[Teen Wolf/The 4400] Our Place in Time (1/?) and a few changes
So... there are going to be a few changes around here. Nothing major, nothing that will really impact you in any way, but will make things significantly easier for me. Right now, I'm maintaining four different places where I post my fanfiction -- my LJ comm, my DW comm, ff.net and AO3. That's getting ridiculously cumbersome, especially as, let's face it, no one is reading my stories on LJ or DW anymore. I post, no one comments. That seems to be the trend. And that's a whole lot of work for very little end on my part.
AO3 and ff.net are easy to post to and I like both archives for different reasons. They have different bells and whistles and, in my experience, fairly different readerships. So, I'm going to keep posting to both. I will also continue to make story announcements here and on tumblr, but I'm going to stop updating my two comms. It just isn't worth my time, anymore and with all the new (good!) developments in my life this year, I need to steal back all the time I can get. My stories on AO3 are not guest-locked so you can read and comment even if you don't have an account -- same on ff.net. AO3 has the added benefit that if you want to download a story to an e-reader to read later, you can do that, too. ff.net lets me upload book covers -- not that I've done many yet, but I'm starting to play with it. ;) So, lots of nifty features and I'm seeing less and less reason to look outside of them. Any questions? Feel free to comment. ^_^
And now for the part you've been waiting for... FIC ANNOUNCEMENT!
Our Place in Time (4559 words) by Renee-chan
Chapters: 1/?
Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV), The 4400
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences (subject to change in later chapters)
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinski, Isaac Lahey/Scott McCall, Isaac Lahey/Erica Reyes
Characters: Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale, Peter Hale, Isaac Lahey, Erica Reyes, Sheriff Stilinski, Jackson Whittemore, Allison Argent, Lydia Martin, Vernon Boyd, Shawn Farrell, Susan Farrell, Tom Baldwin, Danny Farrell, Kyle Baldwin
Summary: Two years ago, Stiles was kidnapped by Gerard Argent as a message to Scott… a message that went unheeded. When Stiles is taken a second time and this time isn’t returned, Scott blames himself for ignoring the warning of what would come. It changes him, changes them all. And though Stiles’ loss turns Scott into the very thing he once fought against becoming, he still won’t give up on the idea that Stiles is alive somewhere, just waiting for Scott to find him, wanting to come home. And Scott is not going to fail him, again.
So. *coughs* What's the story, here? The story is that I'm posting a WIP. This goes counter to everything that I've said about writing preferences for the last three years or so, now, but I really don't see this thing working any other way. It's going to take me too long to write otherwise and I currently want to explore the entire 4400 canon from this crossover perspective. So. Yeah. -.-;;; Not conducive to waiting until I'm finished.
It all started with this post. I kept having these random desires to watch the 4400 as I was watching Teen Wolf. It took me a while to figure out why, but eventually I did -- Patrick John Flueger (who plays Shawn Farrell on the 4400) and Dylan O'Brien ( who plays Stiles on Teen Wolf) look uncannily alike. And the wheels started turning. Then
verstehen1 jumped in on the action and the wheels produced plot.
The basic questions: What if Stiles never returned home after helping Scott and company save Jackson? What would that do to the characters of the Teen Wolf world? And what if that abduction was one of 4400 others that happened around the world over the last 80 years? What if Stiles was then returned with the other 4400 to the base of Mt. Rainier in Washington? What if he and Shawn met... and realized exactly how much alike they looked? What if there is more to the story?
Well... I want to know the answers. (Don't get me wrong, I already know plenty of them, but I want to know more and want to share them with you. ^_~) Now, assuming that most of you got here from TW, I'm going to make this as friendly as possible to anyone not familiar with 4400 canon, but if you'd like to get a quick crash course before reading, here is a nifty under 3 minute video that should give you what you need. It's the Season 2 promo, but it actually does a fantastic job of summing up the whole series and even avoids any major spoilers. ^_^
This first part of the story is all Teen Wolf, though, so I hope you'll give it a chance even if you're not a 4400 fan. Angst and dark plot abounds... ^_^ Enjoy? ^_^
