Meet the misfortune as it comes (Venienti occurrite morbo)
title: Meet the misfortune as it comes / Venienti occurrite morbo
rating: T
summary: The year is 1968, and the precursor to the Dharma Initiative is making its presence known on the island. Karen De Groot and her husband Gerald have come to the island seeking an escape from the pressures of life in Ann Arbor, with the utopian vision of a new scientific society, but encounters with the island natives prove nothing can ever go according to plan.
setting: 1968, primarily on the island but some on the mainland, specifically Ann Arbor, Michigan
pairings: Eloise Hawking/Richard Alpert, Eloise Hawking/Charles Widmore, Jeanette Lewis/David Lewis, Horace Goodspeed/Olivia and probably some others mentioned as background.
author’s notes: this is a semi-alternate universe story which deviates slightly from established canon. Specifically, character’s ages may not be consistent with canon, and I’ve also used real life people, mainly scientists, as characters. There is also some question as to when the Dharma Initiative was established and how it got there. This story answers those questions in ways that may not be compatible to what we learn in S6.
