Nuke Big Bang 2012 Collabs: Illuminated & (if it's love) maybe we'll make it out alive -- Luke/Noah
I had the pleasure to collab with three excellent writers for this year's big bang. Definitely a learning experience at times and a riot and a half at others. I just want to say thank you to carolinablu85, noelleleithe, and of course frances_veritas (OHMYGOD I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MANAGED TO DO IT, LOL) for agreeing to work with me. Fucking amazing the lot of them.
Quick thank you to sarafim and solostrightnow for their fan-fucking-tabulous art and amazing-mind-blowing video! SO MUCH APPRECIATION FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
Anyway.
Read on, McDuffs.
(Um. I am lazy and just stole these summaries from the girls, heh.)
Title: Illuminated
Authors: carolinablu85, freakykat, and noelleleithe
Artist: sarafim
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: Don't own. Don't sue.
Characters/Pairings: Luke/Noah endgame, a little Luke/Reid, and most of the citizens of Oakdale, like, ever
Word Count: ~43,000
Warnings: Luke/Reid; some violence, various liberties taken with canon
Summary: Bob Hughes knows what it's like to be blind, scared, and alone. Forty years ago, he lost his sight in an explosion and his wife in the fallout. When he sees the same thing happening to Noah Mayer, he steps in to offer what help he can, but the secret he uncovers runs much deeper than any of them could have expected.
Title: (if it's love) maybe we'll make it out alive (sequel to And You Played It to the Beat)
Author(s: frances_veritas and freakykat
Artist: solostrightnow (amaaaaazing, she is.)
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: We don't own anything in this story except for maybe the island the boys are on. Oh wait, we don't own that either. Woe.
Characters/Pairings: Luke/Noah, Noah/Reid (past), Luke/OMC (past) other miscellaneous pairings (shhh read to find out). Zoe, Damian, Reid, Casey, Holden, Lucinda, more Oakdale citizens, two OMCs
Word Count: 50kish (ahahahahahha. Remember when we were like, this is definitely not going to be anywhere near close the word count in our last fic? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHA. ah.)
Warnings: Character death! (not the boys). NOT BETA'ed. We didn't have time. So there are probably a ton of errors. Our bad. We're having someone look it over later though. :P Really, really shoddy as hell research. Action movie tropes and clichés, ahoy! Two OMCs that play pretty big parts. So I hope they're not too distracting.
Summary: AU. Seemingly against all odds, Luke and Noah have built a life together and found happiness despite the constant threat of danger that looms over their heads. But after a year of running, they know they can’t hide forever.
Armed with the information they’ve gathered, it might just be enough power to strike and take down their most dangerous enemies. But it’s not going to be easy. Both are faced with hard decisions they need to make when they decided to leave the life they've ever known to be with each other. Comprises are struck and sacrifices have to be made.
With the help of a few allies, reluctant best friends, and disgruntled exes, Luke and Noah fight to try and take back the lives they gave up and live the ones they have now. And they might just get that happily ever after.
