My Stardust Melody, Chapter 1/?
Title: My Stardust Melody
Author: Petuniagirl
Rating: R
Genre: AU of the soapy/angsty/romantic variety
Warnings: Angst; deaths of certain ATWT characters are discussed (but Not Luke or Reid--they are perfectly safe). I only do happy Lure-endings, but you'll have to wade through the drama and the romance for it.
Characters: Reid and Luke, Damian, Maddie, Faith, eventually other Oakdale residents
Disclaimer: Characters are property of ATWT, CBS, P&G etc. Clearly, they aren't mine.
Summary: Luke meets Reid at an elaborate "Roaring Twenties" party at an estate in New York. Instantly feeling a connection to each other, they fall in love over the weekend, but secrets and lies will make the path to 'happily ever after' difficult. The plot spans the course of several years, so obviously there's a bit more than a party involved, but I need to have some surprises ;)
A/N: Thank you to my dear beta, franchop! Without her, I'd never finish a chapter or even get past coming up with a title.
Fingers crossed, I'll keep this story to under 100,000 words this time. I swore I'd never do another long fic, but I liked this plot too much to pass up. This is AU, though most of Luke's past is the same up until he reaches age 18.
