MASTERPOST: The Open Way's Too Dangerous - WIP
Title: The Open Way's Too Dangerous (WIP)
Fandom: Dark Angel
Pairings/Characters: There are definite Max/Ames/Alec vibes in varying combinations, but nothing too explicit.
Rating: R
Warnings: Language. Crack. And I say again, this a WIP, so don't say you weren't warned.
Timeline/Spoilers: Takes place at some vague point before Freak Nation. Transgenics are a known "threat to public", but some individual faces aren't quite famous for it yet.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Not for profit. Title from the song First Wave Intact by Secret Machines. Also, there's a snippet of a quote toward the end that was extracted from the Dark Angel Wiki.
Word Count: ~9k so far.
Summary: Alec, Max, and Ames White mysteriously lose their memories and have to team up to fight off the gang of Steelheads who seem pretty intent on killing them. Many misunderstandings about the world around them and who they are to each other seem inevitable.
A/N: Ahhh, finally! Written for the da-reversebang based on cassiopeia7's MAGNIFICENT art prompt. Massive thanks to her for putting up with me. I fell in love with the art prompt immediately, and I kind of love this thing that it birthed, even if I haven't slept for days and any last-minute edits might come off wonky. My beta was my roommate, who's not familiar with canon, so any plot holes are entirely my own fault.
ETA 7/17/14: Oh geez. Just about a year later, what a mess. Short story: there was a huge, major plot hole that I didn't notice until the last second. I locked everything back up in a hurry to edit that, got one of those phone calls that no one ever wants to get literally in the middle of rewriting this thing, and that sent RL into tailspin where, unfortunately, fandom stuff fell to the wayside. I haven't been able to write worth a damn for a long time, but some gentle prodding from denyce (THANK YOUUUU) got me to look at this again and I decided to just post what I have now, and post the rest as it comes/is edited. An unfinished something is better than nothing, I think? I hope. Anyway, ENDLESSLY HUGE WHOPPING apologies to my artist, cassiopeia7, for the utter failure on my part. If nothing else, everyone should take a look at the art, because, again, it is magnificent!
