Fic: Stones Keep Rolling (Nuke BigBang 2011 entry)
Title: Stones Keep Rolling
Author(s): pirl
Artist: jessnic85
Rating: R for language
Disclaimer: not mine, yadda yadda
Characters/Pairings: Luke/Noah
Word Count: 11,262
Warnings: character death (not the boys!)
Spoilers: none
Summary: AU based on cannon -- Noah said he'd wait for Luke when he left for L.A., but after a while reality set in and he chose to cut all ties to Oakdale. Eight years have since passed, and a death in the Snyder family brings Noah back to Oakdale. What he finds on his return is not what he expected at all. But then again, Noah never expected what his life had become, either.
Author’s Notes: First off, not only did I actually write something (OMG!) but this is the longest fic I've written in, oh, a decade! Thanks to my roommate/in-house beta reader pollitt for keeping my POVs and other such trivial technicalities intact. ;-) Also, kudos to The BigBangers That Be who inspired me to up my own ante this year. Thanks to all of you who write, post, and do everything you can to keep this fandom's heartbeat alive-it's not fun to be a party of one.
Thanks to my artist jessnic85 for the beautiful wallpaper and album art! I love the colors, the snapshots from their lives apart and the lyrics-very cool! It goes perfectly with the story. Seriously, so much with the gorgeous! Don't you just want to lick it? It's okay, you can lick it. I'll wait… okay now wipe off that screen.
Just a quick note on the songs: I listen to music when I write and these songs felt like they fit into the story. It's by no means a soundtrack, I'm just a huge proponent of exposing myself and others to new music so I encourage you to download the songs and do with them whatever you like!
Enjoy, or send raspberries.
