Never Finished Fic: Must Seem So Strange (Mike/Kevin, FRM, 28,000 words) Master Post
The story behind this story is that last August skoosiepants posted a prompt for a story wherein Mike and Kevin meet on Halloween when Pete has assigned Mike to dress in drag. I wrote a beginning, and then I kept writing. And writing and writing and writing. And eventually I reached a place where I didn't really want to be working on this anymore, and it does have an ending that more or less works as an ending. To be a real story, it would need some editing and possibly another 30,000 words. Sadly, this is not going to happen, but I still love much of it and you might enjoy it.
Thanks are due to eleanor_lavish, sunk-the-glow, lakeeffectgirl, and mayqueen517, who let me add them to the Google Doc so I would feel responsible to someone and who left me entertaining and helpful comments. I've been working on this for a long time, so there may have been other people who were also helpful in ways I've since forgotten about. You have my thanks too.
Disclaimer: Entirely fictional.
Summary: Mike doesn't really know how these things happen to him. No, wait, he does. He can totally blame it on Bill. / Kevin doesn't really know how these things happen to him. It's possible he was a disobedient lemur in a past life and this is how the universe is letting him make amends. Or maybe there's like, some kind of quota for number of crazy things a person has to do in his life, and fate's just helping him along. But probably, probably it's just Joe's fault.
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Soundtrack
