fic master post: Not Afraid
Series Title: Not Afraid
Fandom: American Idol RPF
Rating: PG-13 overall, with some parts that are NC-17
Pairings: Adam Lambert/Kris Allen. Established relationship.
Length: 85,000 words and counting (!!!)
Warnings: Underage sex. No plot. Cavity-inducing fluff.
Summary: The schmoopiest high school AU ever. This story chronicles the cheesy, sappy adventures of teenaged-boyfriends!Kradam and their merry group of friends.
On one random day, instead of taking down notes for class, I wrote this. Technically, I guess you can call this a WIP. There are small details thrown around here and there for some continuity, but all installments stand on their own.
There are 17 stories posted so far. The latest update is here.
The entire story is up at AO3 (in chronological order) here.
The overall series title and all installment titles are taken from the song Not Afraid, written by Michael Arden. It's gorgeous, one of my all-time favorites, and you can listen to Benj Pasek's version here.
In chronological order:
(The middle section is arranged in order that I posted them - other than the prequel-y stuff, I purposely keep the timeline vague.)

The last lull in their conversation ending with Kris kissing Adam's palm and murmuring "I think I'm done waiting now". At the beginning.

If he closes his eyes, he can almost feel the ghost of Kris's warm, familiar weight. Some h/c, a lot of cuddling.
