(fic) chasing starlight (1/5)
Title: Chasing Starlight
Pairing(s): Bob/Mikey, various background pairings
Word Count: ~32,600
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Space opera AU! Bob is a cargo pilot on a secret mission. Mikey is an escaped prisoner with no memory of who he is or where he came from. Together, they travel the galaxy in search of Mikey's identity ... but perhaps identity is less what you remember and more what you do when your back's against the wall.
Author's Notes: Once upon a time, a delusional writer said "oh, hey, I can totally write that idea in around 20,000 words or less, it'll be no problem!"
... and then this happened.
This story turned out to be way more epic than I ever thought it would be. I had a hell of a time writing it - I only hope![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teaforbryony (for whom this was written, in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
drawn_to holiday fic exchange) has as much fun reading it!
I would never have made it through if I didn't have atuesdaysgone to patiently listen to my crazy ideas and read my half-formed scenes and generally encourage the hell out of me. (She is also the Destroyer of Commas!) Thanks also go to tigs for beta duty, as well as carleton97 and taylorea for Saturday morning writing motivation. :) Title stolen from Muse.
