Pairing: Background Bob/Brian, Chantal/Jimmy, Amanda/Dusty/Katie Kay.
Word Count: 24,214
Rating/Warnings: R. Character death, violence, some blood/gore, brief mentions of torture and a past rape.
Summary: As the only survivor of a series of executions by the Squad at an underground music show, Lindsey starts her own private revolution doing (illegal) street art. Then, one night, caught out by and running from a Patrol group, she gets unexpected help in evading capture -- and joins a much more public revolution. Set in a very different New York City.


Author's Notes:

This fic would never have happened without a great deal of help from some amazing, amazing people. First and foremost, I can't tell you how much I owe enhendi and wasoncedelight--they held me to my own canon, yelled at me about characterization and punctuation and my many, many run-on sentences. torakowalski helped me build this universe, in a series of emails wherein I went "What if..." and she nodded encouragingly at me and asked intelligent questions, and then she betaed one of the early drafts as well. Finally, without the hand-holding, the cheering, and the support of nokomis305, thesamefire, and absenteye and many other poor souls on my flist, the story would not have been finished. I love all of you very much, ladies.

Also and obviously, I am most grateful to my wonderful artist tuesdaysgone, my fantastic mixers sweetnovicane and astaria51, who created marvelous, marvelous bonus content for my story, and to the bandombigbang mods for running this awesome challenge again. Someone mentioned color-coded spreadsheets, and oh man, I can't even imagine the madness. Finally, I borrowed the summary from here.

Hey, I'm just catching up with bandombigbang because I haven't had my internet up in two weeks, but I wanted to say - this fic was awesome pre-beta, so much so that I printed the whole thing out at my college library and read it out loud to my girlfriend, actually. I'm super excited to read the finished version!

Would you mind terribly if I friended you? I wanted to know who all my people were, and now I do and it's really kind of cool :D

Oh man, that's so good to hear. :D (I don't have writerly doubts, oh no.) I hope the finished version was better or at least as good as the draft?

Of course I don't mind, you're so so welcome to. *grins* Welcome to the madhouse?

Aww, I'm glad! Don't doubt yourself. (And: I honestly have been jobhunting and haven't gotten around to my window full of tabs, but I have complete faith that it will be.)

Haha, why thank you :D

YOU ALREADY KNOW MY THOUGHTS ON THIS FIC, BUT THIS IS THE PART I LEFT OUT OF THE EMAIL, BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE OBJECTIVE OR SOMETHING:
