Oblivion Ch 2
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
This is probably the writing project I've been most excited about, ever. I went away from it for several months in the name of finishing Vitality, but this is the project that I've poured the most into.
Oblivion takes place during Deadlock, and explores the unexplained-in-canon interactions of Laura and Zero, as he probes her mind for information by setting the two of them in a simulation of Laura's life up over the previous several years. Zero is seeking information that can be used to help the Glasshouse, as Laura does her best to rewrite history in real time to prevent Zero from ever finding out about the events of the previous seven books.
It's my first foray into the sort of genius vs genius storytelling I've always enjoyed reading about, but most of all, this fic is pretty dark. It's a bit grim now, but it's going to get much darker. The rating is T at this point, but I may have to push it to M as the story proceeds. The darkness comes primarily from violence and the feeling of surveillance and control. I don't write sexual content.
Please check it out, and, of course, please tell me what you thought.
