Summary: Then he showed up in Australia to come get his son only to find a sulky kid entering a brutal phase of adolescence who didn't remember him, who'd never gotten any of his letters or cards, who didn't want to go to New York or see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or eat anyone's cornbread stuffing. And he couldn't seem to talk to the boy and the boy definitely didn't want to talk to him, and he was already having some serious second thoughts by the time they got to the airport to catch Oceanic 815 back to L.A. Like, sending the boy to Ohio to be raised by his grandma kind of second thoughts. And then, on top of everything else? The damn plane crashed. . Author's Notes: This is a Glee/LOST AU crossover. Fic is a work in progress, but I've finally got a rough draft for Chapter Eleven, so there's hope. My goal is to post every other week, on Tuesdays. Previous chapters and supplemental materials can be found on the masterpost. As always, if I haven't adequately explained any of the LOST stuff, please feel free to leave a comment here and/or pm me. I will answer. seldnei and the-rainbow-jen have been very patiently beta-ing chapters as they are written and then rewritten and then rewritten some more, and helping me through when I stop writing entirely, and I am enormously grateful to them. seldnei in particular put a lot of effort into this chapter, which I think required like ten different drafts to get it just right.
