Happy birthday,
layne67! It's been such an exciting year for you and exciting for us to follow along with your adventures. And hey, if you decided to post some more baby pictures, nobody here would complain. I wish you and your family health, happiness, and hobbits.
My present, however, is unhappy teenagers, one of whom is hurt, neither of whom have any idea that their school's going to be taken over by aliens in six months. Sorry I took so long with this, sweetie!
The request (er, made back in October) was for angsty pre-aliens h/c Zeke/Casey. Let's put this in the spring before the aliens come, and imagine Casey looking and acting pretty much like Casey but also a tiny bit like Sandy from the first half of
Flipper (you remember, sullen!Sandy). Along with being pre-aliens it's pre-slash (or gen, I guess), so the PG-13 is only for a little swearing and implied violence (no prettyboys kissing, sorry). 2558 words, unbetaed. Warning: Not much happens. ETA: Read the 500-word remix by
