In the dark, there is freedom

I don't normally cross post stuff from my fiction journal, didnttakestars, to this journal, but I worked really hard on this vampire fic and I don't think that it's getting noticed in the vampirebigbang comm. Plus I don't know if all of my friends are aware that I have a fiction journal. So, yeah. Cross-posting FTW!

Summary: Patrick Malden has always dreamed of being a cop, and while the life of a security guard isn't the most glamorous, it's putting him one step closer to his goal. Patrolling the warehouses along the Los Angeles docks isn't his dream job either but it keeps food on his table and a roof over his head. Most nights are pretty routine; most nights, that is, until one fateful night in late June when a group of dock workers are unloading a shipment of electronics straight from Japan. Sounds fairly routine, right? Too bad there's something hidden in the cargo hold, something that is -- judging by the hissing -- pissed.

The discovery sets into motion a chain of events that takes Patrick's life into a direction he never could have foreseen.
Author's Note: Thank you so much to creepylicious for being my beta as well!

As an added bonus, likesthesilence made art for me with the actors I cast as Jesse and Patrick. She did this on her own whim, and I thought it deserved recognition too. I am deeply appreciative to all my artists and mixer. Thank you guys so, so much!

Yes, I'm on your friends page again. Sorry, heh, I forgot about posting this last week, and I haven't seen a post up yet in vampirebigbang...

Basically, I signed up to do art for a fic, and the author could not finish it in time because of RL issues. So I am posting my art here. Because, well, I'm really proud of it.

( I can't find the summary for the fic, I don't know what I did with the email, but the basic gist of it was this: Miley Cyrus is a vampire, she bites Nick and turns him, chaos ensues )
