Why this must be read: This is pretty much epic. It's a story told from Luke's POV that takes place in a post-apocalypse AU where the norms of society has fallen apart - it's all about surviving and the powerful vs the powerless, and although Luke ends up as a sex slave he does not do all that bad for himself. The way his POV is written is convincing and his pragmatism and his attraction to power shines through. And the smut, my God, the smut... it's amazing! This is some terrifyingly good bdsm with Luke as a wonderfully greedy bottom.hangthemj really nails the utter worship that most Luke/Sylar shippers live for.
And the opening scene alone... It's angsty and tragic and striking.
The vaccination didn’t come to people like him, not the poor vagabonds who roamed the roads and wallowed in the filth that had been left behind by the plague of their time. The vaccination saved only the people who could conveniently be saved, and by then it seemed to be an empty promise since the disease had vanished as suddenly as it had come about.
The rich tried to pick up and carry on like nothing had happened, but the splinters were too jagged and small to gather up and piece back together. Those with the biggest handfuls of influence and wealth made their own rules.
It was in this way that Luke had found himself under the care of Mr. Linderman.
