This is the last part of what I have written. Again, as I said at the beginning, any thoughts and suggestions and concrit and encouragement would be most gratefully received. I'm not quite sure why I got stuck here. I think because there's no need to stick to such detail for the next few years, but I'm not sure how to transition into a later date, or even what date I should move to. Obviously the rest of the story was not meant to cover every day so closely, but the year I covered is obviously one of the most important to the tale. So I know I need to only stick with the truly important moments in his life, but it's hard to go from this to that, you know? Anyway, on with the fic. :)

This began far too long ago from a single line in another fic of mine, Silent Apologies. The line was "Billy had too much music inside him for it to ever be constrained or fully contained." Several people mentioned being struck by that line, and after thinking about it for some time, the music fic was born. This is Billy/Dom, but barely. Really, it's about Billy.

This fic is very, very dear to my heart. It's different from anything else I've ever written, and I'm not sure why, but I really love it, and I'm very proud of it. Despite Billy ruining parts of it by giving opposite information in his interviews, damn him. :P

So if you have ideas, suggestions, feedback, concrit, anything at all, I would really appreciate hearing it.

Title: Surfacing 1/? WIP

Wordcount: this chapter 5,200
Warning: AU, angst, drama, h/c
Summary: Principal Lighthouse Keeper William Boyd has a lonely existence as he watches over the storm-tossed seas from Dubh Artach Lighthouse. What happens when the sea deposits chaos on his doorstep in the form of Dominic Monaghan?

Many thanks to tigertale7 for holding my hand through this whole thing and beta'ing along the way, to giddy_london, celtprincess13 and hyacinth_sky747 for the fantastic beta jobs, and to vensre for some last minute icon help! Most of all, thanks to voontah for the original idea and the song. None of this would have happened without her. ♥

Notes: Written for monaboyd_month, but it wound up being longer than I could finish in such a short time. It is therefore a WIP.

But before the fic, a song! No, this is NOT a songfic. However, Ready For The Storm by Dougie MacLean was definitely inspiration both on the subject, and for my mood while writing. Download, listen, enjoy! Consider it a one-song soundtrack. Let me know when the link no longer works, and I'll re-upload.
