Give Up, Give In

by Remington Rand

Derek needs Casey, and the realization opens something like Pandora's box in his head. Dasey. T for mature themes. (This is the revised and expanded version of the previously-published Verisimilitude and Veracity. Read preface for details on chapter structure, future plans, and more.)

1. Preface

Preface

This is the revised version of the original story "Versimilitude" and its sequel, "Veracity".

It has undergone substantial changes but follows most of the original concepts for the storylines fairly closely.

It is broken up in parts to refer to the original stories:

Part 1 – Need

Part 2 –Versimilitude

Part 3—Veracity

Additions:

The beginning of the story is based on the one-shot, "Need" to create a better story of origin.

The end of the story is quite different than what was seen in "Veracity".

Story Timeline:

The timeline references episodes from seasons 2 and 3, dismisses part of season 3 and season 4 (e.g., no Truman, no Sally), as well as the film.

Current events are also referenced, therefore implying that the story isn't meant to take place when episodes originally aired.

Upcoming plans:

There is a companion fic I am planning alongside that will be Lizzie-centric and extend past the ending we see here, but "Give Up, Give In" is meant to be able to stand on its own just as well.

I hope you enjoy the read, and please review!
