Heroes or
Veronica Mars. This is set in the summer of 2007, when every character mentioned is eighteen or turns eighteen before the end of the story.
Summary: Kristen Bell is not at all sure what to expect the first day she presents herself at the lot in Los Angeles on a hot morning in July for her first day of filming
Heroes. She's been giving herself a combination of pep talks and lectures ever since she was cast:
You are not the star. You are not gutsy, sassy, and determined. You are flirty, confused, possibly good or possibly bad. You are no longer Veronica Mars.Notes: The title comes from the song "New Version of You," which was used as the
Felicity theme after I stopped watching it, but actually, try not think of the song as you're reading.
This was written for
waltzingalong for
femslash08. I have never seen a full episode of Heroes and I didn't use a Heroes-picker, so if anyone wants to contribute on that front, I welcome concrit, of the "Um, Ali Larter actually goes by Alison in real life" variety.
