Talented Voice (12869 words) by bleedingheartshow Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: Alan Wake (Video Games) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Odin Anderson/Thomas Zane, Odin Anderson & Tor Anderson & "Fat" Bob Balder, Thomas Zane/Barbara Jagger (mentioned) Characters: Odin Anderson, Tor Anderson, Fat Bob Balder, Thomas Zane Additional Tags: lots of moonshine and rock and roll, Implied Drug Use, Anal Sex, (young) old gods of asgard, 1970s Bright Falls, Explicit Sexual Content, Porn With Plot, Desk Sex, Anal Fingering, Oral Sex, Dom/sub Undertones, Pre-Canon, Slow Burn, POV Multiple Series: Part 1 of To Madness and Beyond Summary: In 1971 the auteur filmmaker Thomas Zane commissions the newly-formed Old Gods of Asgard to create the soundtrack for his new movie. It's a collaboration for the ages, but there's one problem - Odin Anderson can't stop thinking about Thomas Zane.

I first posted this Odin Anderson/Thomas Zane fic back in February 2024. It was written on a whim and I had no idea it would spawn a 80,000+ word series with six planned fics featuring Odin, Zane, and the Old Gods of Asgard. I've decided to revisit this story to ensure it is a strong entry point to my series. I've heavily revised it and expanded the original two chapters, and I've added a prologue chapter that I hope fans of the series will enjoy. :)

I've written a total of 7500 words of additional content for this fic, so if you've already read it, I do hope you'll read it again! And if you're new to this series, this is the perfect time to dive in.

A note on the banner - I definitely headcanon Odin looking a very specific way in the 1970s, and my lovely friend @rangerzath made this incredible banner showcasing Odin exactly how I see him (essentially, a younger Marko Saaresto.)
