Title: Final Moments

Rating: PG

Warning: Character death




“If you knew then what you know now, what would you change?”

 

Time ticked forward, not slowing down but not in a rush to get the situation over with either. Blood continued to drip in a steady rhythm, plop plop on to the packed dirt and the birds overhead did not cease their trilling, as life slipped away; red through clenched fingers and breath past constricted throat.

 

Lashes swept over dirtied cheeks as each blink became slower and more lethargic, eyes glazing as the final moments approached; memories popping forward for a final laugh or tears. Images rolled through until the last ones settled on the person whose lap was currently occupied with a dying body.

 

The memories subsided until all that was left was an expression of grim acceptance and eyes speaking volumes of unsaid emotion. Fingers brushed bloodied hair and touched gently on clammy skin. Warm lips touched cold, oh so fleeting but saying everything. Palms touched and hands intertwined, holding for just a little longer.

 

A smile, as warm as skin was cold, spread over a paled face and fire bounced, for no more than a second, into dimming eyes. The birds fell silent and the breeze in the trees stopped as final words were whispered, to be heard by those who listened closely.

 

“Absolutely nothing.”

I understand that particular relationship. It's like, "no...but maybe...no...well...nooo...ye...dammit."

So that means I can put my name to anything and you'll read it? That's kind of flattering but it also makes me wonder what I could get you to read. *cackles silently while plotting*

Exactly! I adore happy endings, which a fic with character death usually doesn't have. But they can be so well-written and they make me want to cry, but I read anyway. Same with fics where Zoro's in love with Sanji, who doesn't notice. *shakes fist* DAMN YOU SANJI. I suppose that's why I like Sanji ---> Zoro so much, despite its rarity. It's your turn now, love-cook! *laughs evilly*

If you tell me it has a pairing that I ship in it, and slap your name on it, I'll read. Even if you lie to me.

It's makes me feel special to know that I have such loyal followers. It means that I can sacrifice them on the alter of violent ghei and everyone can continue to be happy.

Your followers are very loyal. And willing to be sacrificed to Ghei Gods to do anything.
