Day 7

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something.

The night air was cool around them. Endless black above. The void leeching the warmth from the blood running dark under exposed wrists and throats.
But the black beneath them was warm. Hard and gleaming under the dust. Fueled by running. Hard and fast and far. Ceaseless running. World without end. Running deeper than the dark in their hearts.
One shivers. The other feels it and shrugs the brown leather from his shoulders to the other's shoulders that belong to him. Or at least bear his tears.

"Damn...looks good on you"
"Do I look pretty?"
"Shut up...Bitch"
"Jerk"

*******

Because of a line in this song

Thank you sweetie!
I'm so glad you liked it, I really quite like doing this little snippets.

I don't know what it is about The Avett Brothers, I'm starting to think they're closet Wincesters! Every damn song seems to make me think of them and the line, "I gave to you my ugly brown coat. You made it pretty when you put it on." just would not leave my brain alone!
But no matter how pretty I try and make them, they always lower the tone in the end...

Thank you so much for commenting : ) x

Aghhh--this is AWESOME! So beautiful and poetic. Gorgeously written, with then that way our boys have of covering over deep feeling with everything else. Ooh, I loved it!

I'm so glad you liked it! I do like the idea of drabbles being like poetry or haikus, trying to condense as much into them as possible. It's a nice challenge.

I was totally expecting them to say something poetical this time but no...as usual.

I keep thing about something someone was speculating about the boys' last words on the show and whether these would be them...it makes sense but I really hope they're not x
