Zara's Haiku

by RedheadedMarina

My answer to The Death Frisbee's challenge in the Reviews Lounge: Write a 100-word-ish one-shot for your fandom without using the letter 'E' in English. The story must be intelligible and make sense. No abbreviations or intentional misspellings should be used (so no 'Shrlock,' for instance). Charles Xavier and Zara Reilly. One-shot.

"Writing isn't my strong suit, just so you know." Zara's lips distract as ink pools on skin.

Mutation is a

Twist in DNA that brings

Sorrow. You. Now joy.

A laugh.

"Can I look?"

"Not now."

"How long until my turn?"

"If you can stand it, go on."

Dark ink joins with skin and warms to his touch.

"Stay still..."

Words writ long ago

Finally brought to us on

Your skin flush with lust

"Your turn again."

"Can you stay still?"

"I don't think so..."

"Good."

Ink falls. Lips touch. An original work of art.
