I found this little experiment by chance amongst my WIP files. I finished it and, thinking it would make for a good way to let you know that I am still alive, opted for sharing the tiny thing.
To be perfectly honest, I don't know whether it is good or bad - probably something in between. But at least it tells you that I am still out there and that I haven't forgotten about this fandom. I will continue writing, even if sometimes that takes a little while.

Orbiting
Space. That emptiness so vast, filled with black and silence, with bitter echoes of both - loneliness and loss. Home to those who have nowhere to go: wanderers who have no aim, no place they call a haven.
Cradle for the souls that fell from grace, and faded.
You are one of them, the first and the very last all the same. Victim and committer in one, destroyer and also the one broken.
Running through eternity as it bends before you, flying and yet standing still. A shooting star that has long burnt up, a light so slowly dying.
To roam the whole of time and space till even you are running out of days to live.
Like a moon that lost its orbit, now withdrawn and cold and breaking.
Angry, hurt and lost – seeking, never hoping. Certain of your fate and the searing pain of memories that won't stop hurting, existing but not once experiencing.
Not anymore.
Until your path meets hers.
She is a thought, a fleeting whisper. The glimmer of a star that cannot ever last, steady and yet ever moving, wrapped about tomorrow and bathing it in light.
Golden, blinding, unlike anything that you have ever seen.
A brilliant sun. The source of life.
And she reaches out, offering her warmth when you have never asked for it. Demanding nothing in return she gives, thaws the ice that has grown throughout the War, melts away the empty cold.
Until you breathe.
She is a centre, tearing you away from nothingness, from the dark for you to follow. Unable and unwilling to forsake the hope she bears within. So precious and so overwhelming.
Embracing her you are one part of the whole, are what she was searching for - even though she never knew.
A myth, a riddle, the Wolf that has been stolen. And you, the Thief. The choice has long been made.
For you to glow and shed the darkness, in her wake. To dance.
A new sun and her moon. A prophecy and your tomorrow.
Your orbit.
All throughout eternity, she's the rhythm of your beating hearts.
