Paths of Desire
A Raven/BB fanfiction
By Sara "Secondary Gemini" Hambrook
Usual disclaimer stuff: I don't own Teen Titans, as much as I wish I did... poo for me. Don't sue, you won't get anything off of me.
Notes: Let me start off by saying that I am NOT a Terra fan. For those of you who dislike her as much as I do, she WILL get hers by the end of this story. For those who like her, flames will be laughed at, pissed on, and thrown to my flame-eating hamster. You have been warned.
I have increased the ages of the Titans, for this story alone. They are as follows (oldest to youngest, as I feel they would be anyway);
Cyborg: 19
Robin: 18
Starfire: 18
Beast Boy: 17
Raven: 17
Terra: 16
On that note, I have also pushed some of the events back – Terra's appearance and then disappearance, as seen in the episode "Terra", happened only days before the timeline in this story. Yes, in the series, they are all younger. I know this. For this story, their ages need to be a bit older.
Currently I am pending approval from Donna P. regarding the use of two of her copyrighted characters. I will continue to post the story, as they don't appear until later chapters, but when it is time for them to enter I will pause the story until I know either way. In that time you should check out her kickin' artwork! )
One last thing, I swear! ; Here are the lyrics to the song this story is named after. Do with it what you will – "Paths of Desire" copyright 1995 to the group October Project.
Paths of Desire
I have traveled the paths of desire
Gathering flowers and carrying fire
Raising a grave to the reasons behind me
Looking for strength as you live to remind me
I'm drawn to you
I'm caught in you
I am the fly who dreams of the spider
The path to the web becomes deeper and wider
I dream of the silk that is tangled inside you
And know that I want to be somewhere beside you
I'm drawn to you
I'm caught in you
In your eyes
All of the promises
All the lies
Will you keep all of the promises
In your eyes
I am crossing the bridges of sorrow
Empty with yearning and full of tomorrow
The river is high and the bridges are burning
I know I've been hurt but I keep on returning
I'm drawn to you
I'm caught in you
In your eyes
All of the promises
All the lies
Will you keep all of the promises
In your eyes
I have traveled the paths of desire
Following smoke and remembering fire
The night is falling, the path is receding
I don't need to see it to know where it's leading
In your eyes
All of the promises
All the lies
Will you keep all of the promises
In your eyes
