Notes: written for a meme wherein I had only the length of a song to write a drabble inspired by the song.

Music: the brilliant green - "Ash Like Snow"

"Each Like the First"

Flying with AJ was always a breath-taking experience. Megan never got tired of the thrill that ran down her spine, into every pore of her body, making her heart race. And now that she could teleport it was just another heightening of memories forming with him. Memories she cherished.

Memories that he would forget as soon as he died once more.

But maybe these would stay fresh every time he returned to Merridiah. She was the anchor, after all. There'd be history written down with her name in it. Just as her and Dane's children had remembered her, she hoped that the students would.

The waves were crashing along the beach as Aj crouched into the sand, that playful (irresponsible smile) tugging on his lips. "Shall we, gorgeous?" (It came out so naturally-)

Her heart fluttered and she wrapped her arms around him even tighter. "Yes."

And then they were off in the air, daring her borrowed life and his undead one, tempting the Fates by flowing over the Sea of Somnifery.

But he wouldn't let her drop, and Dane couldn't reach them here.

Here where their love was free from all.
