There's a thin line between paradise and hell, love and hate, and anger and happiness. You'd do well to not cross them. - Used to be 'a breath of snow and ashes' - NextGen - Drabbles - Freeverse - Incest may Occur -

35. Fear: Lorcan,Lysander

pairing: lorcan,lysander

prompt: 'fear'

It was a common fact that Lorcan&Lysander did everything together.

Well.

Maybe everything was an exaggeration.

Lysander was simply terrified of porcelain dolls.

His fear was irrational. There was no reason why he was scared, he just was.

Lorcan teased him at first.

But then Lysander killed himself. Because he was surrounded-allfoursides- with porcelain dolls.

A practical joke, seemingly harmless, by a friend.

And Lorcan never forgot.

He could forgive.

He couldn't forget.

It wasn't possible.

And he married his brother's murderer's sister, because he could forgive, but he just. couldn't. forget.

And to this day, Lorcan's scared of porcelain dolls, too, because, hey, that's just life.

(Forgive and forget is easy to say, but forget is impossible.)
