Well, this is my first RENT fiction, so be kind.
One day the idea came to me that I'd love to see my two favorite Jewish characters get together so I thought I'd play with this a bit. Let me know what you think! Also, one thing I kinda played with was the time period. It's about a year after the series finale of Buffy, as well as a year after the events of RENT. BUT they're taking place at the same time. So, let's pretend that RENT happened a bit in the future (but to keep with the story lines, things aren't going to change much for RENT, for example, the HIV issue) Also, the title might (and probably will) change when I can come up with something better, and perhaps a bit more creative...
MarkWillow, as well as all the other pairings seen in either Buffy or RENT.
Also, I don't own. I rent...borrow...use as play toys in my fantasy land. All will be returned to their respective owners relatively unharmed and no worse for the wear :-D
Once More With Feeling
"Zoom in on the elderly couple enjoying the day in the park," Mark said quietly as he focused his camera on the unknowing pair across the park. Elderly couples in love had always intrigued Mark. There was hope there.
He looked around the park, keeping his camera on the couple. He breathed in the cool September air as he took in his surroundings.
A small group of kids playing some sort of game. A woman walking her dog. A young couple pushing a stroller.
Then he saw her and without thinking changed the focus of his camera lens to her. A young woman with fiery red hair walking along the sidewalk of the park. She was striking and walked with confidence. Mark was captivated by her.
He watched as she crossed the street and out of his line of vision. He quickly packed the stuff he had into his bag and got up to follow her. By the time he got to the street corner, the redhead was no where to be seen.
He sighed and hefted his bag over his head and began his walk back to the loft.
Judging by the quiet in the room, Roger was likely downstairs at Mimi's. Mark dropped his bag on the couch and took his camera out, and went to looking over his days footage, though the thoughts of the redhead kept interupting his work. He paused on an image of her.
He didn't know what it was about her. Sure, she was gorgeous, but he'd seen plenty of gorgeous women before that didn't strike him quite so hard.
"That thing will permanently attach itself to your hand, you're not careful." Mark jumped, shutting off the film and turning around to see Roger and Mimi coming in through the window.
"Heeey, guys." he said, trying to sound casual. Like he wasn't just staring at some mystery woman he'd caught on film. They both looked at him strangely but didn't say anything.
"Get anything good today?" Mimi asked.
"Haven't really gotten a change to go through it all yet."
"Ooh, can I see it?" Mark smiled. Mimi loved to watch his raw footage.
"Sure, let me get it to the beginning." Mimi smiled and she and Roger curled together on the couch.
Mark wasn't sure why, but he didn't want to show them his last shot.
No.
He wanted to keep her to himself. At least for now.
