Title: Red
Pairing: Willie Loomis/Maggie Evans
Fandom: Dark Shadows
Theme: #29 Red
Ever since Willie met her he loved the color red – she made him forget all about the mere fact that it was the revolting hue of blood. When he was with her, nothing else seemed to matter, including the ever-vengeful vampire constantly at his throat.
What he loved the most about red, however, was that it was the color of her hair. Although it was mostly tangled and gnarled due to her constantly living in the cell in the basement, Willie still loved to watch it fall about her shoulders and glow like that of the rising sun.
At night, when the dream of her ever looking at him in a different way would fade away into nothingness, Willie would feel the red of his heart beating and telling him that she would never be his.
