You and I
~ by memory's marionette
Ian and Amy
71. Contre-jour
And what can darkness ever give to light, other than a place to shine?
72. Graffiti
And if her heart is a wall of graffiti, he is surely the only vandal.
73. Wish
She wishes to weep at their shattered dreams, but sorrow is stupid.
She wishes to believe in their remnants of hope, but belief is a graveyard.
Jake and Amy
74. Air
And every second spent together is like stealing air.
Ned and Reagan
75. Nightmare
He dreams of paradise, only to wake up to hell on earth.
(He wonders when she will hold his hand as she does his brother's.)
76. Sight
It hurts so much when you look at her; it hurts so much when you don't.
(And a part of him wonders why he wasn't blinded instead.)
77. Asymptotes
And the boundary of romance and lovers is one they will never cross.
78. Eyelash
Her happiness will always be his eyelash wish.
Hamilton and Sinead
79. Sneeze
A loud sneeze echoes through the hallway, and she runs back to the living room. He stops talking to his friend and immediately puts the phone down.
She glares at him crossly. "You were complaining about me again, weren't you?"
He only smiles sheepishly in return.
80. Apricity
He basks in the radiance of her smile that spreads thick and heavy and golden like sunlight, feels the warmth that's like the sun in winter.
A grin lights up his face.
He is home.
A/N: Hello.
So I have news: I'm not writing for this fandom anymore. Frankly, I've lost interest. I did try to reacquaint myself with the series to see whether I could come to like it again, but it didn't work out too well.
I hate seeing unfinished multi-chapter stories, so I'll try to complete whatever's left; I put the notices up already in the summaries. Thanks so much for all the support and love for my writing and stories; there's been growth that I don't think was possible without your criticism and input. It's all very much appreciated, and I'll never forget it.
I'll still be around, just not as a writer, and you can PM me if anything.
God bless. :)
Edit: For 71, 'contre-jour' is French for 'against daylight' or in other photographic terms, 'backlighting'. For 79, some cultures believe that when you sneeze, it means that someone is talking about you.
