Prompt: Thin line between heaven and here


Ash stretched, body languid.

Just pour me into a cup.

Or my armor.

She hadn't slept that good in a long time. Not since before the Eden Prime war. Unless you counted all the times she'd passed out from intoxication.

But this time though...

She rolled over and snuggled against the snoring frame, kissed the pale skin. This time had been that thin line between heaven and here.

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths," she whispered, applied another kiss to the shoulder. "Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet...*"

The snoring became a snort. "Mmph, Doll. M'Schleeping."

Ash chuckled. "Not anymore." She kissed his shoulder again, gave a little nibble. "The alarm's about to go off."

"Nope." He stuck his head under the pillow. The next words were muffled. "Taking the day off. Medical leave. Missed my meds. Ask EDI."

"Doctor Chakwas ensured your pills were pulverized in your food, Jeff," EDI's voice came over the comm.

Ashley laughed as Joker grumbled. He groused some more about it being to early for words, but rolled over, hair sticking in directions God never intended it to go.

"It's warm and we're sleeping until the alarm goes off," he told her, kissed her nose and then cuddled up against her.


*Aedh Wishes for The clothes of Heaven by William Butler Yeats - IDK. It fit with the prompt? Kinda? Poetry is not my forte. Fluff is definitely not my forte. I need to go maim something fictional now. D:
