Crossroads by Blakefancier (G)
Fandom: DRAKE’S VENTURE
Pairing: Thomas/Francis
Length: ~300 words
Author on LJ: blakefancier
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: A tiny story, more of a poem than a story, really. The images, economical and bladed, cut to the heart - and end on a note of surprising hopefulness.
Thomas closed his eyes and heard the beating of the drum. It reminded him of his heartbeat and then it was his heartbeat and he could taste it in his mouth.
It tasted of autumn apples: crisp and tart and firm.
