[fanfic] Notre Priere I - Heart of Paris (Epilogue)
After several revisions for my FACE-centric project, I came bearing it's epilogue for it's first arc (Francis's) for a teaser :)
Also, fake cut. But do comment here.
Title: Notre Priere I - Heart of Paris (Epilogue)
Author: silentside & fallenangelkat
Characters: F/A/C/E family. But more on Arthur and Matthew interaction.
Warning/Note: There are necessary human OCs. Amateur action scenes. Inspired bits from Churchill's speeches. Set in early years of WW2.
(PS. I highly recommend listening to this song while reading this.)
Summary:
“Paris…have already fallen.”
Matthew’s eyes widened, he can’t believe what he just heard. “Papa…?”
"Captured." Arthur chuckles bitterly as he looked up from his hands. They were trembling. "That...frog, I knew him too bloody well enough to know that he could have lasted a bit longer! I didn't expect this...I know it’s..."
Inevitable. That’s what Matthew knew Arthur was going to say. It’s inevitable, why did you think I ordered the withdrawal of your men from French soil? They have surrendered, our men had to evacuate, it’s not like we have a choice. We’ve tried to hold out the best we can, on the ground, on the sea, on the skies. The older blond lifted his face; his gaze met the pair of concerned amethyst ones that are almost in the same level as his own. Sometimes he forgets how tall Matthew really was.
