So today is the tenth anniversary of the first fanfic I ever posted for public consumption. In "honor" of the occasion, a P/C drabble, cut-tagged for those who simply do not care.
Destiny
She never doubts they will end up together, not in the deepest parts of her soul. Certainly they’ve taken other lovers, but even when she marries Jack, the tiniest place in her heart hears another soul calling to hers.
Their careers pull them apart and bring them back. Friends come and go, never understanding this strange dance, anticipating the toothpick-thin lever they need to edge that last breath closer.
It’s destiny.
She reads the terse notice from Starfleet: her former commanding officer has died suddenly and it is like the universe has cracked open and she is falling forever.
