Rec: Happiness Elude (D. Gray-Man)
Story: Happiness Elude
Author: allira_dream
Fandom: D. Gray-Man
Genre: Drama
Pairing/Character: Allen/Rabi
Summary:T-minus-six-hours-fourteen-minutes-fifty-two-seconds for the end of the world to start, and regret tastes like bile in Rabi's mouth.
Squeeing: The deceptive tranquility of the characters in this piece really works well - the end of the world is at hand, and the characters just seem numb. A different spin from most fics of this type.
Excerpt: Rabi makes a soft humming noise, catches the ball once more, throws it once more, pays attention only to the soft sound the ball makes as it bounces against the ancient stones of the headquarters and he definitely doesn't pay attention to the sound of rushing footsteps, nor to the tic-tac his subconcious seems to be carrying on, telling him just how much time they have before they go to the final battle, before half or more of the order goes out there to die.
