Drabble: Abide (Alias; Sark)

[the_grynne]

It all started with sarkastic's idea.

ETA: The 'verse is continued in 'Creatura' and 'Glance Off Paradise'.

Sark as a fallen angel. No, for real. PG. As above, so below. (Vague Sark/Sydney.)

I see, I seek;
I'm near.
Be true,
Skin.

Ooooh, Alias fic! And such an intriguing premise! This gave me shivers and has a very much like a fairytale and I love that quality. Just, yes. *loves*

Thank you! I'm very glad it worked for you.

aadjzgkhdfgahdlahj could not have come back to a better fic after The Vintner's Luck. I want to quote every other sentence at you because of how much of a chord it strikes. But if I had to choose just the one?

A connoisseur of the profane, he savours vintage wines, picturing worms in the orchard and offal on the ground.

For obvious reasons.

You're absolutely right. Xas is such a remarkable creation, such an unusual literary rendering of an angel, I think I'll always have him in the back of my mind when I write fallen angels.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

As soon as you said it, I knew I had to write it. :) And of course, it wouldn't be Alias without daddy issues - for both Sark and for Sydney. So the AU actually fits.

LOVE. I demand more fallen!Sark.

I'd love to come back to him later, when I've had some more time to think about it. Thank you for the feedback!
