fic: Dare Not Speak -- Star Trek: Enterprise

Oct 23, 2011 12:48

Greetings! It seems this comm is a bit slow, but I come bearing fic, anyway. c:

Title: Dare Not Speak
Pairing/Characters: Trip Tucker/Malcolm Reed
Word Count: 3388
Warnings: language, sexual situations, darkness
Notes: Mirrorverse!AU, so may contain spoilers for the season 4 episodes "In the Mirror, Darkly," parts I & II. The unnamed writer Reed quotes is Oscar Wilde (Ballad of Reading Gaol). The title of this fic, and last line, are allusions to the poem "Two Loves" by Lord Alfred Douglas-- "Have thy will, I am the Love that dare not speak its name." I found it appropriate.

Dare Not Speak

Tucker’s face is pulled down in half a frown, one eye sealed closed. It’s because of a scar, a scar from the engines, those things he loves.
