Rating: R
Summary: It’s going to be a hard sell, since everyone who knows her will expect sleeping pills and chardonnay. Lynn Echolls doesn’t jump, but she doesn’t leave it all behind on the Coronado Bridge, either.
Spoilers: Primarily through 2x22, but includes the L/V relationship arch through 3x15.
Warnings: Probably a strong PG-13, but R to be safe. Includes all the usual unsavory fare of Neptune, including mild language, alcoholism, child abuse, and character death.
Author's Notes: The characters might belong to Rob Thomas, but I’ll require their use if my claim is accepted at
100_situations. Named after the Snow Patrol song, simply for the irony that it came on while I was planning a fic on this particular subject. Special thanks to
jayiin and
lazaefair, the usual partners in crime. More notes below. Prompt: alive.
It’s not Lilly, of course, the girl I had long ago accepted as the one he’d date and marry and grow old with, but another girl I know almost as well. I pray the tabloids aren’t around to see how he tenderly brushes Veronica’s hair back from her face, despite the obvious pain his wince suggests the gesture brings.
