FIC: [Untitled] "7:00 AM - Main Line" (24)
Title: [Full Story Currently Untitled] "7:00 AM - Main Line"
Author: Galadriel (caras_galadhon)
Fandom: 24
Pairing: None currently.
Rating: G
Archive: Lothlorien. Any suggestions for communities that would welcome 24 fic appreciated.
Feedback: Always appreciated.
Disclaimer: Absolutely not mine. 24 belongs entirely to its creators, not me.
Summary: One day ends, another begins.
Notes: Follows directly from the end of Season 4. First in a series of 24 24 drabbles. (It may be late, but coincidentally, this is only a few hours shy of being posted on the 24th.) Can I manage the full cycle? Better yet, can I manage to post a drabble/day for 24 days? Stick around and find out. Many thanks to my fantastic beta, savageseraph, and to makesmewannadie, who asked for 24 fic for her birthday, and then encouraged the bunny I was attempting to ignore.
7:00 AM - Main Line
By Galadriel
It felt strange, feet hitting pavement, grass, gravel, tracks. Strange turning away, running from not to; wrong, somehow, world dropping out underneath, falling through air. Felt remarkably right, too. Dangerously so. Like those first moments mainlining: warmth, flush, tug 'tween light and heavy, fall without end.
Drowsy morning light, sluggish slide across workers coming off/on shift, tripping over rails; yardmen deliberately dragging legs into line; promises to keep, driven towards sleep.
A moment's work of arms, hips; and Jack's inside, boxcar metal, cool, concrete against his back. For the first time in too much time, need necessitated biding time.
END
