Sneaking in the Back Door of the Fuck or Die Challenge by One Traveller
...since Speranza hasn't called this one yet. Around 300 words of untitled pre-slash, not to be taken too seriously. Written in a hurry and given a quick read through by hydrostatic_testsubject (who's only seen as many episodes of dS as I have.)
"...I was out on patrol when I saw the ship crash..."
Benton's back arched as the fire ran through his veins, pricking sharply at his nerves, making his muscles jerk and contract. Then it crested, leaving him weak and limp. What was his father going on about now? How could he just stand there, rattling on about some nonsense when Benton was burning?
"....the only survivor. I took him back to the cabin, where your mother and I tended..."
He should have gotten help, seen a doctor earlier. But he'd hardly been sick a day in his life, and he hadn't felt sick then. A bit irritable, perhaps. Shorter of temper. But he'd felt strong.
"....his wounds healed quickly..."
"....could tell something else was wrong..."
Whatever it was, had he let it go too long? He felt so weak now, and he needed...
"....can't believe I agreed to it, but we couldn't just let him die. Not when your mother could help him..."
He needed....
"....to take him home before we knew you were on the way. Thankfully you're more like us than like them.Though you do have his hair. And his musical ability. And I swear sometimes, the way your mind works..."
"...can hear things and seem to know what that damn wolf is thinking...."
Yes...yes...he needed. If he could just get what he needed, that would save him.
"....grandparents and I kept an eye out for signs, but you always seemed a bit oblivious to women. Well, mostly. Your irrational passion for..."
"...you see, son? You've got to find a woman. Or you'll die. That Meg Thatcher, she's a mountie, at least..."
Thatcher? No, she wasn't what he needed.
"....Ray...."
The End
"When I first came to Chicago, I felt as though I were from another planet."
"Which you are."
"Which I have come to accept."

(Yeah right, like I could make links to this stuff. I had to look up how to make cut tags:)
