That night Arthur had pulled Eames to him, and they came together in a crash, pulling at each other, gasping for air, Eames pushing into him and holding him close tightly, so tightly, so that there wasn’t an inch of space between them, burying his face in Arthur’s shoulder, biting at him, as though he wanted to leave a brand. It was fierce and desperate until suddenly, somewhere in the midst of things, the pace became slower, his thrusts became languid and slow and he lifted his head, bushing his lips across Arthur’s slowly, back and forth. Arthur had clung to him and they moved together, breathing the same air, their hearts slowing to beat at the same tempo and Arthur thought he felt himself breaking apart. He came with a gasp, and Eames followed closely after, looking down at him the whole time, and when they finished, Eames stayed on top of Arthur, his face buried in his neck, and Arthur slowly stroked his hands down his back, over and over again, until they both fell asleep ( ... )

Eames had seemed bound and determined to remain cheerful, and Arthur wouldn’t take that away from him, merely hugged him close, his hands twisting in the fabric of his jacket, breathing deeply to pull as much Eames into him as he could. Eames made a humming, soothing noise in the back of his throat, and pulled back enough to kiss him, gawking bystanders be damned, and they stood there for what felt like forever, and was not long enough, trying to cling to the taste of each other, the feeling of each other, and of their hearts beating as one. The trains whistled and Eames pulled back reluctantly. He kept Arthur close and said in his ear ( ... )

I love this but it keeps breaking my heart.

AN: Hopefully people are still enjoying this and I haven't driven you away with my flowery descriptions and all the angst lol...We're very close to the end after this part, and I promise things will get brighter...but right now they are going to get a little more dark. Sorry ( ... )

It shouldn’t have happened. Yes, taking into account the laws of probability, if a man walks the same route to work, at the same time, every day, eventually, one day, something will happen that will interrupt this routine. But these things don’t happen to Arthur. The routine is sacred. It keeps him sane. And so when he is crossing the street at the light, the bank in front of him, sun in his eyes, at the same time he does every day, and Mr. Henderson’s brand new Cadillac 61 barrels through the red light and collides with his body, his first inane thought is ( ... )

Arthur spends an entire year in the hospital. It might have been less, but with no one at home to take care of him, the doctor’s decide that it might be best for him to rehabilitate under their watchful eye. He has broken his leg. His hip is shattered. If he’s lucky, he may walk again. He will not be going to war ( ... )

Re: FILL: 5c/? sneaqui May 4 2011, 23:33:32 UTC

Okay. This:

When he is crossing the street at the light, the bank in front of him, sun in his eyes, at the same time he does every day, and Mr. Henderson’s brand new Cadillac 61 barrels through the red light and collides with his body, his first inane thought is,
“Wait, this isn’t part of the routine.”
His second inane thought is,
“I’ll never run track again.”
And then,
“There’s blood on my pants.”
And then,
“Eames will be so mad.”

= Utterly brilliant

Oh, and this: ‘Now they’ll know.’ He thinks. Now they’ll understand the hollow, gaping feeling of loss, of empty chairs at the table, and empty beds. Of the oppressive silence, and constant, unrelenting fear that these things might be forever. Now they’ll know.

Ohmygod. It just feels so... true.

I LOVE the way you steer clear of historical fiction tropes in this. I get a perfect sense of time and place, but the action is real and immediate. These are real people not historical caricatures. And you're not looking at the time period through rose-colored lenses.

Amazing.

thank you THANK YOU!!! I'm really glad for your last comment--especially as someone pointed out (below) that there are some historical inaccuracies, but as much as I tried to get the timeline right, and not include anything obviously out of place, I was trying to write more about the emotional feeling of people living in a time of war as opposed to the technical aspects of living in the 1930's/40's...but I didn't want it to feel modern or anything...and I had no idea that I had succeeded in that until THIS MOMENT--so thank you!!!

Author here! anonymous May 7 2011, 18:53:34 UTC

Oh no!! Your heart!! The end is coming soon--just a little more heartbreak first (muahahaha)
