I can finally share this! It's complete! This is half of what I worked on for NaNo this year and is my contribution to the Angelic Big Bang.
Title: Consumed by Fire
Author:

imaginary_roseFandom/Original: Original
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Patrice/Malachi, Tianne, Melissa, Mason, Ares, the MacCreedy
Warnings: none
Word Count: ~21000
Notes: This idea is based on the idea that there are FIVE elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water AND Power. Some cultures believe that angelic power is just as much an element as the other four.
Glossary:
Kosh = Earth council
Wuzh = Air Council
Yaag = Fire Council
Pana = Water Council
(These words are loosely based on the corresponding Romany words. A "council" is intended to mean "a group of beings that have something in common".)
Summary: There are things in this world that can not be believed but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Patrice never believed in angels but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Or that one has come to Allen Street at a time when she needed him most. The problem is that she doesn't trust him. Without trust, they can't really hope for any sort of relationship and that could be a problem.
