“I didn’t turn you into a rat, David. You already were one.”

He whispers three words and, shutting down the part of her brain that’s whispering cold cold murderer cold she stomps him down and he doesn’t speak again.

But his final words still haunt her as she demorphs and crawls out of the sewers, a dirty beaten mess of a girl who isn’t sure why she isn’t happy that it’s over, even though he’s nothing but a traitor whose last words were I’m not sorry.

Woah. Powerful stuff here. Seems you had this pairing on the brain last night. ;) Shame the two of them never had much human/human screen time.

Love all the dialog!

=D

Someone mentioned David/Taylor on a crack!pairings thread on the animorphs comm, and there's part of me that would love to read it, part of me that realizes no one's writing it so if I want it to exist I have to make it, and another part of me that is very, very unsure about being able to be in that headspace that long.

Oh God. I don't think there is a possible crazier pair out there. I did read a fic with David/Taylor as minor characters once but it wasn't done that well.
