He Wears Her Bruises Like Jewelry

600 Words... I saw there was a 'bruises' prompt and it wandered into this. Hope it's okay.

This is so good. Perfectly balanced, taut, and packing a serious kick.

He’d been an endless font. He was a crutch but now he’s a vice.

Oh, the thingness of him, in her mind. But even she can't keep ignoring that he's a man, now she is finally able to see him. A masochistic man, maybe, but one that shaves everyday, like any other.

It's touching and sad.

Thank you darling. I adore your "Oh the thingness of him"! That is what I was trying for. *glee*

I was musing on "Older and Far Away" and the missingest missing scene in all of spuffydom... for me, anyway. This isn't it. Some day I'll capture it.

That was staggeringly good.

"He wears her bruises like jewelry."

"He pushes into the pain. He always has."

Wonderful. :D

[hello_spikey]

"Staggeringly good" I blush! I blush!

But okay yeah... I really liked that line, too. That's why I named the piece that. hee hee.

Oh wonderfully painful this is. "Every day, life hurts a little less, and hurting him hurts a little more."

[hello_spikey]

Thank you, darling! I was going for painful. :)

Oh, amazing. :Lost for words:

So glad to see you posting, and this is just wonderful.

[hello_spikey]

Thank you darling. I was kicking ideas around in my head, thoughts circling our favorite vampire, when I saw the comm was closing and I /had/ to post. Right?

I have a sorta-massive spuffy fic on my hard drive that just needs an ending... or a chapter or three... but I'm hoping to post that too, before Xmas. *mwah*

I've missed you and you've made me cry.

"Every day, life hurts a little less, and hurting him hurts a little more."

Sob.

*hands you a hanky*

Sorry, dear. I was in a tear-inducing mood.
