Don't you *love* it when I lie?

:) I do it so well, after all.

Thanks for the "welcome back" wishes - and for them, I have a New Year's pressie in return. I lopped this off the end of a short fic I'm writing for a friend; this ending no longer fit, but it was hard to let it go. So here it is: an end without a beginning.

Eeerie and shiveringly beautiful at the same time. The eating of the eyes, and the Labyrinth hiding it's citizens. /shudders

This was my favourite part; The Goblin King is content with his mate. When day breaks, he folds himself close to her, over her heart, to sleep with the thrum of her blood beneath his ear. If he is not yet drowsy, he braids his feathers into her dark hair, and strings the most delicate bones from his nest around her throat. I keep picturing this blurred creature, both man and owl at the same time, doting on a sleeping Sarah. /shudders again

*grins* I love it~

Very striking and atmospheric. You paint such a strong picture with this

<3 all the beautiful images here, and the storyteller voice.

With a bit of flipping around and some plot, this need not be just an end, but a full fledged tidbit.

Not everything needs to be a multi-chapter behemoth.

Love the imagery here, the muddling between human (er, as it were) and avian. I am so curious to know what originally led up to this.
