Title: my heart in your hands Fandom: Bourne movies Spoilers: The Bourne Ultimatum, but set right before The Bourne Supremacy Summary: how could I forget you? you're the only person I know.
Just beautiful. This line? -- "Of herself, so desperate and alone she would give a stranger who drew back from police sirens like they were meant for him a ride." So perfect.
As you know, I LOVE THIS! I'm so glad you posted!! I love all of it but this section in particular:
That's the scary thing about love. She's always been careful with it, always edged around it (look at her grandmother, ending up all alone, look at the wreck of her parents) but Jason surprised her. She didn't know what to do with someone who knew only her. Who looked at her like she could save him. Like she had saved him.
She's always been able to travel light, but now, with him, it's even easier. All she has to carry is her heart and he watches over it so well. So carefully.
This was wonderful. I love how you capture the instant of possessiveness as being so natural, the instant her approach to his remembering changes. I never really thought about how much power Marie had in their relationship, but it's there in that one line: "You're the only person I know."
