    Summary

    “Why don’t you lie down with me, Francis?”
    Francis’s eyes snap to James again. James’s eyes are closed, still, one hand lazily indicating the pillows next to him in an invitation that borders on—that borders on—
    “I won’t bite. Don’t have the teeth for it anymore, I’m afraid.” James smiles a half-smile, satisfied but close-mouthed, and Francis feels guilt like a hot spike driven into his guts. He laughs, weakly. James opens his eyes at the sound.
    Francis seeks refuge in the pipe.

    Francis. James. An opium den. They try to make the pieces fit.

    Summary

    The sun is shining in heaven, a glorious beam of hot white. He does not feel the need to blink but drinks it in hungrily; the sight of god's glory and passion. It would be sacrilegious to say he feels reborn, but at the same time to say otherwise would be a lie.

    He feels clean, truly properly clean, scrubbed with lye and salt and left out to bleach in the sun.

    Summary

    Here, though, frozen mid-toss and enveloped in ice, he is unable to find a moment’s steadiness.

    For the “holding hands” square on my Terror Bingo.

    (And retroactively gifting this to kingbooooo as a Fitzier exchange treat)
