karanguni: (RUFUS looks)
I need to stop writing now or I am going to kill myself.

Title: Cream and Bastards
Characters: Tseng, Zack
Rating: PG-13 (swearing)
Summary: Tseng and Zack talk; about what they've done, and who they've done.

2768 words. Almost, but not quite, slash.

And it was only the remaining cream and bastards who rose to the top. Tseng was more than a little of both. )

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
