For [livejournal.com profile] mackzazzle: Neverwhere, pale skin, 100 words.


So long underground.

The Marquis’ fingers against pale skin a greater contrast than six months ago. Maybe because then it was reluctantly clasped hands and now it’s dark fingers against a chest that never sees the light because it’s always cold.

Body heat. That’s why he presses so close. Breath isn’t visible if it doesn’t hit the air, gasping into someone else’s mouth, heat in front, cold wall behind, making it imperative that no more clothes are shed than necessary. He’s not sure how he’s going to explain it to himself when it’s summer. Because he can’t let it end.

I still haven't read Neverwhere, but I think you just made sure that it'll be next on my list. Oh my.

*steeples fingers*

Eeeeeeexcellent. The Marquis de Carabas is one of the best characters ever. Seriously. He rivals Crowley in cool.

Next summer it all might be different. The Floating Market in June may find them splayed like summer blossoms, open to the night air like jasmine.

The Marquis plants his need in the winter pale flesh of his beloved. He burrows tenderly into him and leaves his seed. Over a long dark spring burgeoning with life, dark and ice cold, all will suddenly burst out into merry warmth and light.

Such is the way love grows or so the Marquis tends his seedlings with all hope and anxiety. Carabas uses his cunning to keep close to him. That is all.

I liked your drabble very much - if that wasn't implicit in my continuation. :D

*scratches back of head* For a minute there I thought this was a 'Quills' fic, (if anyone's watched the film...). Could pass either way I guess *shrugs*
