                  If love is shelter, I’m going to walk in the rain. –Anonymous

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She stepped outside and felt the cool air refresh her skin; it danced its way across her face like a feather blown away by the sweetest breeze. The clouds were grey and heavy in the skies as she made her way toward him, the asphalt coarse and rough on the softness of her bare feet. She didn't care. She didn't care if her long dress started to swirl higher, following the rhythm of the elements menacingly rising in a low rumble. The light fabric was already being swept away, revealing her naked legs. Yet she couldn't take her eyes off him. He stood here, his face a mix of tenderness and apprehension. What he feared, she didn't know; all she knew was that they were finally standing in front of each other.

 

She was here. A heady sight he could barely start to process. A sight his eyes had feared he would never see again. After a beat, his hands dared to touch her shoulders, the exposed pearl of her pale skin like velvet beneath his fingertips. He felt a shiver vibrate under his caress, as the first drops started to fall from above. Gathering her close to him – and close to his heart - he let the rain wash over them, taking away the pain, the lies and the hurt that had come to stand between them. The storm unleashing the rain above left their faces wet with tears – and hope renewed under a black sky.

 

And here they stood; the rain enveloping them like a transparent sheet whispering promises in their ears.

I have the three first seasons on DVD, still waiting for the fourth to come to Sweden! *g*

I loved the first three seasons as well. It's such a great show. All the girls are so different, it's just awesome because they really have different personalities.

Heh, Shane is pretty cool, indeed. :D

she's alive. he's alive. a reunion.

"What he feared, she didn't know; all she knew was that they were finally standing in front of each other."

I will die happy :)

Oh, please don't die. lol.

Thanks, Daphnée, I'm glad you liked this little piece.
Sarah: Michael & Sara - soulmates[info]sierra_foxx on May 27th, 2008 07:39 am (UTC)
Wonderful stuff, Maureen. *g*

You have some really gorgeous imagery here, and it works very well in this short piece.

Just the *thought* of Michael and Sara sharing this moment together in the rain is incredibly emotive and you have captured it perfectly here. :)

Just beautiful. *g*
You'll remember me when the west wind moves: Soulmates2[info]poisonshades on May 27th, 2008 07:50 am (UTC)
Thank you, Sarah. :)

I really wanted to write something for this challenge.

And well, from time to time, I happen to write a few pieces that are not totally depressing, or that don't include tortured characters. *g*

I even surprise myself when I come up with stuff like that. lol.

I really enjoyed writing this and I'm glad you liked it.

*hugs her super-beta*

Love the start, love the middle, and love the end. I love the atmosphere you've created; I simply just love this piece. It seems more than just a creative piece of writing; the imagery is realistic and makes it feel so real.
Gorgeous!
Prison Break is starting to feel more than just Fandom recently.

I'm glad you liked the atmosphere of this short piece. I tend to use a lot of imagery, it's something I really love; so it's nice to hear it worked here. :)

This was wonderful. I loved how you used the rain, perfect. Oh and I loved this part:

After a beat, his hands dared to touch her shoulders, the exposed pearl of her pale skin like velvet beneath his fingertips.

That was a perfect description, if I ever saw one.

I liked it. *g*

That's a beautiful image right there.

Short and sweet yet very powerful. Simply lovely.

Thanks, girl!

So glad to hear you liked this one-shot. I really enjoyed writing it.

By the way, I've been meaning to ask you: what's your name? :)

Oh, and that's a lovely icon you have here.
misa_is_love: Fangasmic Four[info]misa_is_love on May 27th, 2008 07:04 pm (UTC)
It's Katie ;) and you? I've got to remember to actually put my name in my profile LOL.

And I love this icon too! It's so true...

You'll remember me when the west wind moves: Went/Sarah Fox[info]poisonshades on May 27th, 2008 07:10 pm (UTC)
Hi Katie :)

I love this so much, I don't think my words can do justice to it but rain is a cliche for a reason. Whether in literature or still paintings or movies it has an ability to move people. And you moved me with this. I want to draw her in her dress, being all windswept. *ponders*
You'll remember me when the west wind moves: Went Israel Prayer[info]poisonshades on June 22nd, 2008 05:38 pm (UTC)
Hi dear.

You have no idea how I feel after reading this wonderful comment of yours. Thank you so much, I'm delighted you liked this short piece. Rain is something very intense, isn't it?

I would love it if you drew her. No pressure, of course. :)

I am touched by your words. Thanks. *hugs*
