Title : Hope
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 15 Characters : Nick/Stephen
Disclaimer : Not mine no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for telperion_15  for the primeval_denial  challenge:drabble for these characters and the prompt dark. For the rest of the verse see here

Darkness visible.

Nick’s English teacher used to use that to illustrate an oxymoron, but if Nick ever got to meet the man again, which seemed unlikely given his current circumstances, he would happily put him right.

The darkness was so absolute he could feel it on his skin and practically taste it on his tongue.

Only one thing anchored him to reality. Stephen’s hand, holding his. Warm and alive.

They were not dead and they still clung to hope, however slender it might be.

Nick just wished he could stop the rest of that damned verse running through his head.

Oops! I'm a dork. I'm bad at reading headers aside from skimming them for hints of smut. ;-)

[fredbassett]

Thanks!

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

*meeps* That was fantastic, thank you!

The verse is very scary though, so I'm going to make up my own ending - it goes something like this...

...and then the soldiers turned up and rescued them.

The End *g*

[fredbassett]

I rather like the verse, even though it is a bit grim.

But that sounds like a good ending! Glad you liked it.
