Throw my heart out
On the stones
And I'm almost gone.




She felt like water moving through shattered rock, pressing at the edges of broken boundaries that had once structured her life, her very existence. She felt wild, untamed, and would almost be afraid if it weren't for the feral tenacity running through her. She clenched her jaw as if she were still biting down on that bit of leather the automail mechanic had given her.

She could survive losing her arm. She could bear up under the shame of failure. She could damn well hold on when it felt as if all her hopes were being dashed against those jagged rocks. Darkness lived in him now; she would live in darkness.

Still. Writing is of the good, yes?

I do so much enjoy when you write Ling/Ran Fan. The FMA fandom needs more of it, in the caliber of your own writing. *thumbs up*

Would you think me greedy if I begged for more?

Heeey. This is good stuff! Clearly, I need to go find the other stuff you've written. :)

The whole metaphor is so beautiful and crushing. You carry it throughout very well. :)
