As The World Turns - Faith Snyder/Parker Munson
Fandom: As The World Turns
Pairing: Faith Snyder x Parker Munson
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: PG-13 just to be safe
Warning[s]: Some underage lovin', though I have aged them for the fic(they're 14 on the show, about 16 at the beginning of this and I picture them in their early-to-mid twenties by the end). Also, they're adoptive cousins(Faith's uncle is Parker's adoptive father) so it's not really incestuous but it could be icky to some. There's also a bit of J.J./Faith and they're adoptive cousins as well. In ATWT-land, it's hard to find two characters in the same age group who aren't related!
Notes: Well, this is (I think) the first Faith/Parker fanfic. I think they're adorable, and this is my first fic in a LONG time so I wanted to go with something where I wasn't freaking out about the characters being written absolutely IC. I wrote it in the order of the themes, so it's kind of one long story. Hope you enjoy!
Ring
For Christmas Uncle Jack and his family give her an opal ring, and Faith suddenly wants to be as far away from Snyder Farm and Parker Munson as she can get.
Hero
Faith has never had a hero, until Parker punches Brian Mulroney for calling her fat.
Memory
Parker's greatest memory is the first time he kissed Faith; His worst is the last time.
Box
The box Faith leaves at his mom's tells him it really is over.
Run
She started running to get in shape, now she runs to forget everything.
Hurricane
Faith gives Parker a small smile when he's the only one who stays behind to help clean in the aftermath of the party.
Wings
Sometimes, the way Parker looks at her makes Faith feel like she could fly, while other times she feels as if she can do nothing but fall.
Cold
Sitting across from Faith in Al's warms him more than anything Vienna and Henry could serve him.
Red
He thinks she's always looked good in red, but seeing her as maid of honor at Luke's wedding, he can't help but think she'd look better out of the dress.
Drink
The copious amounts of alcohol he's consumed almost gives him the courage to knock on the door he's stood in front of a dozen times.
Midnight
Midnight is the time in which she feels most alone, his place in her bed occasionally filled but never the place in her heart.
Temptation
The temptation to wring his brother's neck as he puts his arm around Faith nearly overwhelms Parker.
View
Standing on his balcony, he can't help but think the beauty of Paris can't compare with that of Oakdale.
Music
Taking a break from the Hubbard Squash carving, Parker hears Faith softly singing in the kitchen and he's certain it's the most beautiful sound he's ever heard.
Silk
Her skin feels like silk under his hands, and the feeling stays with him long after she leaves.
Cover
He imagines she's a blanket hog, but she always leaves before he can find out.
Promise
Looking at the diamond on her finger, she promises herself it will never happen again.
Dream
At night she dreams only of piercing blue eyes, and is startled when she wakes to warm brown ones.
Candle
When she knows he's working a dangerous case, she can't stop herself from lighting a candle and saying a prayer.
Talent
It seems she's inherited her Grandma Emma's cooking gene, and she often finds herself waist-deep in cupcake and cookie batter after she sees Parker with his new girlfriend.
Silence
He's sitting outside his mom's room, only feeling like he could possibly get through this when Faith falls into the seat next to his and takes his hand without a word.
Journey
As he gently places the box containing his mom's urn in the backseat, he's surprised when Faith appears with a suitcase, stating that there's no way he was going to Montana to do this alone.
Fire
The fire causes her ring to sparkle, which should tell Faith to push him away, but she only pulls him closer.
Strength
It takes all her strength to keep from collapsing on the bathroom floor when the second line appears.
Mask
She takes the congratulations from her family with a smile as J.J. squeezes her waist gently, her eyes frantically searching the room for the man she loves.
Ice
The look in Parker's eyes when she tells him about the DNA test makes Faith go cold.
Fall
The hospital pages her 911 and Faith races down the stairs, not seeing the spill on the step until it's too late.
Forgotten
Parker sees J.J. in the waiting room, so completely lost, and momentarily forgets his own pain.
Dance
Parker promises God that if he lets her wake up, he'll dance at her and J.J.'s wedding.
Body
The doctors tell them her body cannot sustain the pregnancy, and Parker feels a part of him break.
Sacred
He knows such a moment should be for J.J., but when she opens her eyes as he holds her hand, Parker could cry for joy.
Farewells
The funeral is held on the 23rd, and Faith knows she will forever hate the day.
World
When J.J. tells him the engagement is off, Parker would trade the world to take the hurt away from his brother.
Formal
When the break-up is finally announced to the family, Faith feels as if she can finally breathe.
Fever
She catches a fever from one of her patients, and suddenly finds herself occupying Parker's guest bedroom, his attempt at Carly's chicken soup sitting untouched on her nightstand.
Laugh
Her carefree laugh as she plays with Luke and Noah's son leads Parker down paths he has sworn he will never go again.
Lies
His heart breaks when she tells him she loves him, and he rejects her.
Forever
Too late, he realizes Faith is his Forever.
Overwhelmed
When she sees Parker with Alison Stewart, Faith suddenly feels as if she can't breathe.
Whisper
The sounds of the hospital become a whisper when she realizes the officer being rolled off of the ambulance is Parker.
Wait
The wait for her shift to be over so she can go to the ICU is nearly unbearable.
Talk
He tries to speak around the tube in his mouth, so Faith happily assures him there will be plently of time to talk later.
Search
Parker searches her eyes as she wheels him into her house, and he realizes fighting her on this is fruitless.
Hope
He's been at her house for three weeks when they slide by each other in the narrow kitchen, the contact filling Faith with the hope for something she had tried to forget.
Eclipse
She's shocked when he tells her he's never seen an eclipse, so she teaches him to make a pinhole camera with an excitment that reminds Parker just how much of a science geek Faith was in high school.
Gravity
The patch of ice on the Old Town sidewalk causes Parker to curse gravity, until Faith appears on top of him with a loud 'oof!'
Highway
Two weeks later she's gone, and an off-duty Officer Munson is going twenty miles over the speed limit as he races after her.
Unknown
She's never lived outside of Oakdale, but all she knows as she checks into the roadside motel is that she had to break free.
Lock
When she sees who's on the other side of the door, demanding to be let in, she twists the deadbolt out before she can think.
Breathe
When Parker wakes up beside Faith, he takes his first deep breath since he was sixteen.
