Heya people. I know I have the alphadrabble thing on the go (which is coming, I swear!!) but this is something I posted to Fanfiction.net a long time ago and I thought you would sort of appreciate it.
It was written after episode two, which you may remember as the time Mitchell and Annie kissed (evil BBC, making the fangirls cry like that,) and my horror at the hint that a Mitchell/Annie relationship might start and I would have to stop shipping G/M because I can't hate Annie, even if she were to steal Mitchell.
So,
Title: It Makes Sense
Pairing: Mitchell/Annie, past and now unrequited George/Mitchell
It makes sense for her to be with him. They’re both in indefinite existences, stuck in the same body day in day out, never changing until the day comes that they just poof out of existence. I change. And not just in the monthly way. I still grow. I’m going to get older. At some point I’ll start wrinkling, getting grey hairs. I can scar.
It makes sense for them to want to be in this state of limbo together. Never changing.
It makes sense for people to want to be around people who can understand them. That’s why me and Mitchell became so close. But Annie can understand Mitchell more than me. Maybe not quite yet, but she will. Mitchell’s been around since world war one, she’s only been around since last February. Well, she’s only been like this since last February. But they have indefinite years to understand each other.
I have a human lifespan. Probably less than that, what with the monthly organ failure. I could never understand Mitchell’s fear of forever, and by the time he met me, he was beginning to forget the fear of old age (or the fear of dying young and sick). But the other-ness of us both, and the fact that we got on, was enough. It had to be.
It doesn’t have to be any more.
It makes sense for her to be with him.
It makes sense.
