Title: tonight i'll burn the lyrics
Author: Sionnain
Fandom: Durham County
Pairing: Mike Sweeney/Pen Verrity
Rating: MA
Warnings: Gunplay, suicide. Darkfic, please be advised.
Spoilers Season 2 of Durham County, esp. the finale.
Word Count: 2050
Summary: . . . by showing mercy I have often been the loser. Even now I know that I am making a mistake.

AN: For the lovely akamine_chan, who is awesome because I told her I wrote her fic with the above warnings, and her response was gleeful twirling of my person via email. *giggles* ILU, Aka! *smishes* This is also written for the C6d_universe Mortal Sins challenge, specifically wrath and envy. Thanks to waltzforanight and inlovewithnight for the beta. Title from the Avett Brothers song Laundry Room, and the Summary/Pen's quote is from Euripedes' Medea (right before Jason realizes Medea has killed their children.) Incidentally, I really did read that article in graduate school that Pen references about suicide methods based on gender in classical drama, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

I CERTAINLY KNOW HOW TO BRING IN THE FUN.
