OMG, this prompt is killing me with all the angst! (but I'm kinda an angst whore and totally love every minute of it) This was heart breaking and I loved Sulu's voice here-- even in the sadness, trauma, and grief he maintains that terse quality of his. No long poetic odes or sonnets of grief. I think that that aspect makes his grief and desperation that much more visceral. And this:
So I silence him. I kiss him. I make him laugh. I talk to him like nothing is wrong in the universe. I don't tell him Scotty died when a valve exploded on the turbines last month. I lie to him. I close the curtains around his bed and I pin him against the mattress and I make him moan under my tongue and fingers. I tell him everything's okay.

I had to wrap my arms around myself to keep from falling to pieces. So perfect. You've done an incredible job with this prompt.

Thank you! I'm glad you thought so and that you liked Sulu's voice.

This has brilliantly shattered my heart.

Er... sorry?

And thank you! ;)

So utterly heartbreaking! Beautiful little piece of fic. It's too darn bad each team can't have two winners for every prompt, because this surely deserves a ribbon of some kind.

[dana_norram]

Ah, thank you so much! I'm glad you thought so. :)
