Just Out of Reach
Title: Just Out of Reach
Author: thistlerose
Rating: all ages / G
Characters/Pairing: Moira McTaggert
Warnings: none
Challenge: hidden
Moira’s memories are still there, just hidden, tucked away out of reach. Sometimes, when she’s deeply asleep, she catches glimpses: flashes of insight, like the sudden sparkle of a diamond, or missiles exploding in chrysanthemum bursts against a brilliantly blue sky.
She’s tried therapists, on the CIA’s dime. She’s even tried some self-proclaimed psychics, without her bosses’ knowledge; her integrity’s under enough scrutiny. She wants her memories back, but it’s like trying to claw open a geode with her bare fingertips.
She wants to know what she’s lost, why she wakes up gasping for breath, her hands at her throat.
