When Streams are Ripe and Swelled With Rain [s/a]

[infinityuphigh]

Rating: PG-13
Pairing: John/Paul
Disclaimer: Fiction.
Summary: John sits in his hotel room, a cigarette resting delicately in his fingers. He smiles while he watches the smoke twist out of the open window, and it's when fondly he thinks, "There's no place like London", that Paul returns from a walk, disheveled and soaking from the rain.

This was beautifully written, I love the poetic use of "young in spirit and in body". Very beautiful imagery, it made my heart fluttered with every passing month in the story. <3

Beautifully written...starting with that April come she will (and yes, that song is terrific!) and ending somehow with September in the rain. Great story.

That was really beautiful. So simple somehow, yet so thoughtfully written. I loved the rain best.

"Maybe it's time to grow up."

Paul is soaked with rain again, and the scene in which he and John find themselves is eerily reminiscent of their days spent at the top of not just everybody else's world, but the world inside their own minds.

"You think so?" John flicks his cigarette out of the window and fixes his eyes carefully to the street below.

"Does it really matter what I think?" The streams on Paul's face could be either rainwater or something to John that is much more undesirable. He doesn't wipe it away this time, no matter how much he wants to, nor does he respond, repression being his desired course of action for the years to come(...)

"Jesus, Macca," John says hollowly, "I thought I told you to get an umbrella."

Beautiful and sad.
Bravo.

Amazing as always. Such a wonderful, thought provoking piece. Your writing is so poetic. I'm always enthralled by your stories from start to finish.

Oh my goodness... welcome back! There's nothing sweeter than when a great writer returns with an unexpected, delicious fic nugget. Marvelous imagery here. I always adore the symbolism of the passage of time in a fic. Very, very beautiful writing... and so bittersweet!
