and then springtime called my name.

Re-Animator.
West. A new variety of gardening and an impossible ménage à trois.

Just a drabble that's been rattling around for far too long. It's West/Dan/Meg. Sort of. (Jeffrey Combs, I love you just a little too much.)



Death springs back to life, cultivated and refined beneath his fingertips. Tendons are roots, weeding and stretching and reaching and gasping towards him, and he smiles, a nasty curl of the lips, tapping sinewy tendrils back into place with the care and expertise of a gardener arranging stray buds.

Meg's heart pulses surely under his hand. Perfect. Preserved. She'll breathe with new lungs, gaze at the world through clearer eyes; become far more understanding than she ever was in her first life. Indebted to them both, but more, certainly, to him.

They'd have been beautiful together, the three of them.
