drabble: broken binding. bonden/mowett

[broken binding] - bonden/mowett for insidian
playing fast and loose with canon here, but hopefully that's forgivable. last non-birthday request, i think. yay! i'm going to back away from the computer now.

They've served together for so many years that they can deal with anything, from the routine tasks to the rush of battle to retrieving intoxicated Surprises from shore depravity.

Jack cannot imagine running the ship without them, holding the world fast, a tracery of wordless bonds. Everything else is caught up in language, tutoring and poetry; there is something special in their silent synchronicity.

Levels of alliance shift with the winds, others are torn unwillingly asunder. Mowett sees how Bonden changes when the Doctor's around, and the twist in his belly he'll never be able to untie with mere words.

Oh! Oh YAY!

First, I lovelovelove how you implied their relationship instead of out and out saying anything. Very like the books. ;)

Dude. So true of so many relationships in PO'B, but this is just beautifully and eloquently put.

*dies dead away* I love what this implies about their relationship, and how Mowett deals with things verbally. This was a bitch of a pairing to give you, and you've delivered a lovely jewel.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Mowett is Sid's literary boyfriend - I wouldn't want to interfere with that. :)
