Drabble: And that has made all the difference - Hiro/Ando (Heroes)

[And that has made all the difference] - Hiro/Ando (if you squint, and I do.)
:: PG. drabble from [livejournal.com profile] glossing's first lines challenge

Proximity blurs the boundaries. Hiro's hand is on his chest and they're gone, spinning through time and space. They've become a single unit, everywhere and nowhere at once. Whenever and wherever they stop, be it five years in the future or at a bodega down the street, Ando shivers and steps back, searching for himself.

The world was different last month, last year, everything clear and dull before him and now his path is splitting into all the choices he doesn't know if he can make. Hiro reaches for him, and the roads, for better or worse, resolve into one.

I love love LOVE that this is what you've been writing today. Oh, GOD do I love that you wrote this. What a perfect use for that first line!

This just totally halted my world.

*love*

I love this--especially the way that metaphysical choices and emotional choices blend.

(That's one of my favorite opening lines. *g*)

-- and then you took it and wrought your magic on it, and WHY the hell does everyone talk about how cute Ando/Hiro is but deem them "unslashable"? This goes beyond slash and sexuality into friendship and identity, and I'm just *agog*.

thank you so much!

and. sigh. don't even get me started. if i was a ship_manifesto type person i would -totally- do one on them. i have less than polite reasons why i think people think they're unslashable.

*dead of Hiro/Ando metaphysical oneness*

I love Hiro. Who doesn't? I love even more that Hiro loves Ando. And now you make me believe that Ando loves Hiro, too.

*still dead of love*

You've done a wonderful job of capturing the act of time-travel itself; I can't imagine finding words to describe it so well. Nicely done!

thank you so much!

Dude. YES. I love your style in fic and this is, wow, definitely some of the best Hiro/Ando I've ever read. Even if it's just ~100 words. The description of time travel is just delicious.
