omgwtfbuffeh! for 15minuteficlets


and she's gone

he knows the moment it happens, knows it for sure, the rich scent of her on the air around him turning to dust and ash. he knows it even before the world changes, before everything goes oily and dark with the strength of willow's grieving. though he is far away he thinks for a moment that he could stop her, that he could calm the witch as he tamed the wolf.

but it is only for a moment.

the shadows spin and make him dizzy, and he curls in on himself, waiting to see the fate of the world. he is not ready to fight for a world without her in it. he keeps the wolf close.

when the sun rises again, he does not know how long it has been. he is stiff with nightmares. he stretches, warm in the morning light, and sings her farewell.

Perfection. All of it, but particularly that image.

i feel as though that's an image i've used before, but it's just so -oz- for me that i can't let it go.

thank you so much!
