Time Cannot Erase
Ezra stood in front of the six graves. They hadn't died here but he'd moved them to this hillside overlooking a peaceful valley. They would have liked the view.
One hundred years ago, he'd agreed to help protect a Seminole village with six strangers. Images of the seven of them riding together remained fresh in his mind to this day. He'd thought it would last forever, but their time together had been too short when measured against the years of his Immortality.
He knelt to place a single forget-me-not on each of the graves.
As Ezra walked away, he wondered when it would stop hurting this much.

(so, any chance of Magnificent!Spawn in the future?)

Date: 2009-03-12 10:40 pm (UTC)That was one of the things I liked about Methos. He has been married many times, and jumped at a relationship with Alexa even after he knew she was terminally ill. Yet, he jumped right in. Kinda' like the idea of the Buddha choosing to go through reincarnation, even though he knows human life has suffering in it.
And why can I hear my Methos-muse laughing off the bar stool at that comparison?
Here... *hands Methos-muse a high end ale* shut up and stop laughing.
Anyway,... nice little ficlet.

Date: 2009-03-13 01:37 am (UTC)Perfect. Made me tear up at the thought of Ezra living while the others died.
*hugs you* because I want to.

Date: 2009-03-13 02:30 am (UTC)It's so hard to write/read death fics. Although I still have a strong urge to kill off Vin or one of the others in a story. Not Ezra though!

Date: 2009-03-13 04:50 am (UTC)It is hard to write death fics - i agree. I make myself cry and then the keyboard gets soggy and it's just down hill from there *snickers*
