Arm of the Starfish double-drabble

[lotesse]

Title: Tilt
Pairings: Adam/Joshua, Adam/Poly
Rating: PG-13


On one of those last nights--Adam can't remember which one it was and in his mind they all blend together in a haze of endless tiredness--Joshua had kissed him. His mouth had been firm, masculine, driving, joyous, and the feel of his body against his own had sent dizzy heat spiraling through Adam's body. After, Joshua had smiled at him. “Just like flying, isn't it?” The moment had ended and the world had swept them up again, but for that time Adam knew he'd escaped the grasp of time and gravity.

After the funeral Poly had come to him, away for a stolen second from the circle of her family. Her pale, freckled face had been drawn, grieving, stricken, aged, but her eyes were quiet. Without a word she had pressed her slim straight boyish body against him, bringing her soft, girlish mouth to bear against his own. It wasn't a lustful kiss, but all her actions were passionate and this was no different. When she pulled away the world swept him up again, going home to finish growing up, but he knew that he had found something true to guide him like an arrow through the rest of it.

Thanks! Most of my fic is here on my lj--I really need to memorify it--although I can't say for certain how much of it is slash. I've sort of stopped categorizing my fic that way. I like "slashy" stuff, but for me that has more to do with subversion, with twisting things around and finding new points of view. I also reallyreallylikewritinggirls, so lots of femmeslash and het.

Beautiful. I just finished reading Arm of the Starfish for the first time (literally just, I put the book down 5 minutes ago..) and that first scene so exactly something I'd been imagining. The "just like flying" line is very classically Josh. :) Have you written any more L'Engle fanfic?
