Lost Fic: now you know (Miles/Richard)

Title: now you know
Pairing: Richard/Miles
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Summary: Jacob always leaves a mark. Post-series.
A/N: Written for lost_in_108 challenge #61 “mark”.

They sit side by side on a beach that isn’t their beach, staring at an ocean that no longer looks like a prison.

“Were you there?”

Richard is a liar. (No. No. No.)

But he can not lie to him.

“Yes.”

Anger flickers across Miles’s face and Richard wonders if this is how he loses him. But as always, Miles is full of surprises. He laughs without bitterness.

“I guess it doesn’t matter anymore, does it? At least now I know why I’m a freak.”

“Is that enough?”

Miles leans back in the sand, closes his eyes.

“Yeah. Maybe.”

( No. No. No.)

Miles is a liar too.

Oh these boyyyyyys! I love the format here, the repetition and the italics. So cool and very powerful. Love the last few lines especially.

:(( I hope they get to be happy after this.

(In my head, they retreat off to have sex in a bungalow somewhere, so it's all good.) ;)

This is brilliant, because I never thought of Jacob touching Miles, but now that you have it's blindingly obvious.

This is beautiful; I love how it showcases their similarities and differences. It's also kinda sweet. In a weird, "Jacob was here" kinda way.

I don't even know what I'm saying. You're awesome.

Thank you so much!

(And this: In a weird, "Jacob was here" kinda way. is the best comment ever. Oh, Jacob. He just couldn't keep his hands to himself. Which is actually a good thing because he gave us an awesome ship.) :D

Oh man, this drabble! What a phenomenal idea; I hadn't even considered it before but this is so cool. I love that his gift came from being "branded" by Jacob and that Richard knew. So fantastic.

Aw, thank you so much! Jacob giving Miles his "gift" is totally my personal canon. I'm 99% convinced that that's how it happened. :D
