Just have to look me in the eyes and I fall apart

I've been fighting forever to get this fic finished, and I think it is close to the best it will be.  Still a little rough, probably needs another clean up in the morning.  I just had to finish it though, to get some small sense of accomplishment that would lift my mood somewhat tonight.

This is a sequel to She's Going Out, the very merry unbirthday fic Kol did for me back in April.  This is a sort of Long December AU, in which Mara ran off to kill stuff and Deon was forced to stay behind, instead of vice-versa.  Kol and I imagined two possible endings to the fic she wrote, and this is one of them.  Believe it or not, this is the happy ending. 

Snow Patrol got me through the last push to finishing this fic.  I love this damn song. 
 

( please let me hold you til i know we are both through this )

 

So relieved to have this one done.
