Fanfic: Clinging Cures by Molly
May. 17th, 2011 02:43 pmSummary: Rogue and Scott learn to let go.
"What do you see?" she asked Scott at breakfast a few days later. He'd taken to sitting by her in the past year or so; he'd taken to giving her gentle looks and glimpsing touches that made her wonder if his fingertips were soft.
He shrugged. "A strawberry, with a toothpick stuck in it."
She pulled the toothpick out. "And now?"
"A strawberry."
"Exactly," she said, and ate the bit of fruit decisively.
A lovely story about how people grow apart and grow together, and about the passage of time and what Rogue and Scott's mutations mean to them. There's a great sense of atmosphere in this.
