The fatal impact, by Shimere (Pt 1 and 2) - PG-13

Fandom: Drake's venture
Pairing: Thomas/Francis (reincarnation fic)
Author's lj: [livejournal.com profile] shimere277

Why this must be read: It's long and gorgeous. It's an AU, a reincarnation fic where Thomas and Francis are climbers - daring brave ones. Climbing the highest moutain of Himalaya, without oxygen don't scare them. They don't scare Frank because he's prepared, and quite experienced, and conscious of the risks - a professional. They don't scare Thomas because, like it is often the case in Shimere's fics, he doesn't give a fuck about dying, since he seems to be quite disturbed. But still very brave. It's a wonderful fic (get a coat and boots, it's so well written and vivid you'll think you're there). So they climb, it doesn't go that well, they nearly die, they yell at each other, and finally... Well, let's say they're still alive at the end.


Chogo Ri, or K2, “The Savage Mountain,” is the second highest in the world, but more dangerous than Everest by far, claiming the lives of one in four climbers.  They fall from mountain walls which are near to perpendicular.  They are crushed beneath avalanches.  They die of exposure, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism.  Frank had already made the trek three times, taking the “safe” route up the Abruzzi Spur twice, and once succeeding by the “suicidal” Magic Line route.  There were two others on the expedition who had previously ascended K2.  Frank knew the rest from various other climbs.
            Fallimenti introduced the leader to his new charge.  Frank was abrupt, reaching out his hand to the Kid in a perfunctory way before meeting his eyes.  Then he felt his stomach heave in the cold grip of inexplicable terror.
            Thomas bit his lip and smiled.  Frank wasn’t certain whether it was a shy smile or a sly smile.  Either way, he felt pinned to the wall of a crevasse by a strong north wind.




All you need is in this fic: a beautiful writing, a plot, sexual tension... so, read The fatal impact (the link to part two is at the end of part one. You would have guessed. You just have to click on it with your frozen little fingers.) When you're done, go read all her fics. You won't regret it.
