Why this must be read: Because as soon as I finished reading it, the only thing I could say or think was "Oh my God..."
This story ranks as one of my favorite pieces of fanfiction in any fanom ever. Period. The style is lose and informal, the Matt POV is so real that I was looking around to see him talk, and the imagery and details are just perfect.
Also, this is a slightly different imagining of what might have happened between Matt and Mello. And it's amazing and feels more real than any other Matt/Mello story I've ever read.
Author's Summary: The ballad of Matt and Mello, or something.
The thing is. Okay, this sounds dumb, but the thing is, they could die any day. Not that that isn’t true all the time, but it’s different now. It’s not like getting up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning and getting hit by a bus because you weren’t looking. It’s not even like the time he pushed Mello into the pond when they were kids and Mello nearly drowned (how was he supposed to know Mello couldn’t swim?). He doesn’t think about it a lot, but every once in a while he’ll be reminded that they’re going after the guy who took L out. Fucking L. Game over. If that’s not something to make you piss your pants at night, he doesn’t know what is.
Now, Matt’s not really a seize-the-day kind of guy. More like a sit-on-your-ass-and-wave-to-the-day-in-passing kind of guy. But there comes a point where you can’t do that anymore, because something comes up that you can’t help reaching out and grabbing, even if you don’t really understand why.
