crack_van | Six Months by Blip (R)

Hi I'm

autobadgirl and I'll be doing the Alias Crack Van rec's for June. Expect a mix of different fics from authors you may not be as familiar with.

Fandom:ALIAS
Pairing: Will/Vaughn
Author on LJ: _blip_
Author Website: None
Why this must be read:

Because this fic is heartbreaking beautiful, astonishly well-written and literally took my breath away when I first read it. The prose is lovely and spare and poignant. Blip delves deep into the painful choices we may make when we grieve, regardless of the consequences...

Here's a sample:

"I feel like..." Vaughn makes a frustrated hand gesture and slurs. "I don’t know. Like I’m the double. Like...I’ve been grabbed up out of this life I had and stuck into someone else's. Someone surrounded by death. Like maybe I could just call for an extraction and it would be over and back to normal, but I can’t. You know what I mean, don’t you? That’s what it’s like for you too, isn’t it?"

Will feels guilty; looks around at his apartment with a kitchen window, and furniture bought on credit and wonders where the old Will went, the guy who was fine with losing everything, as long as he had his friends. But now he has no friends, not anymore. He doesn’t know what to say.
