Maelstrom and Mage, Ashmael/Vaysh, Post 10: The End

This is when I wish I were writing an AU fic. This is the final post; you knew it was coming, and here's my take on how this pivotal event may have occurred. I just keep reminding myself that this is all Storm's plot, her 'cruelty', but living it through Ashmael is quite painful indeed. Continued from post 9,
here.

Title: Maelstrom and Mage, Desire Thine Darkling
This post rating: adult
Warnings: rooning, Angst with a capital A, character death
Word Count: 5,775
Disclaimer: Ashmael, Vaysh, and the harish world all belong to Storm Constantine; I'm merely playing with great abandon in her sandbox.
Pairings: Vaysh/Ashmael

Summary: Genesis. Paradise. Illumination. Exodus. Before they went to Immanion, before Thiede manipulated their destiny, before death and despair, Ashmael and Vaysh knew and loved each other. This is one way their story may have been told.

For those who have been reading this, thank you for your companionship in my first foray into Wraeththu fanfiction. A sequel will be starting up soon from Vaysh's POV. I've also put together a 'soundtrack' for Maelstrom and Mage which I should have uploaded for your listening pleasure later this weekend.
