I'm Here

Summary:

“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on.”

Tragedy strikes when Keith is murdered by the E-String Strangler. While Veronica crawls through the rubble of grief, Logan is there to help her rebuild. A LoVe story.

Notes:

Many thanks to CubbieGirl1723, who encouraged me to feed this little plot bunny until it was a fully grown rabbit. Without her support and beta skills this fic would be a grammatically incorrect paragraph.

This is my 7 Chapter response to LV AU Week.

Chapter Text

 

“I’m sorry,” Lamb mutters on his way out, and that— that bit of civility from the close, personal friend of the wizard— is what breaks her.

 Don Lamb is sorry.

 The words grow larger in her mind, taking up space, crowding out all other thought, seeping into the meticulously constructed compartments in her brain.

 The mechanical hum of the refrigerator underscores them.

 I’m sorry.

 Her tongue darts out, soothing broken skin, and the metallic tinge of blood mixed with vanilla chapstick flavors them.

 I’m sorry.

 Her chest constricts; her eyes lose focus. Her fingers go numb.

 “Veronica? Veronica? Come back to me.”

 Logan.

 Her head whips up, her eyes meet his.

 “Always.”

 

 

Notes:

STAGE ONE: SHOCK
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once.
