            It isn’t just blood that binds them. Time, too, and gunpowder. Salt and leather, a road that never ends and memories that hover behind them, around them, in them. Fire. Bone, grit, vomit, and a deep, abiding ache.

            But not just blood. Even from the beginning, it wasn’t just blood.

            They were woven together intricately, with thread so fine as to be invisible. It linked them from across a continent, through time and mist. The thread is in their muscle and tissue, in their hearts and souls—and can never be unwoven. 

            The road they walk is hard, full of thorns and detours, full of pain and fear—but they do not walk alone. Never alone. 

            It watches them, traces their steps in sulfur and flame, and waits. They will come to It one day, unable to stay away. They will come together, aching and frightened, seeking answers. And It will give them answers to questions they have not even thought to ask. It will make them Its, in both body and soul—

            The day of reckoning, of fruition—of fire and blood and death. So gorgeous that day will be, when all Its plans unfold, the strands finally entwined.

I love this. I had to read it when you mentioned "Trip Around The Sun" because I love that song, and I'm glad I did. It's small but it packs a big punch. It's beautifully worded, and although it is dark it shows that their relationship and strength together is the light that will keep them going until the end. Excellent job :-D
