Yami no Matsuei: Rewritten on the Body

Title: Rewritten on the Body
Fandom: Yami no Matsuei
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: So pretty I think about stealing them all the time. But no, not mine.
Summary: No challenge, and yet a drabble.



He keeps trying to copy it to paper: the curse written on his body, the red ribbons that bind pain to skin and soul to soul. Lines twist away from him; pens blot, brushes smear, pencil points break. It would be sensible to let someone else try, but facing the mirror is hard enough.

In the dark, Tsuzuki's gentle fingers trace new ideograms on his skin, rewriting curses into blessings. Fuda for protection, fuda for transformation, fuda for bringing the weary peace and the lost home. Hisoka never knew, never knew before, how much the paper must love the pen.

Oh. God. So beautiful. Such pretty language, and I adore your Hisoka.
