So – remember that bit of fic that I put up on New Year’s Eve? I’ve got the rest of the fic plotted out and about three chapters of it written, so this seemed like a good time to start posting (also I have surgery tomorrow that I’m nervous about and Cynthia is an enabler and I basically just want to hear everyone screaming wait -what? when they get to the end of the prologue.) I’ll post Chapter 1 as well tonight in all probability, but for now –

Summary: 

“It cannot be,” she murmurs again. “You died. They murdered you -”

“Miranda,” he croaks again, and then suddenly there are arms enfolding him, squeezing, wrapped around him so tightly as to almost deny him breath.

“You’re not dead,” Miranda nearly sobs. “My God – you’re not -” She pulls back, staring him full in the face.

“You’re alive.“
