I have writing priorities. This isn't on them. At all. But it's a snippet anyway, so I thought I'd share. Sequel to "Mindmate Ahoy."


There's a ghost in the ship's mental space. It bumps into Kate's consciousness, and she shudders as if burned. Her thoughts shrink from it. It bounces away into the memory archive.

It's not Clint. She knows Clint and his self-deprecating, cocky confidence. She knows his way of getting stuck on a train of thought, his quick tactical thinking, the way he lives in the moment because the past has a way of swallowing him whole. The ghost is not Clint. Clint is missing, gone, and her entire being aches with the hole only he can fill.

Her body moves through the physical space of the old starship, Hawkeye, passing wood and metal struts and worn fixtures. Her mind moves through the computer system more quickly; it's a part of her. She finds her way to the kitchen without thinking and hears whining. A dog.

Hot tears blur her vision. She hurries through the kitchen to the door on the other side where Clint's old quarters are a complete mess, but there's Lucky curled up in Clint's bullseye hoodie on the floor, crying for his master.

Kate curls up beside him and wraps him in her arms. He's warmth and soft fur and wet tongue, and the sound that he makes echoes what's in her heart.

Well, you know I wouldn't mind either. XD But it offers itself more to Clint/Kate I think?

It'd just be more... intimate? The two of them, sharing a brain, instead of all three. XD

I have some... ;)

By the way, the Skye/Trip pregnancy scare fill is currently scratching at 2k. Hehe.
