Thy Summer's Play, Part 1 of 10
"Little fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink and sing
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing."
 - William Blake "Little Fly"

Time Has Told Me by Lady Disdain 
<The_Lady_Disdain@mailcity.com>

"Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find its shore"
- Nick Drake "Time Has Told Me"

 I wanted to tell her so many things tonight but the 
words just didn't come. I wanted to tell her that I 
love her. That she has been saving me since the day I 
met her. The day before she first set foot in the 
basement I was seriously considering ending it all. 
Now I don't ever want to stop, I want to find the 
truth with her and only her. She's sacrificed so 
much, I told her that tonight and I know she will 
sacrifice more. I know my words can only begin to 
repair the wounds that have been inflicted on her but 
it is a start.

I shift a little in the bed because my arm is falling 
asleep under her. Immediately after taking it away my 
arm feels cold and almost lonely. So I wrap it back 
around. While doing so I get a glimpse of her pale 
beautiful face. Around her neck I can see the gold 
chain of her necklace, the necklace that I wore when 
she was gone for those months. I admire her faith 
although I do not understand it. I do not understand 
a religion based on the impossible, a child born to a 
virgin mother.

I look at the necklace and I realize that it rests 
exactly on the scare from her implant. I wince at the 
thought of all the pain that must have gone along 
with the scar. I can not begin to imagine the 
horrible terror she must have felt while they were 
doing their tests on her. I wasn't able to protect 
her then just as I wasn't able to protect Samantha so 
many years ago. I hold Scully a little tighter and as 
I do this I see there is a single perfect tear below 
her eye. I kiss the tear away and then settle in the 
bed with my arms around Scully. I let the darkness of 
the night carry me away.

"Your tears they tell me
There's really no way 
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'til there's no more to hide"
 - Nick Drake "Time Has Told Me"
