Dreams in the Eye of Your Storm (RED Medic/RED Sniper - pre-slash, PG-13)
Pairing: RED Medic/RED Sniper, pre-slash
Word count: 4,209
Summary: ‘A shiver of delight jolts his spine and he sprints faster, heat surging an unerring path through his skin and muscles. He realizes now that he’s garbed in only threadbare khakis, that he is barefoot, that the sand and the sun don’t scorch him. Everything feels surreal, hyper-vivid. He can hear the rush of blood through his ears, his veins, his heart. He feels every grain of sand that touches the soles of his feet. He feels the cooling breeze that caresses him from head to toe, the graze of grey-brown feathers along his arm and flank.’
Rating: PG-13

Author’s notes: Here’s the eighth commissioned story for my Fanfiction Fundraiser, courtesy of janetmadjesters1! It’s also the first story for the fundraiser that isn’t NSFW. *gasp* And my first Medic/Sniper story, with touches on Sniper’s background and Sniper hurt/comfort too! I wish there was more fan material of them. I certainly like this pairing more after writing this, haha.
The soundtrack I listened to while writing this is Kalimba Solo for Lotus, by Youtube user, SaReGaMa. The song always makes me think of running across boundless deserts at noon and soaring into the sky.
_______________________________________________________
In the haven of his camper van, Sniper dreams of running across sweltering desert sand. A vast blue sky extends above him into infinity. A massive, soft-feathered bird runs beside him. It’s an emu, its clawed, three-toed feet pounding clouds of sand behind them, its vestigial wings flapping in the air. Its strides are wide, at least nine feet, and although he knows that this isn’t real, he wonders how he’s able to keep up with the emu and what it’s doing here in the desert. Emus prefer the forests and savanna woodlands, they do.
Perhaps this one’s lost. Perhaps it’s looking for its partner. Perhaps it’s already found its other half.
