This one is for mingsmommy and smacky30, who are both darlings. Happy holidays, ladies.

Prompt: candles



Normally he avoided churches; too much guilt, too much time passed. But it was Gaudete Sunday, and for once David had something to rejoice in.

The interior of the little church was familiar; dim, quiet, smelling of incense and hot wax. It seemed empty, and he slipped into one of the side chapels, looking up to the patient, loving face above the flickering candles.

The coin slipped into the box with scarcely a clink. The wick flared to life, and he set it in its socket, and sighed, the precious image of Emily hovering before him.

“Thank you,” he whispered.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm so excited! If you do Prentiss/Rossi so well without even watching I can't imagine what you'd do if you saw the show. Of course, I'd be willing to help purchse S3&4 for you. :D

Thanks for sharing this.

You do realize that on actually watching the show I may decide to ship someone else entirely, right? ;) Glad you liked it!

If you suffered thru 6+ years of GSR angst there's no way you'd ship anybody but these two. I have faith. :D

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!! Oh, VR!

Yes, yes, yes!

Lovely. There is such a peaceful feel to this, a softness.

Thank you so much for writing it and sharing your talent with us.

And, I'm TOTALLY with smacky30 on the S3 & S4 offer.

Thank you! I'm not Catholic, but I do like the little candle-lighting ritual.
