Summary
It’s like this: sometimes, the story ends the wrong way because you’re fighting so hard to change it. It’s like this: Harry knows, in every piece of himself, that he shouldn’t have stolen Louis’ armor, that he shouldn’t be on this field with Hector. It’s like this: the way that Louis smiles at him across their darkened tent, the points of his canine teeth in the meat of Harry’s inner thigh, the sunlight behind Louis’ head as he bends down to kiss Harry before he goes to talk to the war council. It’s like this: they are lucky to be born as two pieces of a whole. It’s like this: Harry is so tired of running. It’s like this: the sun’s glare scorches his eyes.
