    Summary

    The second of the "Poe-logues", or the accompanying works to go with my Thoughts of Hollow Men series. This one is for Jim Moriarty, and it is inspired by and references Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The City in the Sea". Make sure you read that fic before you read the Poe-logues. As always, here there be spoilers.

     

    "Sebastian Moran will ask him while smoking a cigarette, “Just what is it that you want, Mr Moriarty?” And he doesn’t know. He truly does not care what the dividends are; wealth, real estate, power, sex, infamy—he has all of those, and feels nothing still. There is no fulfilment in those things. And yes, it’s true, he does enjoy the finer parts of life, crushing bones, hearts, minds, but he doesn’t want anything that he can name."
