But Not Your Death

Summary:

Pete makes Lucius' wooden finger.

Notes:

I wrote this as part of Our Flag Means Death Drabble Week! Each day had a tic-tac-toe board of words to include in a drabble 💙

This is for Day 5: wake-glide-tiny (with a slight allowance for tense on "wake")

And...my first Pete/Lucius!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Roach said Lucius would be okay when he woke up. Frenchie agreed, something about blood…demons?

So that was alright.

But Pete still felt oddly shaken, a queasy ache twisting in his stomach at the thought of Lucius almost— 

He needed to do something.


Pete's knife glides across the block of wood, a tiny sliver curling off to join the growing pile on the floor. He's whittling away rough edges, shaping something soft and delicate but still strong. One last careful check for splinters and it's finished.

A wooden finger.

He hopes it doesn't look too much like a thumb.

 

Notes:

Thanks for reading! ❤️
