[JCS] A Great and Terrible Price (1/3)
Apr. 3rd, 2013 12:37 amA little over a year ago, I started writing this monster. I moved fast and furious on it, spurred on by repeated visits to see JCS on Broadway. Then the show closed and I just... I didn't have the heart to finish it. Then a friend wrote an amazing JCS story and I got so wrapped up in her headcanon that I couldn't recapture my own... and didn't even want to try. Lately, however, I'd been poking at it, rereading bits here and there and when I turned to said friend to ask her what she'd pick for me to work on of all the WIPs I have going... this story came up. And I thought... "Huh. Why not?" And for the first time in a year, this story finally cooperated. O_O I'm not going to question it. I'm just going to be grateful. I am, however, editing as I go and I didn't get as far as I would have liked with the edits, but I got far enough to post a third, so this will probably go up in three parts. Enjoy?

Summary: It is a terrible thing, to know when you are a child the exact date and time and place you are to die. Only one thing is worse -- not knowing that the one you love will precede you into death. It is a fearful thing, to know that you are to die... and even unto that very morning of your death to not understand why. Only one thing is worse -- to know that the one you love preceded you into death due to your own actions... or lack thereof.
Judas is dead... and it is all my fault.
For that alone, I should be damned for all eternity.
