I think I need to expand on this universe, but I don't really know how.
Title: Sigyn
Fandom: Yami no Matsuei
Pairing: Tsuzuki/Hisoka
Warnings: I am very rusty, so no promises to quality. Also, an obscure title that probably only makes sense to me.
Sometimes, Hisoka thinks about moving on. He's older now, maybe wiser, and the things that were vital to him at sixteen seem less important now.
Each day is more or less the same: balance the budget, attend meetings, keep order as best he can. The days slip into each other.
Today, he's reviewing Shimamura-san's ascension request. She's only been working in sector six for ten years, but she's had enough.
He knows where the paperwork is. He could fill one out himself.
His office door opens. "Hisoka? I brought bagels. Do you want any?" Tsuzuki stops when he sees the form in Hisoka's hand. Hisoka doesn't need empathy; he can read Tsuzuki's eyes.
Don't leave me.
Please stay.
Hisoka holds his hand out.
"Yes," is the only thing he can say.

And I *did* get the title, thanks to The Sandman, at it's a good analogy for Tsuzuki/Hisoka that raises some interesting ideas.
Heh, despite a passion for Norse mythology that I had in my early teens, it was indeed Sandman that gave me the idea for the title. The ficlet was just a vague idea until I thought of the scene with Loki and Sigyn beneath the world. Then I knew I had to write it.
It's a term some of us ascribe to what exact concept?
OR would be context more than concept the proper sense?
As a stand alone work you've done what some of us term not ficlet but " A snapshot of the mind's vision"
For you have taken a reader having ZERO referent to the
character's back stories- and made me have a flash of SEEING somewhat of a scene. That's a sincere compliment too.
That was sad. It was good; definitely a progression that I see as potential, but it was sad. Reminds me a little of For we are broken by
Sigyn is a Norse goddess, the wife of Loki. After Loki murdered Balder, another god, he was tied (with the entrails of his son) to three slabs of stone, and a poisonous snake was set above him, so that the venom would drip on to his face.
Rather than leave him, Sigyn stayed. She holds a bowl above his head to collect the snake's venom, but it eventually fills, and while she empties it the venom burns Loki's face and eyes.
That may have been more information than you needed, but it's hard to be sure what people do and don't know about Norse mythology.
(And I like your icon a lot. I like that song to the point of embarrassment.)
