Fics like the awful edges

Herbert has small hands that are thick palmed with fingers that spindle out in three directions. Most of Dan’s fourth year in medical school has been spent watching those hands put organs back in bodies, covered with viscera and latex. He sometimes thinks about how those hands touched Meg and how his own hands touched her: that maybe some wisp of her tissue is still clinging to the ridges of his fingerprints. Right now Herbert’s hands are clean although his fingernails are bitten down and jagged. Dan notices these things. “You are always in my bed Dan,” Herbert says to his hands, “and yet you never try to kiss me. Why do you think that is?”
