Fics like Hear It in the Silence

“Are you happy?” he asks her once, so quiet she almost doesn’t hear. It is more confession than question, a whispered exhalation into the skin of her hip. But Emma’s ear is attuned to that resonance now, and she catches it in the midst of every other sensation and holds it close to her and examines it. Is she happy? Of course she is. She is alive, and she has more than she ever thought she could have — certainly more than she could ever deserve — and he is here with her, when he might have chosen to keep himself alone.
