Fics like they're singing happy birthday (i just wish it all were a dream)

“Maddie? What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Her head is spinning, thoughts flinging in a million directions. Tears blur her vision. Past them, fuzzy and faint, she can see the ceramic mug shattered on the ground— a scratch on her palm dripping red, red blood onto the tile as white as pure snow. Big Bear, running, the knife— cold metal piercing her skin before she can really process it; agony she’s suffered a million times and never before; a thought buried beneath the pain: this is what it must have felt like for Chimney before he died. Then the struggle— scrabbling for the knife in the snow— taking the life of the man who took hers — and stumbling, blind and bleeding, across an endless snowscape. Doug is dead. Doug is dead, she killed him, he’s dead, and Maddie Buckley is newly thirty-five years old heaving out sob after sob on the floor of her home, clinging to the sound of her brother calling out to her both now and in her memories.
