Fics like in a place where we only say goodbye (it stung like a violent wind)

He was dead. He was fucking dead. Edgar stared at the limp form of Poe, his first constant companion, and felt nothing. Sure, he'd felt grief at first, then anger towards this beast that had caused Poe's death, and then finally, numbness. The numbness was worse than the grief. At least grief meant he was still in there somewhere. Poe's feathers were matted now, that glossy black dulled to something flat and wrong. Three years of that stupid bird stealing food off his plate and screaming at inconvenient hours and flying directly into the faces of people Edgar was trying to make a good impression on. Three years of Poe, no and Poe, stop and Poe, I swear to every god that's ever existed... And then, finally, recently, haltingly: Poe. Hey. Good boy. --- Or: Edgar realizes what he's missing, just barely too late.
