Fics like past tense; in memoriam

“How far did he get?” “Almost touched the fence,” Carl says. “He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired. “Past tense already?” Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now. (eva stratt has just kidnapped her second-in-command. eva stratt has just lost her closest friend.)
