mental link; goodnight sweet fuckboy

[ Nyx Ulric slipping from her grasp is like a sun blinking out, her skyline gone suddenly dark, her world gone suddenly cold. It knifes through her, and after a moment of shocked, numb, silence: she starts the vibrate. An earthquake of anger and pain, electricity crackling off of her as her thoughts explode outward.

To call the noise echoing out of her any kind of language would be a gross exaggeration, it is merely a series of ocean's deep lamentations, reverberating throughout the immensity of her. Up from the magma at her core, through the cavernous, lightless space that is her consciousness beyond the shell of She. ]

[ ...It takes its time, but eventually her wounded presence slithers off, a poisonous trail of brack and blood in its wake. ]



[ Somewhere in the physical world, she shows little of her internal distress. Still as stone in her robes staring out into the distance, jaw grit, fists clenched. ]
sizeofyourbaggage: (when did this happen)

[ It's a shock to the system, when the steady hum of a symbiote connection drops off. It's even worse when it's a broodmate or someone you know well - distantly Sam's angry that feeling Parker slip away knocks him off kilter almost as much as losing Nyx, when he didn't give nearly as much of a damn about his broodmate as he did his soldier bro - but he knows he's not gonna have it the worst.

He thinks immediately of Annie, but her mind is churning out into the Nest before he decides whether to contact her or not. And then it's less that he's trying to contact her and more that he reaches for her, mind opening up to hers.

It's not planned, really, it's more just - what she's bleeding off isn't familiar, but it isn't completely foreign, either. It's the feel of the Void staring back at him from Zhukov's mind, the echo of the Prothean warning in Shepard's, both of which still loom somewhere deep in his. He'd tried to shield the Nest from those back then, but he's a hell of a lot better at it now.

Before he can even think about it, their connection is blown wide open, and as it grows, the voices of the rest of the Nest dim.

He doesn't actually ask it, but the thought is clear in his mind anyway - Annie? ]

[ Sam can take it. All of it, give it back as good as he gets - and if he can't, well. When faced with a challenge, caught up in the moment, he's rarely worried about what he can't do.

He's not looking to replace the loss of a broodmate, of that kind of connection - but he's here anyway. He knows loss, and he can be here.

For all that his mind is laid bare, there's a calmness and a certainty born from knowing who he is and the journey he'd taken to get here. It's jeweled tones in the colors of the sunrise, vibrant and alive, and even though there's a dark undercurrent of something hollow and aching, the faint echo of something that'd once been chaos - it's dull and distant, never forgotten, but faded.

When she - it? - they rush in, his mind flexes, bends, adjust as it's overtaken. There's room enough for both of them in this shared mind space, probably. Sam pulls her in, lets her dig into the parts of his mind that are on display, wraps himself around her in return.

And he's - he is steadiness, he's determination and loyalty and the one always at your side. He's adrenaline and the beat of wings and the quick pumping of blood, rushing and heady in the back of your ears and thick over your tongue. He is love and warmth and heat and anger, burned in every inch of him.

All of it's there for her to take as she winds into his mind - and he winds back, just a little, grabbing whatever he can and holding on. ]

[ She takes offense, and there's a flicker of something that could almost be the curve of a smile as she pulls back to examine where she's come. No, the landscapes of their mind don't mesh at all - but fuck if that matters, at the moment.

Fuck if much of anything matters except the way that she dives back in, rolling around in the layers of his mind, and he closes his wings around her as she wraps herself up. Feather soft and steal strong, pulsing heat as though they have a heartbeat of their own, and he pulls her in deeper as she dips her fingers inside, rifling through everything he is.

His grief doesn't have a name - it has too many names - his anger doesn't have a purpose - there's too many years and too many recipients that blur together - but specifics don't matter. She can take it all, as far as he's concerned. He's got no damned shame, either in who he is or in general. There's an echo of laughter at the way she expresses herself, and he doesn't fail to react to the challenge.

He twists his way into her in return, the rush of wind that rips its way into anything left unbarricaded, the grip of fingertips firm enough to bruise, the slip of skin over skin, the glint and press of teeth. ]
