the_rckTitle: A Ladder of Driftwood
Fandom: Sky High (2005)
Rating: T
Length: 3414 words
Characters/Pairings: Warren Peace, Will Stronghold
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Dark, Alcohol use, Villain Warren Peace
Notes: This is the seventh story in my series called Not Ready to Swallow Oblivion.
This diverges from the second branch after "From the Chalice of Their Common Need" somewhere between four and five years after Homecoming.
All of the things that happen in the series up through "From the Chalice of Their Common Need" are implicit in this one but most aren't directly referenced.
Summary: Will and Warren talk. Once again, Warren is terrible.
Stronghold's lips pressed together in a line that was very near ruler straight. "Shower. There's a new toothbrush in there." He turned and walked to the threadbare armchair in the corner. He didn't turn as he said, "Don't run. You're too damned hungover to ignite, and I'm not sure I'd stop after I kneecapped you."
Warren told the truth. "None of them would forgive me if I hurt you."
Stronghold gave a wrenching laugh. "I think you've already done everything you can in that direction."
Warren didn't manage to parse that until after he'd run icy water over his head for a while.
Warren had taken Stronghold's friends and Stronghold's parents. Warren had what he had because Will Stronghold didn't.
