ONE FOX

One fox, nose to the ground. Searching? Yes.

But not for a scent; searching for a trail of magic.

Two foxes meet in a park, confer. Did he go that way? No. That way.

Nine foxes converge beneath a window. Their quarry is inside, but not alone. Why must humans have so many emotions? It muddles the trail.

Eight foxes skulk away, one keeps watch.

Their quarry trails magic behind him; they’d like to learn his powers. But he always runs.

One fox pauses at a bus stop. A human points. The trail is strong now.

One fox goes on.

IT FEELS LIKE HOPE

Notes:

Written as a Yuletide treat for asuralucier (

iomixit), who had such a fantastic prompt! I wasn’t able to finish this in time for Yuletide proper, and I know there are already multiple Yuletide Fleabag fics that do clever things with this idea… But I’ll toss mine in the mix anyway, because it really was a marvellously inspiring prompt. Happy belated Yuletide, asuralucier!

Enormous thanks to ashling, who betaed this with the great gift of honesty. Which in this case meant telling me the first version of this fic didn’t work, paving the way for this second version that we both like much better. Thank you, ashling!
