Title: The Fallen
Author:

behrbemine
Summary: Much of his true feelings are hidden in firm smiles and lies, but he never was able to lie to her.
Disclaimer: I don't know anyone mentioned in this story, nor do I dare to insinuate these things are actual happenings. Nothing is mine except the words that describe what's in my head.
Pairing: Johnny Weir/Sasha Cohen
Warning: This is a RPF (real people fic), about the two figure skaters and their life both on and off the ice. If this kind of thing squicks you, please move along.
Warning #2: Angst covered in angst sauce. You won't find happy fluff here.
Beta: Thank you, Richard, for the tremendous insight. Thanks also to oli...x for looking it over.
Note:

tamingthemuse Prompt #39: Inertia.
Another Note: The sections in all italics are from the past, in case that's not clear. And lyrics used in one scene are from Nelly Furtado's 'I'm Like a Bird'.
Rating: PG-13
Time frame: Takes place during the summer of 2007.
Author's Note: I'm very nervous about this. It's basically my first time of trying to capture real people in the real world. My words tame the explosiveness of Johnny's personality and present a more somber image. Let me know your thoughts?

( He had been there since the lights started to blaze... )
