VM Ficlet: "Fealty" by The Spike

Fandom: Veronica Mars
Summary: Logan can take a beating.
Spoilers: all eps including finale


Round and round and round he goes, where he stops...

Logan hopes it never stops. Weevil's hands are hard and every time he goes down his head feels lighter. He can't even remember what else hurt. Oh right, fucking heart. If he could tear it out with his own two hands...

He thought for a long time it died with Lily, but it kicked back hard when he watched his tiny little mother fall and fall and then Veronica... He can still feel her in there, burrowing like some fucking soldier ant. Then Weevil's big boot catches him right under the ribs and for a minute the universe is nothing but white-hot noise and shiny, perfect pain. Fucking heaven. Can't stay there though... Back to asphalt and no air and where was he...? Oh, right. Dying of happiness. Must be or he wouldn't be fucking laughing so hard in the sudden quiet. Quiet. Hah. Dull traffic roar, wet wheeze of his broken laugh louder than the thunder of the bridge-deck under his cheek. He can hear Weevil talking on his cell far far away and that's fucking hilarious too, considering...

"Jesus fuck, Veronica," Weevil says. "Jesus fucking *fuck*." Cheap plastic shatters and skids by Logan's head and then there's a hand on his shoulder. Gentle hand. He twists away from that shit. Hard.

It's one thing to take a beating, he'll explain to Weevil one day with a lead pipe in his hands, but from now on nobody touches him where he can feel it.

Nobody. Logan swears it, whispers it in blood to the last ground his mother ever walked on.

Nobody. Not ever again.

thank you! it's been so long since I've written something I wasn't sure how it was going to come out, but I can't stop thinking about the way he looked so brightly, horribly happy when Weevil rode up. Asking 'what more can you do to me?' like he hoped they could come up with an answer. *snif*

oh jeez, you just killed me ded. I totally forgot they didn't come back to him after that scene. God.

God. *flails*

And yeah. Pain is something safe. It's almost like air.

Those were the most evil of cliffhangers. They resolved everything but the matters of the heart. And I didn't even see them coming.

thanks for the feedback.

Oh my god. That's so painful and perfect and -- oh, yes. YES.

thank you, stranger. *g*

Yummiest. You are so good at the dark and the pain.

Wahhhhhhh!!!!!!

*sniffle*

This was perfect. Logan is so my new woobie.

mine too!

Oh yes. I join in the cries of "perfection!" Because it so it. Poor Logan.

It's one thing to take a beating, he'll explain to Weevil one day with a lead pipe in his hands, but from now on nobody touches him where he can feel it.

And yet, still the hint of fangs.

[info]spike21

May 13 2005, 13:54:35 UTC 7 years ago

He is a bitter, bitter boy. *snif*

Wow. This is... ow. I admit, I still have a small leaning towards Logan/Weevil, and this? This comes close. *cough*

I have no real reason to think that Logan is intrinsically less of a jerk than he's been in the past, but he's kind to Veronica, and he's in pain, and man. This is great. Thank you.

[info]spike21

May 13 2005, 13:56:47 UTC 7 years ago

I agree. Logan is... Logan. All the crap that's happened to him hasn't made him a saint. He's still the boy who filmed bum fighting. But *man* the world has just kicked him in the gut so many times this year. Thanks for the fb!!!

*sniff* Poor Logan. *sigh* I love the part about not touching him where he can feel it. Excellent.

[info]spike21

May 13 2005, 13:58:47 UTC 7 years ago

Thank you!

oh, give me my beautiful logan back again...*sniffs*

[info]spike21

awwww. He does suffer very beautifully.

alsdkjfalksdf How is this so brilliant. OMG it hurts - please make it stop. Seriously, this fic is going to fucking haunt me, I just know it. So vivid and heartbreaking. Wow.
(Here via [info]vonnie_k's rec by the way)

May 13 2005, 14:01:24 UTC 7 years ago

thank you! I just can't believe they *left* us not knowing what happened to Logan!!!!! *meep*

[info]angela_o

Very powerful and very painful. I think that you've really captured the way that Logan differentiates between physical and emotional pain and his ability to withstand the former a lot better than he can the latter.

Thanks for sharing (and here via vonnielake's recommendation)

[info]spike21

May 13 2005, 17:00:59 UTC 7 years ago

thank you! and thanks to vonnielake.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. That was awesome. So Logan. This line: "he'll explain to Weevil one day with a lead pipe in his hands"... so very Logan. *sigh* I hope he makes it into Season 2 reasonably intact.

[info]spike21

May 15 2005, 02:12:27 UTC 7 years ago

I hope he makes it into Season 2 reasonably intact.

I know. There are so many directions they can go with him and so many of them are just about the *pain*.

I like this Logan. Total train wreck, but I'm so good with that.

"fucking heart" - just heartbreaking. I've included this fic in today's "Logan character study" rec post at [info]vm_fic.

thanks! I shall go look!

It's good to rediscover this now that I know what the hell it's about.

I LOVE you.

yeah, it was pretty 'moment-specific' *g* Poor S1 Logan. I've ended up not watching much of S2. I lost the thread at one point and decided to wait for re-runs but now I've missed it again.
