Happy birthday, m'dear! :) Here's a wee ficlet for you!
Title: Reflection
Fandom: Bourne Ultimatum
Pairing: Nicky/Jason
Rating: PG
He pauses, just for a moment, in the doorway of the bathroom, a somber reflection in the mirror. When she turns to face him, there’s a longing in his eyes, but it’s gone before she can even react to it. It’s her hair, dark and bobbed like Marie's was. He’s not seeing her, he’s seeing Marie. The ache she always feels around him, that constant, terrible ache, hammers her chest. She could go to him. She could reach out her hand to his face as she’d done so many, countless times before. She could draw him into a kiss, show that him that even if he doesn’t remember her, his body does. She thinks he might be enough of a gentleman, this new Jason Bourne, to give her what she wants, that he would be too polite to turn her down.
But he wouldn’t be remembering her, only Marie.
There’s a moment, the tiniest moment when she thinks he’s going to remember her. And then he turns away and she knows that that moment was lost long ago.
This man, Jason Bourne, may lay down for his life for her, he may trust her, but he has no idea who she is.
Nicky’s eyes meet her own reflection. She doesn’t look like herself. She’s not even sure who she is, anymore.

And your icon is so damn cute! :)

That's one of the things that I find most intriguing about Jason, that he can be such a vicious bastard one moment and then so honestly flummoxed by female attention the next.
And he is curiously gentlemanly, isn't he? :) He's an enigma, that Jason! So glad you liked this. Have a terrific day!
And hey, you're also in Lost fandom, right? :)
And yep, I watch GA but I'm mostly about the slash pairings, although I don't read 'em or write 'em much. And I'm inexplicably for Mer/Der, at least when I'm watching. Meredith is like Kate on Lost to me -- I just don't hate either one, even though so many do.
And Meredith, I just find that when she's sad, I'm sad and vice versa. And I never like Derek more than when he's hopelessly besotted with her. It's very hard to get chemistry to work on a show and I think they really have it, as do Sawyer and Kate. That said, I also enjoy the subtext of Mark/Derek and Meredith/Cristina.
Great idea and great writing - I really love it
BTW: I really like your lj header. I was surprised to see it. Are you a Devotee, too? Because I`m and I adore Depeche Mode.
And yes, I love Depeche Mode! I'm kind of hooked on Dave Gahan's new solo album, hence the new header. Usually it's pretty Lost-centric around here. ;)
"Lost" oh great show ... and "Hourglass" I see. I think it`s really cool that Dave writes songs too, like Martin. I loved "Playing the Angel". Good to know, that you love DM. :)
Very angsty and edgy.
Thanks for sharing.
