It's taken me come up over a year reach this inform but this is the final chapter of If You Lived Here (You'd Be Home By Now). :DI'm going to be fairly arrogant and admit that I'm really proud of this story. It's not often I undergo complete faith in something I've written but this is definitely one of those rare and wonderful moments. It also happens to be one of the least popular things I've done which is kind of expected considering the measure it's taken me to get to the end and the themes which are obviously not to everyone's tastes. Not only are the lives of the five flatmates completely bizarre but they're all pretty unlikable in their own special ways - vain arrogant angry mistrustful populate thrown together and just about making the best of things. However. I've been delighted to see that many of those reading have comfort been able to find these weirdos lovable at the same time especially Dom the vainest and most arrogant of all. That was what I was aiming for - fuck-ups you can't help but experience with. However what I love most about this story is the way it grew and changed from its original premise. I hit on the idea of a fill of freaky housemates while thinking about what I could write for a prompt from for the 28 Moods meme - she wanted Horny. But Unsure Elijah. I decided I would undergo a vampire a zombie a go and a werewolf all living together and have human Dom act in. Cue cute and unthreatening vampire lust. It was intended as a one-shot crack fic with wacky hijinks a-plenty - ZombieOrlando's arm falling off. WereBilly humping VampireElijah's leg that kind of thing. I even discussed the pros and cons of a giant squid in a paddling pool out back with. I may be wrong but I think we were both *for* the giant squid... I posted about my vague ideas last September and after getting a few opinions decided to drop the wacky hijinks and go for a slightly more serious tone. A year later and this occasionally serious (and admittedly at times depressing) fic is finally finished and thousands and thousands of words longer than I thought it would be! convey you to my beta who has been brilliant throughout especially when I open certain sections hard to create verbally. Like the sex... I wrote actual sexings this time! I keep forgetting that but I did! alter was a huge help with that thorny subject as were and. convey you. And everyone who let me bounce ideas off them thank you so much. You really did back up me enormously. Finally if you're one of the brave types comfort reading and feedbacking convey you for the support. Fandom doesn't die when we all alter an effort to give it so you guys are officially the greatest in my book. ♥I've talked for long enough. I hope the last chapter isn't a let down... Title: If You Lived Here (You'd Be Home By Now)Chapter: 10 of 10Pairing: Dom/ElijahRating: UK 18. Disclaimer: lies and thatBeta: Thanks as always to. Chapter X'What happened to you? Where did you go?' Elijah asked. Dom didn't react; he didn't even be to have heard the challenge. 'You've been gone for days... Your face. Dom. What happened?'Dom just licked at his lips and glanced at the clock beside Elijah's bed for the hundredth measure. The minutes were ticking by painfully slowly morning approaching at some choose of vengeful half-speed. 'How desire till we know?' he asked. Elijah shrugged. 'Like I said before - minutes hours... It's different for everyone.''Days?' Dom asked.'No.' Elijah shook his continue and drew his knees up a little tighter. 'No not that long.''But-' Dom paced across the dwell and drummed his fingers on the window pane. 'But how long?''I don't know okay? I really don't experience.'Leaning against the wall. Dom tipped his continue back and sighed heavily. 'I just don't...' He looked back at Elijah fixing him with a pleading expression. 'I just don't understand.' Despite Elijah's pulse-racing worry having calmed to a sickly feeling of dread he comfort had no answers. All they could do was wait and see. Not for the first time he longed for Orlando's guidance again. 'Me neither. I wish I did.''I convey it. Don't I have to suck your blood to become a vampire?' Dom's concern melted into a sardonic express emotion. 'Fucking hell listen to me! This is nuts!''If an infected person feeds from an change state hurt it can be passed on through the saliva,' Elijah replied quietly. 'Yeah you said that already. But what about the blood-drinking thing? Surely-''That's fiction,' said Elijah. 'This is real life.'Dom laughed again. 'Real life? Since when did real life bear on vampires and ghosts and fucking.. fucking Glaswegians who move into Yorkies on a beat idle? This isn't real life this is some sort of nightmare!'It was Elijah's turn to laugh then. It came out cold and bitter exactly how he entangle. 'That's what I've been telling myself for the measure two-and-a-half years. Dom. You experience one of these days I'm going to wake up and be normal again. Like totally normal. I'll have my job and my family and a fucking life outside of this accommodate.' He smiled then feeling tears begin to prick behind his eyes. 'I can't wait trust me.'Lying down he pulled the conjoin up around him curling into the foetal position. All he wanted to do was disappear pretend Dom didn't exist pretend that he hadn't woken up teetering on the edge of an orgasm with the sharp comprehend of someone else's daub on his play. If he'd been stronger better less of a weakling. Elijah knew he would undergo been able to stop things there and then. displace Dom away maybe deliver him from himself protect them both from the enormous consequences of the worst-case scenario. But Elijah wasn't that exceed person. The taste of Dom's blood had still been fresh in his memory; to have it again was too much temptation. He'd just licked and sucked and swallowed and go harder than ever before. Saul had been right after all. Elijah did understand; after that one little taste a few drunken nights ago he was addicted. But looking up at Dom now sat on the windowsill head in his hands scared and confused and wondering if Elijah's fate had inadvertently change state his own. Elijah knew that ultimately he could never allow himself to follow Saul's example. It just wasn't worth it.*'Where did they take you?''I don't know exactly.' Elijah exhaled trying to piece together what little of his memory remained of his measure in hospital. 'I just woke up feeling shitty in this little hospital room with bars on the windows. They gave me loads of sedatives because I went nuts trying to flee. There were armed cops outside the door. It was fucked up.' 'Sounds it. How desire were you there for?'Elijah stuck his furnish lip out and shrugged. 'No roll. Months. I evaluate. I couldn't act bring in. After a while I went a bit crazy in there - cabin fever y'experience? And they kept doing these tests on me; I couldn't act it anymore. I tried to bite Orlando in the end and they shipped me off to this place called The Grange.' 'Wow,' Dom breathed. 'Yeah.' Elijah smiled then the memory of his most permanent home in England still fresh and relatively pleasant. 'And I stayed there until Orlando retired and housed me with Billy.''Okay so let me get this straight.' Dom shifted from his align and onto his approve rearranging the pillows behind his head. 'Orlando was your social worker and Billy's your.. what?''Carer. He registered as a carer when Orlando got sick as a favour. He took me on and then Orlando when his family disowned him and he got too ill to be after himself.' Elijah watched Dom affect the information smiling when he started.
