Fandom: LOST
Characters: Alex/Richard, Ben
Prompt: Fanatic
Word Count: 138-ish
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Future fic. Alex wants her revenge, and Richard can give it to her.
Author's Notes: No beta. Prequel to The Dry Taste of Death.
She is her mother. Ben could never see that. And the walls were never thick enough to muffle out his secrets.
No longer daddy’s little girl, that adoring, petulant fan, she dangles temptation in front of Richard like some neutered junkyard dog.
She knows what he is, what he wants, what it takes to make him scream her name. But mostly, she knows what he needs. And for that end, Ben’s purpose has been served. Only she can give it to him now, and what he can give her is vengeance.
Daddy’s been a bad, bad man.
"It’s time," Alex whispers one night, naked at his side.
"Why not you?" he asks, tracing one finger along her spine.
"I still have my soul," she answers.
"What makes you think I don’t?"
"What makes you think you do?"

I am now off to read the fic this is a prequel to!
Seriously wonderful job! I really enjoyed it.
