Title: Dust My Broom
Author: Czigány
Beta: AaG
Rating: M
Chapter: 2/2
Fandom: Multiple canon Deus Ex sources
Warnings: mentions of self-harm (bruising) and canon-typical blood
Pairing: Adam Jensen/Francis Pritchard, pre-relationship into relationship
Summary:

See a reborn ghost in every passing glance; some things can’t be held no matter how firm your grasp

 

The practice is more folktale than fact, but when Sarif digs a scalpel into the bruised flesh of Adam’s ribcage, Pritchard knows exactly what his boss hopes to accomplish.

 

Frank could have told him it doesn’t work that way, but Sarif never asked.
