Summary
Being fate-touched hadn’t seemed so hellish when he was a boy. Sure, it had seemed fanciful and antiquated, ill-fitting to his life built around technology and computer logic, but it had just been a thing, like a birthmark, a fact of his life that existed, but that didn’t affect him much at all. His foreknowledge was just vague enough that he didn’t worry about it at every turn, nor did he really bother to look for Fate.
Until he met Blake, and the vagueness snapped into crystal-like clarity.Written for Whumptober 2020 and the prompt #15: "Into the Unknown: Possession | Magical Healing | Science Gone Wrong" (primarily inspired by "Into the Unknown")
