Fanfic
"I love you," she said in a broken whisper. "As I love you, my dear." He smiled and closed his eyes again. He looked so peaceful, yet Mary could see how laboured his breathing was. She knew that the sand in the hourglass was going to run out soon, so she silently bent down and kissed him on his forehead. ***DISCLAIMER*** This is a fictional story based on the lives of real people who I admire to the moon and back, Freddie Mercury and his forever love Mary Austin, and will include the band members of Queen and a few other people related to them. As Freddie's lifelong home, Garden Lodge, finally goes on auction this year, I was reminded of this story I wrote close to a decade ago when I first got familiar with this pair's eternal love for each other. This is, of course, a highly idealized and fictionalized version of events, but it also contains some facts that I gleaned from feverishly watching countless hours of interviews of the band members and Mary. It is not my intent in any way shape or form to cause hurt, slander, malign the image or damage the reputation of any real life person, living or deceased, mentioned in this story. This was supposed to be an ideal world where friends met, had fun, lived life and faced challenges together. But reality always hits like a freight train in full throttle. ***DISCLAIMER*** The story has been written with the lyrics of Leonard Cohen's love ballad "So Long Marianne" because I think the lyrics fit so many event in the lives of Freddie and Mary. Also, because Marianne kind of resembles both Mary and Marlena, Freddie's drag queen name. ***WARNING*** Mature themes and content. Mentions of passing of a person, cheating, coming out story, Freddie's illness and HIV may be distressing to certain readers. Please exercise caution while reading. Not suitable for younger audiences.

  • Falling For Freddie (Freddie Mercury or Queen Fanfic)

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story. This story runs concurrently with "Bloody Desire" and "All Roads Lead to Rome" Awesome new book cover is courtesy of @ScarlettOlivier. She's awesome. Check her stuff out.
