Title: N is for Nightmare Rating: PG Word Count: 116 Pairing: Jon/Zahir – Team Bend-a-lot Round/Fight: 1A Summary: (n) a horrible dream.
Zahir likes to think that he’s brave. He has never run away from a fight, or avoided something just because it’s difficult. Then the nightmares begin.
Jonathan tosses and turns beside him, and though he doesn’t cry out in his sleep, Zahir can see the terror that is gripping him with silent claws, his forehead crinkling deeply as he relives something horrible. Zahir can’t even begin to imagine what it is that haunts Jonathan, though he knows the cause well enough.
Zahir has never dreamed of the Chamber. And as much as he tries to be brave, watching his knight master and king endure restless nights, his own Ordeal gets closer and closer, and he’s frightened.

This is very scary in a very real way.

I agree. There's something terrifying about the silence in this piece, how so much is unsaid between them, and how Jon is scared beyond words. Great imagery!

I love this. Especially the idea that Jon still gets nightmares from the Chamber (and he's gone in twice ). Of course Zahir is terrified!
