*checks my wristwatch* It’s been a good while since we’ve had some McSombra Angst™
Also, my apologies! This is been in my inbox for a while but I finally got some inspiration to write it. This goes along great with my headcanon that McCree kicks the bucket before Sombra, although, it wasn’t suppose to be so soon.
Bury Me Not
Characters/Pairing: McSombra.
Summary: McCree tells Sombra his last request.
Tags: Angst. Lots of angst. Unhappy Ending.
Warnings: Character Death. Blood.
A/N: Please listen to Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie. It inspired this ficlet. My favorite version is by Colter Wall, but his version doesn’t contain the entire lyrics.
Red stains every surface. The harsh, last rays of the sun bleeds a neon across the ground, allowing shadows to stretch. The dark points try to grasp him, but he stays just out of reach.
The ground is cold. It seeps into his bones, chilling his already escaping heat. McCree breathes out in half a cough. He struggles to sit up. The effort makes a quiet groan rip through his throat before he lays back down. His hat is gone. It lays tilted, upside down, just a few inches away. The hand at his side, clawing into the dirt, twitches at the thought of grabbing it, but he never does.
