allegory

[buggery]

Jesus is hanging crucified, thorns digging in his scalp, half-healed whip weals on his back, spear-wound bleeding down his side. Two other Jesuses are standing before the cross, each with similar wounds.

Jesus-3 turns to Jesus-2. "Does it hurt? Let me see."

Jesus-2 spreads his arms, and Jesus-3 probes a finger into the gash in his flank. The pain is singular, shocking. When Jesus-2 can see and feel again, he's alone, Golgotha deserted but for him. He doesn't know the way to the tomb.


If you have no idea what that was about, you aren't supposed to. If you do, well, I don't need to tell you what you ought to do. Ought to have done.

(and what genderfuck AU? What's the Spike hiding from me, hmmm?)

Not hiding. It's just one of those complicated pieces that refuses to give up its secrets in one sitting. There's a snip of it on my LJ and more of it on my hard drive. It continues apace.
