Title: “King of Pain”
Author: em2mb
Pairing/Character: Keith, Veronica.
Word Count: 4,165
Rating: PG-13
Summary: He fixes the bathroom door and paints Veronica’s bedroom, but deep down he knows a splash of color can’t mask the grey in their lives. The hero is the one who stays, but sometimes it’s natural to want to run.
Spoilers: Through 1x01, “Pilot.” Takes place pre-series.
Warnings: Discusses the Pomroy party.
Author's Notes: Another fic generated from one of the “pockets of evil” (lazaefair’s terminology, not mine) in my brain. Title from the Police song.
