Dec 13: Venom: Gen

Title: The prodigal symbiote
Fandom: Venom
Rating: Gen
Prompt: day 13: blue Christmas
Summary: Eddie is blue until he isn't.


“…decorations of red on a green Christmas tree …”

Eddie had never been a fan of Christmas carols, but as he mumbled pleasantries to a concerned-looking Mrs. Chen, it seemed Elvis was singing right from his own heart.

Eddie stepped out onto the sidewalk as a city bus rolled by.

BAM!

And then, once again, Eddie could no longer call his body completely his own.

“The prodigal symbiote.”

You were right, Eddie, playing elf to a shopping mall Santa Claus was not the authentic human experience I was looking for.

And just like that, Eddie’s Christmas wasn’t so blue anymore.
