Summary
In a matter of seconds ice is forming a thin sheet over his jacket, cracking with every shuddering breath he takes, and despite his layers it feels like he'll never be warm again. He tries to reach out for that rainbow glimmer of the cape but the cold sucks the strength from him too quickly to stretch even the scant meter to his salvation and he abruptly realizes he is going to die.
As quickly as the knowledge hits him the cold starts to retreat. Frost cracks off of his fingertips and doesn't reform. Ice melts down the back of his neck and his shiver doesn't lock up all of his muscles. He's still cold, still shuddering and weak and helpless on the ground, but it doesn't feel like the life is getting frozen out of him anymore. What's more, a soft golden light, the only real color he's seen in hours, dances around him.
-----The spirit-cape scene from The Creeping Shadow, this time with Visitor!Lucy.
