Prompt #16: Threads

image

Bonds. Connected by a thread of fate. No matter the distance. We will always find each other again.

image

Sometimes the connection between two people is the most unlikely thing you would think could happen. That they don’t fit together. But somehow it works. They fit. Like the missing pieces of a bigger whole. That the one half fits into that broken and jagged half so perfectly to make a whole.


Alex couldn’t help but fall for the small raen healer. She didn’t see him as beyond help. She believed he could change. Be better then he was. For her he was willing to fight to make that true. For Sanagi.

“You’re mine. I love you, Sana.”

image

Sometimes it takes that one bright and shining soul. The shining light that can break through the darkness and take that person by the hand. Guide them from the darkness and the pain. Let them heal and smile once more.


She had been hurt and used. The memories clearly still haunted her. Yet she was still the sweet little bird who had flown to his side when he made a mistake and gotten injured. Whose smile made him want to offer her the world if he could. Just to see her continue to smile. To keep his sweet rose from withdrawing back into the pain. To see her true worth. Especially in Valen’s eyes.

“Such a pretty flower, You shouldn’t hide away.”

image

To find that something the soul longs for. To truly live again. As that thread of fate is pulled and tugged. Sometimes gently. Sometimes shoved and pulled. As if the hands of fate are truly at work.


Lance wasn’t looking for someone. Had pretty much given up hope on such an ideal at his age. Duty. He lived for duty to the High House he served. Then in walked an angel. He could have sworn Halone herself had sent this woman to him. A tug towards the lady who offered her kindness and help to quiet the pain. Still he remained guarded yet. So afraid to let anyone close to him after all that had happened. Maybe he really did need a shove by Halone.

“Kyna, I shall do my best. I hope you will continue to help me through this.”

image

Sometimes that is all one truly needs. A hope. A guiding hand. To find a bond so very needed. A bond that gives them strength and steel. Makes them stronger rather then weaker. A bond that they would fight tooth and nail to protect.


Silent wings. Silent songs. A calling neither answered. Yet a small hope began to bloom as the dragon began to find herself craving the next meeting with the small miqo’te woman. So many people she couldn’t trust with the truth. Yet Bodge… Bodge she could trust. Bodge was the first person she had trusted since Roselle.

“Bodge friend, would you like some berries?”

image

Yet no two bonds are exactly alike. Each one is unique. Each one is special. As that red thread of fate brings them together. No matter the distance, they will find each other.


Destiney had been cautious at first. Not sure she wanted to love again. More then once she had been shot down, left feeling unworthy. Then along came the wolf to steal the maiden’s heart. She handed it over to him so willingly. Found herself wanting nothing more then to stay by his side. To have a family with him.

“I love you, Syluss.”

Prompt #14: Feelings

image

Alex sighed softly as he looked at his gear and ran a hand over the guards for his hands. Remembering the other night. The way Sana had looked in the coat made by the same man who had crafted his own armor.

Hell he still remembered the first time he truly fell for her. It was still hard to believe that she could love someone like himself. They were heading towards a year now though. It seemed so close and yet still so far. Even with all they had been through over the time they had been together.

Fixing his injuries without too many prying questions. Not admonishing him for what he did. Actually listening to the truth he rarely told most. Not even running from him when he had tried to scare her off for her own safety. Not looking at him like the broken creature he often felt like…

Still she tried to make him see his own worth. Making him feel like maybe there was some hope… Even for someone like himself.

L’ania. Ulan. Arik. Ilan. Lancefer. Most importantly Sanagi.

Perhaps he wasn’t as hopeless as he once thought. Giving a wry chuckle before running a hand over his face. A lot had changed in a little over two years. For once… He had friends. He had someone he loved. He had a chance at happiness. If he could let go of the fear.

His thoughts drifted to Sana again. To just them together for her nameday. To the sweet tenderness of her tending to his wounds. Sleeping with her snuggled close to him. Seeing her smile. Having perfectly normal meals together. Treating him like he was a valid person and not just a monster.

Sana always seemed to make everything okay. No matter how stupid he acted. Her light chased away the darkness. She somehow always made everything okay.

Alex tipped his head back as he closed his eyes. He was alone. He felt no shame in letting the tears run down his cheeks right now. “Please… Let me stay by her side. Let me have this one thing if nothing else.” A quiet plea to the gods that he swore hated him and made him suffer for so much of his life.

Prompt #9: For Sana

Alex breathed a sigh of relief as he set the box down on the counter. Just having returned from a bakery and some other shopping. His cooking skills just were not up to par yet for what he needed. Though he was sure Sana would have loved it either way. However he wanted her to have this after he had seen it in the bakery.

It looked like an adorable cat head. It was supposed to be filled with a thick rich chocolate. Now he just had to find a place to hide it till her nameday and play stupid.

He totally hadn’t done a little asking around for when Sana’s nameday was. Nope not at all. Plus he had bought her something else. Now he just had to hide them both from her till then. Surely he could play dense for a few days easily.

From L’ania to Alex: Daffodil – Do you like trying new things? What is something new you’d like to try?

image

“Not really sure. I never really considered actually being able to try things until this past year. It’s always just been survival before now. So it’s still an adjustment to think I can actually try new things. I mean I’ve tried my hand at cooking and Sana an Ana aren’t dead yet so I can’t be a bad cook. I thought about opening some kind of place to eat but I ain’t got the temperament to deal with assholes if they want to try and pull shit over on me. Don’t think I’m quite ready to try that yet.”

(Thanks @wicked-virtue )

Honey – Have you ever considered marrying someone? What is your opinion on marriage in general? Have you Alex?!

image

“Have I?” A long silence as he looks away. “Maybe. I mean we made mentions of weddings after watching a friend’s sister get married. At most we agreed the wedding was tacky and we didn’t want something like that. I don’t really see how being married or not being married is anything special. Well beyond making that promise I guess. But I think it might mean more to Sana then it does to me. If she doesn’t kick me to the street, I’ll likely ask eventually just to make her happy.”

(Thanks anon!)
