Okay, okay, okay, I promise I'll stop bothering you until at least the next chapter comes out Sunday, but I was re-reading Valarr's first pov in chapter 2 to see his first reaction to Daeron and how far everything has come since then (I feel like all of the readers have been going thorough a life changing journey here) and I totally forgot this line
"The last male omega to wed a male alpha had occurred in House Baratheon."
Please tell me Lyonel Baratheon has two dads. Pleaseš
Lmao. Alright, but what I was searching for
"Perhaps this was not Daeron. Perhaps it was the sharper faced shorter brother. Just as he felt more disappointment filling his chest, he was surprised by an action of the tall man.
The tallest son of Maekar, with his red rimmed eyes, smiled. At Valarr. There was no mistaking the recipient of the smile, as he had not done so until his lavender eyes met Valarr's own mismatched hues.
The man was smiling at him.
Valarr didn't understand the way his heart skipped slightly."
He fell first, he fell harder except Valarr did both at the same time. I remembered that Valarr got distracted by Daeron smiling (Daeron smiling because he thinks it's cute that Valarr is shorter than himšā¤ļø) but I forgot just how fast he fell
It seriously cracks me up how Valarr went from calling the Maekarlings plain, to being disappointed by Aerion before Aerion ever opens his mouth because he thinks he might be Daeron, to thinking that Daeron, even though he's going though withdraw and is trying his best not to pass out, is handsome. Perfectly composed prince Valarr short circuiting in front of the entire court over Daeron smiling at him for the first time. He was down bad from day one
Re-reading this really just makes it all the more special when Valarr tells Daeron that he loves him more than anything in chapter 18
Seriously, such an amazing fic and I will be re-reading it many times over like a beloved novel
You're not bothering me, don't worry!! I always think peoples reactions/thoughts/comments are super fun to read LMAO
Also that line was to imply that Lyonel has a husband LMAO š But!!! The idea of him having two Dads also works so well for how he is, so it could be taken as anyway you want LMAO
Oh yeah, Valarr fell immediately. It's got a lot to do with the fact that he was being given Daeron. So, essentially, in his mind Daeron was already his -- courting period or not. So he's looking at Daeron not through the lens of a cousin, a friend, a companion, but just as his future wife. And I love the whole hoarding/obsessive Dragon shit so Valarr is an obsessive dragon hoarding his new wife LOL
Also Valarr has bad taste (kidding) he saw that shaking/sweating/pale/thin cousin of his and got heart eyes immediately. Stand up, dude.
Valarr loves Daeron, that obsessively possessive love only festered the more he got to know him š¤¤
But I'm glad you've enjoyed those parts!! And the work as a whole honestly š„ŗ
