Someone picked up the sun and pinned it to the sky again, but every day it hangs a little lower than the day before. It’s like a negligent parent who only knows one half of who you are. It never sees how its absence changes people. How different we are in the dark.Not everyone gets a true ending. There are two types of endings because most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, where the situation feels hopeless. But that’s when hope is needed most. only those who persevere can find their true ending. Hope.It’s like a drop of honey, a field of tulips blooming in the springtime. It’s a fresh rain, a whispered promise, a cloudless sky, the perfect punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. And it’s the only thing in the world keeping her afloat.Happy endings can be caught, but they are difficult to hold on to. They are dreams that want to escape the night. They are treasure with wings. They are wild, feral, reckless things that need to be constantly chased, or they will certainly run away. Rhaenyra had woken once the sun’s rays danced against her skin instead of the marble floor of their chambers. Like a young girl reaching for their teddy bear, her manicured eyebrows furrowed slightly as she reached out for the body of the man who was to be her homeland. The remnants of his body lingered in the air and the silk of their sheets, Jewel toned eyes opened in a fluttering whisper of sun spun gold lashes and body languidly raising to take stock of the room. The woman with a halo of blonde hair behind her had some idea were he was before her bare feet kissed the ground in the serene silence. She had chosen not to slide on her slippers in hopes that it would keep away the time to be out of the safety of the arms of the man she loved. Gold shimmered no matter what, but few people could make darkness glitter the way he did.She knew better than to think that she could surprise the roguish prince even in the early light. The window had a figure leaning out of it. in the pure glory of a night tunic hanging from his frame. her husband was perfect all of him. His entire body.Proportionally. Symmetrically. He was absurdly, mathematically perfect. It doesn’t even make sense that a person could look like him. And he’d chosen to be hers. He smelled of magic and heartbreak, and something about the combination made her think that despite what he claimed, he wanted to be her hero. She remembered her first impression of him, tall, roughly handsome, and dangerous, like poison dressed up in an attractive bottle.She remembered thinking falling for him would be like falling in love with darkness, but now she imagined he was more like a starry night: the constellations were always there, constant, magnificent guides against the ever-present black. He was a mess of gold hair, sea-salt green eyes, and bitten lips, beautiful in a way only broken things could be.He looked like a freshly woken storm, or a beautiful nightmare come to life so he could personally haunt her. With a gentle giggle, she held her back up by the cold stone of the walls. Ivory fingers running elegantly against his skin in small smoothing circles. He looked like a freshly woken storm, or a beautiful nightmare come to life so he could personally haunt her. “I should have known that i have seen you leaning out the window, Daemon, but I must admit that I would have enjoyed spending a few more hours in the expanse of your arms instead of watching you brood against the castle.” the heir teased with a mischevious upturn to her smile.There was a certain lovesick vulnerability between them outside of prying eyes and ears. Her body longed for him. The final distance closing by the warmth of her night gowned body against his sturdy chest and solider. A contented long labored sigh parted her lips. In a slight dip, the blonde reached to The targaryen girl was kissing her husband like the world is rolling right off a cliff, like she’s trying to hang on and she’s decided to hold on to Daemon, like she’s starving for life and love and she’s never known it could ever feel this good to be close to someone. Like it’s the first time she’s ever felt anything but hunger and she doesn’t know how to pace himself, doesn’t know how to eat in small bites, doesn’t know how to do anything anything anything in moderation. His mouth was crashing against hers. He tasted like exquisite nightmares and stolen dreams, like the wings of fallen angels, and bottles of fresh moonlight.It’s the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.It was the sort of kiss she could have lived in. The sort of kiss worth dying for. “Might I interest you in a different sort of way to pass the time?”
