"do you remember what i told you last time?" (for yas/henry)

He remembers. Not as words, never anything so small but as something that rooted itself into him and refused to decay. It lives beneath his ribs the way hunger does, constant and patient, waiting only for the right moment to surface. He remembers the cadence of her voice, the quiet certainty threaded through it, the way she had looked at him as though the world had already chosen them and there was nothing left to question. That certainty had once made him feel untouchable. It had also ruined him. And now she stands before him, no longer the girl he left behind but not entirely someone new. Yasmina. Mina. He does not say it, but the name moves through him all the same. She is composed, carefully so; dark hair pinned with deliberate neatness, posture drawn tight with practice rather than ease, every line of her shaped by expectation. But the truth of her lives in the fractures: the tension held too long in her shoulders, the way her fingers twist at the ring as though it resists her, the sharpened light in her eyes where softness once lived. She has learned to endure. That, more than anything, pleases him. And still she is unmistakable. Unmistakably his. The thought settles without invitation, immediate and absolute, and he does nothing to correct it.Henry lets the question hang, stretching the silence until it sharpens, until it presses against her as insistently as his gaze does. He understands the weight of absence better than she ever could. He lets her feel it now: the years, the distance, the lie of his death settling between them.

 Then he steps in close enough that retreat becomes impossible, that the air itself seems to narrow around her. His hand finds her throat with deliberate ease; not forceful, not gentle, simply there, a quiet assertion of control. He feels the pulse beneath his thumb, quick, alive, betraying more than her expression ever would.He leans in, unhurried, as though reacquainting himself with something long denied. His breath ghosts along her skin before his lips follow, slow, measured, tracing the familiar line of her neck with a precision that feels less like desire and more like memory returning to its proper place. “I remember,” he murmurs against her, voice low, controlled, threaded with something darker than either. A pause. Not hesitation, never that but intention. His grip shifts almost imperceptibly, enough to remind, not enough to harm. “I remember,” he continues, softer now, the words meant only for her, “that you believed it would matter.”The air tightens.His gaze flicks, briefly, to the ring at her hand before returning to her face. Not anger. Not accusation. Recognition. “Tell me,” he says, almost conversational, though nothing about him is relaxed, “does he know?”Another pause, quieter this time. Closer. “Or was that something you only ever gave to me?” There it is the fracture. Not loud. Not violent. But clean, precise, splitting the moment open to reveal everything beneath it: the love that once held them, the years that tried to bury it, and the man who returned not broken, but honed into something that no longer asks, no longer waits.

"i told you not to get attached. "(for amara/cassius)

“I know.”  It lands cleanly. Not cruel. Not careless. Just… certain. Like something already decided, something that doesn’t require further explanation. The way he says everything that matters. Amara doesn’t answer right away, she feels it first; sharp, immediate, and then buried just as quickly, folded into something controlled before it can reach her face. Years of practice make it easy. No one at court has ever seen her falter. She will not start now.She thinks, distantly, that it’s almost insulting to call it attachment. As if it were something light. Something temporary. Something she picked up along the way and could just as easily put down again. As if it hasn’t been there for years, and begun before she had the sense to stop it.She remembers him as a constant before she remembers him as a man. A presence at her shoulder, a shadow at the edge of every room, a voice that never spoke unless it had to and yet was always there when it mattered. Before the proposals. Before the expectations hardened into something unavoidable. Before she learned how to perform. He had been there before all of it, and now he stands in front of her, speaking like this is something recent. Something avoidable, something foolish. Her gaze shifts to him, steady, measured. She knows exactly what she looks like right now; composed, unreadable, untouched. It’s a version of herself she perfected long ago.It feels almost dishonest, standing like this in front of the only person who has ever seen through it. She wonders, briefly, if he means it.Not the words, the words are easy, he always means what he says. But the distance. “You were there before the suitors. Before the negotiations. Before I understood what my life was going to become.” A pause. “You were there before I learned how to lie convincingly.” That lands between them, heavy and unmoving.“And you think this,” she gestures faintly between them, something controlled but trembling at the edges, “is something I could have simply decided not to feel?” What she doesn’t say, what she will never say is that it stopped being a warning a long time ago. That somewhere along the way, it stopped being something she could control at all. That he is the only constant in a life built entirely on uncertainty and that she trusts him more than anyone else in the world and that trust has nowhere to go.

They both know better, that’s the part that settles somewhere deeper than hurt. He isn’t wrong and that’s what makes it unbearable.Because she knows exactly how this ends. She has always known. Before she started looking for him in every room without meaning to.Before it became this. She could step back now.She could draw the line cleanly, restore the distance, become what she is supposed to be; composed, strategic, untouched by anything that might compromise her position. She has done it before. With others. With everything else. She could do it with him, the thought sits there for a moment then disappears just as quickly. Not because she can’t but because she won’t. That’s the difference.  “You were just… there. Always. Before I knew what it meant. Before I had the sense to stop it.” Her voice tightens, just slightly, the only crack she allows. “Before it mattered.” She studies him for a moment longer, committing something to memory she doesn’t need to, his stillness, the way he holds himself just slightly apart, like he already belongs to something else.“And now you stand there,” she says, quieter, sharper, “and speak to me as if this is some passing indulgence. As if I’ve mistaken you for something you’re not.” She takes another step closer, too close now, closer than she should be, closer than she ever lets herself be when anyone else might see. Her gaze searches his not for answers but for anything that might contradict what he’s saying.“I know exactly what you are, and I know exactly what you would choose.” Her voice doesn’t shake. That’s the worst part.She steps back then, restoring the distance he asked for with the same precision he lives by. Composure sliding back into place like armor. But her eyes don’t soften “They will marry me off,” she says quietly. Not dramatic. Not distant. Just fact. “To someone who makes sense. Someone who secures something. Someone I will learn to stand beside without wanting to leave.” A breath. “And you will stand there,” she continues, her gaze fixed on him, unflinching, “exactly where you always do.” Her voice drops, just enough to make it intimate; dangerous.“You’re the only thing in my life that was ever mine,” she says, barely above a whisper. And then, like she’s correcting herself;  “The only thing I ever chose, and I  don’t regret it,” she says finally. She straightens, the princess again, the future queen, the girl who will survive this because she has no other option. “I don’t regret it,” she says finally. A beat. “I regret that it’s you.” When it came down to it, he would choose duty and she would still choose him.

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

this is a bad time to talk about your problems.

who goes to their parent’s house for a weekend when things get bad? neither of them

who wants to have children? who doesn’t? if both do, how do their goals differentiate? alex does want kids, actually! i think he assumes ophelia is too cold to want them but for all he knows, she does

who is more adverse to physical contact? ophelia

who hates/dislikes their neighbors the most? both of them

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s family? i feel like they're both either indifferent towards each other's families. i don't think either of them have reason to like, outright hate the other

who is most likely to leave when things get rough? both of them lol, at the drop of a hat, and they'll come running back just as quick too lmaooo

who thinks their partner turned out a different person than they thought? neither of them are surprised. they always knew exactly who the other person was, it's why they were so addicted to each other for so long

who is more likely to cheat? ......ophelia

who is the more experienced ( sexually or otherwise )? i thiiiiink ophelia. alex was like willfully naive about the way their world worked for years in a way ophelia has never been

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s friends? they both practically hate the infamous eight anyway, ophelia is annoyed by like all of them except emmaline and jack and alex turned his back on all of them but he still loves his brother and he has a soft spot for georgia and sometimesssss bela

who wants to go to social gatherings the most? ophelia. gotta love a girl who keeps up appearances with her boy toy who hates being out in public

who is most likely to be dishonest? ophelia lol

who is more emotionally closed off and how does this affect their partner? ophelia 100% and it drives alex crazy

who is the dessert person? alex

who is more conservative? alex. you can't grow up in the sinclair cult and not come out with a bit of conservatism in you

who hates/dislikes oral sex? i'm saying ophelia for this but correct me if i'm wrong

emmaline & jack —

who throws things in a fight? jack would probably throw something at a wall

who goes to their parent’s house for a weekend when things get bad? neither of them

who wants to have children? who doesn’t? if both do, how do their goals differentiate? emmaline decided when she was like 14 that she was never having kids. i could see jack wanting them (correct me if i'm wrong) and it absolutely would cause conflict

who is more adverse to physical contact? emmaline

who hates/dislikes their neighbors the most? emmaline

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s family? emmaline fucking hates the sinclairs, canon info !

who is most likely to leave when things get rough? well. emmaline did, so :)

who thinks their partner turned out a different person than they thought? i think both of them were surprised. i don't think jack was expecting someone who looked so put together like emmaline to carry so much baggage, and i don't think emmaline expected how much of a mess jack could make

who is more likely to cheat? oh i hate to say it but jack. i'm not saying he would, but especially when jack and isabela hook up, emmaline sees it as a betrayal even if they're not together because it's her best friend, and that's the whole reason she even goes to hook up with william as revenge

who is the more experienced ( sexually or otherwise )? i think they're both pretty even, actually. they both had experiences before they were dating, and then after they broke up it's not like either of them became celibate, so.

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s friends? they have the same friends and they're fine with them

who wants to go to social gatherings the most? social gatherings are a big part of emmaline's job, but jack actually enjoys partying

who is most likely to be dishonest? both of them, but they always justify it by saying it's for their own good

who is more emotionally closed off and how does this affect their partner? emmaline, and jack hates that he feels like he's losing touch with her

who is the dessert person? jack

who is more conservative? jack, gotta love that sinclair cult. emmaline is the complete opposite of conservative

who hates/dislikes oral sex? they're probably that couple that doesn't care about oral sex with other people but love it when it's between them

isabela & william —

who throws things in a fight? isabela :) god love her

who goes to their parent’s house for a weekend when things get bad? isabela

who wants to have children? who doesn’t? if both do, how do their goals differentiate? i'm gonna be so real, i don't think either of them should ever have kids. isabela doesn't care about children and she's an only child who was barely raised by her parents so she wouldn't know how to be a mom, and i don't see william feeling any particular paternal instinct

who is more adverse to physical contact? neither of them

who hates/dislikes their neighbors the most? william. bela probably makes conversation with the neighbors at 3 in the morning in her pajamas

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s family? i think they're both probably indifferent to each other's families

who is most likely to leave when things get rough? william. bela clings to him like a vice

who thinks their partner turned out a different person than they thought? william is exactly who isabela thought he was, and isabela is exactly who william thought she was

who is more likely to cheat? william

who is the more experienced ( sexually or otherwise )? both of them are very experienced, but i'm saying william only because he's older so he's had more time

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s friends? william, because bela has a bunch of friends and he's possessive enough to want her for himself until he gets bored

who wants to go to social gatherings the most? isabela, social butterfly queen

who is most likely to be dishonest? both of them are, but obviously william is more dishonest because he steals from her, even though she knows it...idk it's fucked on all sides lmfao

who is more emotionally closed off and how does this affect their partner? william, and it drives isabela up the wall, he quite literally causes a mental breakdown for her

who is the dessert person? isabela, she has the kind of gluttony they talk about in the bible

who is more conservative? william

who hates/dislikes oral sex? i think both of them are probably obsessed with oral sex

nate & georgia —

who throws things in a fight? i don't think either of them would tbh

who goes to their parent’s house for a weekend when things get bad? well, it's definitely not nate

who wants to have children? who doesn’t? if both do, how do their goals differentiate? idk georgia's opinion on kids but nate is like...take it or leave it—in all honesty, he probably expects to just hand the kid over to a nanny and do the whole kids thing the family way (aka, the logan roy school of neglectful parenting)

who is more adverse to physical contact? georgia

who hates/dislikes their neighbors the most? i don't think either of them would like any neighbor just because they probably like their own space

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s family? they probably both hate each other's families let's be so real and honest and truthful with ourselves

who is most likely to leave when things get rough? georgia! avoidant queen!

who thinks their partner turned out a different person than they thought? NATE LOL

who is more likely to cheat? :/ nate

who is the more experienced ( sexually or otherwise )? nate

who hates/dislikes their significant other’s friends? they have the same friends and they all hate and love each other equally

who wants to go to social gatherings the most? nate

who is most likely to be dishonest? both of them

who is more emotionally closed off and how does this affect their partner? georgia is definitely more closed off because she has a hard time trusting nate, which usually wouldn't bother him but the fact that he actually wants georgia to trust him frustrates him because she won't, even though it's like 100% his own fault that she doesn't.

who is the dessert person? georgia

who is more conservative? honestly, probably nate. his parents seem like the type

who hates/dislikes oral sex? neither of them
