#a suitable verse

[sweetfirebird]

For reasons I cannot get into now, please think about Mattin trying to strategically pout to get something. A) not being good at it, yet so endearing B) not realizing he doesn't need to pout because Arden and Mil will do whatever he wants anyway and C) Arden and Mil being devastated by it anyway

Happy St Valentine's! For anyone so interested, a short prequel (always the prequels with me and this 'Verse) to A Suitable Consort, featuring 25 year old Arden and Mil and uh... well it's Mil pov so it's not delicate.

Also, because it's on my mind right now ~for reasons~ and also because vashti-lives is making me laugh about it, the Suitable verse is like entirely people who *think* they are being sensible and are not at all traumatized being pursued and protected by stressed out actually sensible people who might also be traumatized but at least they aren't nobles making dumb noble decisions. And those sensible people are so tired. They're so tired. It's just the two of them (for now) versus Arden, Mattin, and Zelli who are all bananas in different ways.
