“ what would you do if i kissed you right now ? ” / alexander & felicia ( got. )

They didn’t have many moments to be soft. 

The king was more and more ill with the months and even the most positive maesters didn’t give him more than a couple of years before he met his end. No one would truly mourn the king, but the fact that he left the kingdom without an heir, without someone to lead them and kept the peace that everyone had worked so far for. It was being more clear that the decision would fall into hands of the Tyrells and more precisely, in the way they made their alliances. In the end, it seemed that that her little game of seduction was now the base of the next coronation and while she enjoyed the power it gave her, Felicia was feeling how it slowly took away her youth. There was a responsibility to be taken, a much bigger one than she anticipated when she was offered more than one choice for marriage. 

Yet, was there really any competition? 

Christopher was sweet, and the support of the North would be something that Felicia longed as much as she hated the place, but he wasn’t enough. There was only another soul that understood hers perfectly, that matched perfectly the way she saw the world, and that was Alexander’s. It was easy and fast and suddenly, she knew that no matter what happened, the Lannister heir had imprinted his touch in her skin in a permanent way. Two sides of the same coin, two flames equal in both fire and power. 

And now, in the middle of Casterly Rock, with the castle to themselves, they were able to stop for a moment. There was no more fighting to have that day, no masquerade to perform; just the two of them at the entrances of the garden, seeing the rain fall on the flowers. His arms were strongly wrapped around her and when his voice whispered against her neck, Felicia’s smile appeared without needing more prompting. “We both know the answer to that” 

It seemed so simple compared to everything else they had enjoyed together, but somehow, it felt more special. No one was watching them, there was nothing else to win but each other’s hearts, and suddenly, she couldn’t handle another moment when she didn’t look at his eyes. Felicia’s mind was fast, but not enough to stop her from wishing to have this forever, to end all pretense in that moment and to claim him hers, without any other doubt. “I didn’t take you for a a romantic, my lord, but I can’t say I hate it that much” Her fingers caressed the line of his jaw, eyes shinning with longing and want. “What is you, is me. Whatever you wanted to do right now, I’ll want to do just the same”

secrets : my muse sharing/confiding their deepest, darkest secret with your muse. / landon & angie.

She had missed this. 

The way Landon’s fingers felt between her own, the way their shoulders brushed when they were pressed together on the floor; it almost felt like the way they were a lifetime ago, when neither of them were aware of how perfect they had it before they lost it all. Angie was thankful for this moment, for the way the alcohol had made her forgot all the bad blood between them, at least for this precious moment. She had so many things to tell him, memories that he had missed when they were speaking, that the words came out of her lips fast and as coordinated as possible. They both were laughing so hard that it almost felt like a dream and even in the moments of silence, the feeling of content never left her body. 

“I went to see my mom” Her voice was soft and sad, gripping his hand tightly and bringing it to her chest. Angie couldn’t look at him in the eyes, not when he was the only person in the world who knew how much this meant to her. Aubrey was her best friend, but she could never be able to understand the anger that this whole thing had left on her; no one did but Landon. “I don’t know why. I guess I was lost or whatever” You left me. “So I went to see her and check that she was alive and... Well, she is. I have a sister” 

The corner of her mouth went up at the memory of the little girl, but her eyes got full of tears instantly. “She is a single mom again, but, you know, she doesn’t hate her kid this time what is honestly awesome” Her free hand went to clean her eyes, sniffing. “And she talked to me for the first time since I was seven so that was cool too, said she was sorry for never being able to love me” Strong arms wrapped around her, but Angie still couldn’t face him, so she just let her whole weight rest against his chest. Landon’s smell was everywhere and it brought her the comfort she didn’t know she was searching for. “I don’t have to wonder anymore and I can finally say fuck you to her and just, erase her from my entire life” She shrugged lightly, trying her best to not start shaking. “Who wants a mom that doesn’t love her, right? I already got a better mom and an awesome dad and two great siblings. I never needed her and I won’t ever need her”

i don’t care about the consequences. / jackson & felicia.

Felicia wasn’t sure how, but Jackson kept finding new ways to make her fall more in love with him, after all these years. 

Now that she looked at him, worried but decided, it was almost like not a day had passed since the first time she laid her eyes on him. His hair was grey, but his arms were still strong and his voice still made her heart slip a beat, a heart that had been his from the moment he asked for it. There was no other choice for her than follow her own heart and she was happy that she had crowned him king, but more importantly, that her had choose him as husband. The years had only made him wiser, keeping his brave and good heart, even when it had been broken by own hand many times. 

It was just a testament to it that, after hearing the news about their oldest son declining to ever have a wife, his intentions to announce him as the heir of the Iron Throne had not changed. It wasn’t something that surprise Felicia in the slightest, she was Tristan’s mother after all and knew her son like the palm of her hand, but she wasn’t naive enough to not realize it would bring consequences to the stability of their kingdom. One day, Jackson and her would be gone and Tristan needed to have a strong support behind him to be able to rule as many years as they had. He was still going to need a companion in life, but that was something they would had to discuss together in another moment. 

“I know you don’t” Her voice was soft, something reserved for his ears only. They were alone in his solar, and she let herself wrap her arms around his neck from behind, pressing a kiss on his temple. “And you shouldn’t. There are no innocents left in this world who think they could defy you” The only reminder of Jackson’s power made Felicia’s blood run warm and her mouth to move down, this time kissing the back of his neck. “But we must be smart. Make this as easier as we can for him and for the ones to come that find themselves in the same situation” The twins both already had strong alliances waiting for them to reach their maturity, but she had a feeling there was a chance they would be adding another stag to their family some time soon. It was a fleeting thought, but she let it pass for another moment. 

Letting him out of her hold, Felicia sat in front of him, face resting in her open palm. “Would you like some wine while we discuss how we plan to keep the pace after we have met the Gods or would you need something stronger for that?”

1. watching tv/movies together

This is possibly one of the worse nights of Seo Dan’s life. That says a lot since she’s been through some painful things, like having the man she loved fall into a coma from saving her, or losing her father when she was young, or when her first crush decided to go out with her out of responsibility and nothing else. There’s a lot, but this? This is definitely up there. And who is to blame? Oliver.

Dan isn’t a crier. She’s always been very stoic and faced things with a calm and cool demeanour. She’s only ever cried twice in the entirety of her youthful life, once when her father died, and right after the man she loved got hurt. Now Oliver is going to be third man that made her cry. 

Clutching the blanket against her chest, Dan cried silently. How could he do this to her? After everything... she trusted him. She let him into her life, into her home. And this is how he treats her? 

Seo Dan, I’m sorry...

That’s not good enough. That can’t be good enough. He broke her heart. A ‘sorry’ can’t mend her broken heart, now can it? What’s the use of saying ‘sorry’ if he knew this would hurt her like this? This is entirely preventable. This is on him. 

“Why did you do it?” Her voice broke as she spoke for the first time after crying for almost an hour straight.

“You said this, this Notebook, was a romantic comedy, I do not see anything comedic about this. She didn’t remember him at the end! Then they died!”

90. going for a ride together

Seo Dan felt like she was a ball of tension. She has her first concert with the NY Philharmonics in less than two weeks and she’s been practicing non-stop. All of her waking moments were dedicated to practicing. She’s skipped so many meals simply because it was far too inconvenient to order take out and have to stop practice just to open the door and then eat. 

The only reason she’s even survived this long is because of her boyfriend. It’s so weird to call Oliver that, her boyfriend. But that seems to be the role that he fills in her life right now. They had gone on their first date a few months ago, and they’ve been steadily seeing each other... even though Dan was mostly occupied with her rehearsals and Oliver was just, she doesn’t even know what he does in his free time. Is she a bad girlfriend for not knowing these things? She never paid attention to other people, it’s usually people volunteering information about their lives to her. She’s never had to ask or figure it out on her own. Clearly, she’s never dated anyone seriously (or at all) before, so this is all.... very confusing.

Well, perhaps she’ll have to make more of an effort to get to know Oliver. It does seem like it’s rather one-sided what with him lavishing her with attention and her being rather aloof to him. She does like him. Seo Dan is not the most friendly person and because of her mom, she only see other people as competition rather than an ally. So when she says she does enjoy Oliver’s presence and general existence, she really mean it.

Which is why Dan let herself be taken off to a car ride with Oliver in broad daylight, when she should be practicing her piece. He had called her up randomly, as per usual, and asked if she wanted to do something fun and before she can even reply, he told her that he was waiting for her downstairs and just hung up. Absolutely infuriating, honestly. But she did realize that it’s been almost a week since she last saw him, and a part of her did miss seeing him.

When Dan asked Oliver where they were going, he, honest to God, said wherever the road leads them. Dan had never wanted to bang her head against a tofu more than then, or maybe bang Oliver’s head because ugh. But soon, Oliver started pointing out places to her, suggesting that they should come back together when spring comes around. It was nice, a very low key kind of nice. It wasn’t one of those fancy dinners or outings that Oliver used to take her, this was just the two of them, spending time together.

But in Oliver’s natural fashion, things got silly. When they got onto the highway up to the Hamptons, Oliver put on some music and of course, being the man that he is, decided to sing along. At first, Dan was surprised because how can someone sing so confidently and sound so bad? Then she just started laughing because Oliver was clearly enjoying himself and didn’t care for a thing. 

It was a good decision to come out after all. Maybe she’ll do something nice for her boyfriend in return... soon.

❝ How are we going to break the news to them that they’re getting a brother/sister? ❞ / your choice.

Her eyes turned to her husband, while her free hand went instantly to her stomach and a soft smile appeared on her lips. It was a perfect morning with the sun shinning bright in Dorne and for the first time, Felicia’s mind was completely in the present, focusing only on the man that had her arms wrapped around her. 

They didn’t need to be king and queen there, when all responsibilities lied on his brother and the excessive ball of energy that was his wife and while that normally bothered her, the news of her second pregnancy had soothe all of her thoughts. It was unnecessary to tell anyone just yet, specially when they were so far away from home; it was a little secret that they both kept to be for a little while, in their perfect bubble of happiness. While Felicia had first presented some resistance to this sort of getaway, seeing how much Tristan and Jackson both enjoyed to have a little more freedom to run around made her think it was the right choice. The fact that she got to see her love without as many articles of clothes that he usually wear was also something to celebrate, even when she had to share that view with everyone else. 

It was funny, that even when Jackson and Max looked almost identical, in the same way that Camila and her did, Felicia could distingue her husband without a problem. A romantic would say it was by the way her heart still leaped inside her chest when her eyes landed on him, but she knew it was something much more primal than that. His body was a map she had studied extensively for years and while his brother had his fair amount of scars, Jackson’s were the ones she had memorized, both in looks and taste. They told the story of his life, that she was so interlined with hers. 

And now that all the bad was behind them like a bad dream, Felicia had the opportunity to see this new pregnancy like a gift, like the start of the rest of their life together. Tristan was her entire life and she didn’t know how it would be possible to love other as much as she loved him, but it was already starting to seem easy enough. “Or both, if the gods allow it and my body carries bad luck” The fact that Tristan was only one was a surprise, considering they both had twins. She couldn’t being the imagine the pain that would consist to bring two babies to the world, but her soft smile let Jackson know she was merely joking, at least in that moment. “You know how much he is being asking for someone to play with back in the castle. I’m sure he will be delighted” 

Out of habit, her eyes moved to her son, who was perfectly happy playing with Max, Lizzie and their daughter, always under the faithful eyes of May and Camila. That, of course, when they weren’t looking at each other, but Felicia wasn’t too worried. They were safe here and most importantly, they were happy. “He is already the best prince the seven kingdoms have seen; being the best big brother will be the easiest task for him. You will see”

℧ angie & landon.

landon gets amnesia and forgets everything about angie .

Angie knew they were doing too good. 

When you are a neglected child, you grow up with this strange sense of recognizing danger. It wasn’t like you could always prevent it, or have the tools to face it, but you just know it’s coming. Angie had felt exactly that, but for the first time in her life, she didn’t listen. There was no need to run or protecting herself because this time, she had Landon, full and healthy Landon, by her side. They were doing well, happy and content and she was actually starting to thinking that everything they suffered before was finally being worth it. Whatever it was that was waiting for them in the future, she was sure that they could face it together. 

Stupid girl, who never learns. 

She didn’t think, not even for one second, that it could b this. 

The only thing she knows is that there was an accident and that the smell of hospital is everywhere and one of his sister is holding her by the arms to explain her what is going on. Angie doesn’t understand anything past the part where her boyfriend doesn’t remember the past ten years, cause that means he has no clue who she is. Almost hysterical, she thinks that well, now they really can’t get past this, if he is not really here. 

“I...  I have to go” The arms around her held her in place for a second, but Angie was stronger and more hurt, easily slipping past them and distancing herself from the Rose family. She was aware that the moment his mom asked her to stay, she was gonna, but thankfully Millie remained quiet and understanding. Could they see how broken she was? Could they feel how this was breaking her entire life? “I just, I need a second” Or weeks. 

Angie couldn’t help but thinking that this was his second chance. He had no idea about the drugs, or the street fighting, or about the many times he had hurt the woman in his life. Landon was free from regret, something she had always wanted for him, and maybe this was life’s way to give her exactly what she asked for.

34 cooking together / aj & dominic.

AJ should’ve never listened to Dominic. He has never had a single good idea and this one might just be one of his worse ones. She has never cooked anything beyond instant noodles in her life. After Dominic left her in her first year of medical school, she survived entirely on bread, instant noodles, and take out deliveries.

So when she lost a stupid bet with Dominic, she immediately wanted to kill herself when his punishment of choice was to cook with him. He wants to kill her, she just knows it. Dominic has always been the one to take care of their cooking when they still lived together. She barely knew how to boil water on the stove, how the fucking hell is she supposed to cook with him?

Throughout the entire evening, Dominic was basically ordering AJ around, telling her to do this and that, not to touch this and that, to cut this and that, that she wasn’t cutting this and that right. Finally, AJ has had enough. The moment Dominic opened his mouth, AJ stopped him by raising her hand in front of his face.

“No. No more.” She said, throwing the kitchen towel onto the counter. 

“I’m not going to do this anymore. You said this was suppose to what, improve our relationship? Well, that’s the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever heard. This whole thing just makes me want to run you through with a knife, ten times.” She snarled as she crossed her arms in front of her and glared Dominic down. 

“Go find someone else to cook with, because me? I’m done. Never doing this again. Nope. Never.” With that she turned on her heel and began to walk away from Dominic’s smug grinning face.
