“I’m made up of black coffee, untamed hair, and poorly suppressed anger.”
— The Never Book
@witchsfoundling & @diviines
— She felt too scattered, and everything was beginning to feel like too much. She’d made an attempt to sleep, but sleeping when she was angry never really went well, so she’d eventually opted to skip sleeping altogether and slipped out onto the terrace after an hour of lying on the couch. It wasn’t like she needed to sleep anyways.
She’d started out reading, focusing on the pages so her mind wouldn’t wander too far, but even trying to focus on the book was too hard, and she found herself letting her thoughts stray to the ceremony, the bond, as she stared out at the city. It wasn’t fair. She’d never wanted attachments, and sure, she’d agreed to the wedding to stay in Rome, to stay with her relatives. But she hadn’t agreed to a soul bond. She hadn’t agreed to anything that would tie her to anyone for the rest of eternity, at least in that way.
She tried to force herself not to think about how much she wanted to rip someone’s throat out, and instead made herself focus on the view, on the city, for some time, before finally dragging her attention back to the book she’d grabbed.
But by morning, she’d dropped the book on a step, not having processed any of the words, and was back to staring out at the city. Her mind was wandering through all of the things she’d done in her youth, and trying to decide if she could get away with repeating some of it here.
Eventually, she pulled herself away from the edge of the terrace and stepped back inside, stopping in her tracks when she realised that both Rowan and Rosalie were awake already.
“I suppose we have a lot to talk about…” Luna rubbed a hand over her neck before wrapping her arms around herself. She still felt awkward, on top of the agitation she was feeling over the whole bond.
Rowan had flown the whole night, ditching the festivities to his own wedding because Silas and his mandatory attendance bullshit could go fuck themselves, really. Well, that, and the fact that had he been forced in closed confines with the bastard, he’d have killed him on sight.
And in all honesty, his little tantrum hadn’t helped much with the wildfire of fury inside him. But it did put his rage on a simmer, gave him a little more time to devise the most creatively painful ways a werewolf could die in and Rowan was still very much determined to kill the damned mutt as he walked back home from the outskirts of the town.
It was a relief neither Rosalie, nor Luna were in sight when he walked through the door, though any hopes that they’d absconded were quickly pushed aside as unfair. It wasn’t their fault, not this, at least, and Rowan needed to focus on the real enemy. He sneaked into his bedroom to change out of his stupid suit and have a shower, before braving the shitstorm this new development had made out of his life.
He could add to the list now, along with everything else, him fucking off minutes after they were married, as what was wrong with their relationship. Not that there was much of that going around, but the odds of any flourishing were dwindling rapidly.
Maybe he should apologize.
Or maybe he should tell them to get the fuck out of his house.
It wouldn’t break the soul bond, but at least he wouldn’t have them around as constant reminders. And besides, his ring wasn’t on a trigger finger, he could quite comfortably do without one out of ten.
“I’m making breakfast,” he announced, as his eyes fell on Rosalie and then Luna, standing at the terrace door. “Omelet. Anything in particular you like on yours?” the question was directed more towards the one who needed to eat.
Luna’s softly-spoken statement grated on his already overwrought nerves. She seemed more uncertain and awkward than fire-spitting angry, and Rowan didn’t know what to do with that.
What was worse, was that her doubt seemed to be rubbing off on him, as well. There was a part of Rowan that wanted to reassure her and sure, it could be argued that it would be obvious even to him that being an asshole about this whole situation wouldn’t help one jot, or maybe it was that stupid, fucking soul bond messing with his mind and policing his behavior.
They needed to find out everything they could about soul bonds before he went insane. And in the meantime, the way to keep himself on the razor sharp edge of control was by keeping himself busy as he stomped around the kitchen, pulling out ingredients and pans, starting the coffee, and turning on the oven. “Do any of us even know anything about soul bonds, other than what those dipshits said? Because I can fucking guarantee it’s not the whole story.”

Aragorn smiled at the boy as he watched him move about his home. He had missed him. Rowan had always been like a brother to him. He had watched him grow from a little hatchling and he adored him. He was happy to see him alive and whole.
He moved about quietly for a few moments just looking around and taking in the way the home was decorated. It felt peaceful being there though he couldn’t tell if it was because of the home itself or because of the person who inhabited it. He should have found Rowan sooner but he hadn’t been able to. He hadn’t heard anything of him and no one he came across had any information that was useful.
His heart clenched hearing how upset Rowan was. He moved to wrap his arms around his shoulder again even though the boy had looked away from him. He wanted to contact between them. It was soothing and Aragorn had always been an affectionate person.
“I almost was burned away. I don’t know what happened. I was fighting and then I saw my family going down. Heard them screaming as they all burned away and I was next. I was taken down and I laid there for some time. Even after the battle. People must have thought I was dead because no one came to finish me off. I was dying but someone saved me. They took me away from there and I spent years recovering. I never fully recovered really. I still can’t fly as far as I used to. Do not be upset with me Rowan. I would have come to you if I could have.”
Rowan paused, tongs resting clumsily half-around the steak he had intended to flip, when Ares wrapped his arm around him. For a few moments, he didn’t move, wasn’t sure that he could move, didn’t know whether to push him off, or turn around and hug him tighter. His heart picked up a nervous tattoo as Ares recounted what had happened after the battle, and he closed his eyes in an attempt to shut everything off.
“I looked for you.” Rowan finally whispered, his free hand lifting so he could wrap his fingers around the other dragon’s arm, deciding he’d rather hold him close. “I must have been hours late, but I looked for you. It’s not you I’m upset with,” he turned around so he could look at him. “I wasn’t there. You needed me and I wasn’t there.” He’d wanted to find that weapon. Something strong enough to bring down behemoths like original dragons couldn’t be allowed to exist. He’d tried to cut off the head of the snake, but doing so had meant abandoning his comrades. “I didn’t even know I should have started looking.” Guilt was useless, Rowan knew. He never allowed himself to feel it for long. Same with grief. Those things were just distractions in the end. He’d mourned Ares for a little while and then allowed rage to take over and once he’d exhausted himself, he’d focused on winning the war, telling himself it was what his friend would have wanted.
Guilt might have been useless, but he couldn’t fight much against it when it was this fresh. “I’m sorry.” He muttered, wrapping his hands around him. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there. But I am now, and you no longer have to recover alone. You’ll fly as fast, and as far as you used to in no time.”

Anne Carson, “I Wish I Were Two Dogs Then I Could Play with Me” (via m-l-rio)
( @witchsfoundling )
morrigan was worried. there was no point in denying it ― she wanted her kids to have their ‘happy ever after’ on their own terms and now it was taken away from them, of course she was worried. it could go in so many wrong directions. before, it was more of a concept, but today it was getting real. and yes, rowan told her they are working it out and she wasn’t going to put her fingers into that ( it helped that she knew rosalie ― and that the princess knew how many twisted spells morrigan was able to perform with a snap of her fingers ; not that she was going to threats her or luna… not without a reason. )
she slipped her way into the room, hands slotted against her stomach, looking around slightly before locking her eyes on the tall figure of rowan. she comes closer to him, a soft smile already on her lips. she stepped on her toes to kiss his forehead, hands lifted to gently frame his cheeks. light hues wandered over his face, and her heart swelled with emotions. “ gods above and below, “ she murmured, smiling more openly, thumbs moving over his skin. “ look at you ― my boy all grew up to be a handsome man. “
Could he go through with it?
Rowan had spent the night flying, under the cover of darkness, just in case the war wasn’t truly over (he knew peace couldn’t last), but he’d returned with the sunrise, cleaned himself up, didn’t touch any alcohol and changed into the slate grey suit he bought specifically for this.
Could he live with making another choice?
His family was in Rome, things here were stable here for better or worse, for however little they lasted. It was still better than out there. And although they were still afterthoughts to him, Rowan still felt a prick of guilt when he considered the possibility of humiliating them by not showing up. Or showing up without bothering to look at least presentable. He wasn’t so sure about Luna, but he felt confident Rosalie would care how he dressed on this day, with the whole city showing up to see them wed. It wasn’t the end of the world if he put on better clothes for a few hours. They weren’t even that uncomfortable.
But he was still struggling with the tie as he stood in front of the window, letting the breeze ruffle his hair. He wasn’t even remotely nervous. He was furious. He was so angry he could spit fire, and the problem with that was that he did not mean it in the metaphorical sense. He felt ready to burn down the whole city. Part of him thought it preferable to going through with this.
Dragons didn’t shackle themselves to others – his love was either freely given or not all. And right now, there was no love to speak of.
As if to prove him wrong, the door opened, soft footsteps alerting him of another presence and he turned sharply, the air which had shimmered with the heat he was giving off, suddenly clearing as his eyes fell on his mother. Expression softening slightly, Rowan clamped down on his instincts, controlling himself with some effort. His skin was still hot to the touch as she put her much colder hands on his face, but at least he wouldn’t burn her.
“Can you please help me with this?” he gestured at the skinny tie around his neck. “I can’t figure out the knot,” Rowan had managed not to wince at her wistful words. He’d been a man for centuries and she’d helped raise him up, so if she felt like she needed to be a little maudlin right now, he wouldn’t be cruel about it. He was getting married, after all, and he hoped Morrigan, at least, could find reason to be hopeful, for he sure as shit wasn’t.
