#I'm not crying yes I am

[pulchramsolis]

[@kinslcyer sent]: Aemond wipes the tears from beneath Abby's eyes. "How long have you been having nightmares like this?" King and Queen verse combined two memes because they worked so well together. tw: loss of a child, night terrors, grief

The distress that shakes through her body is violent enough that the sobs themselves tremble. She shakes as if she were freezing cold, but it is fear that feeds her distress and it is fear that keeps her in the hold of the terrors that plagued her. Abrogail does not give notice to her husband's tender affections as her beautiful blue eyes are bright with fear and wide with terror. The answer is unsaid but hangs in the lack of immediate acknowledgement.

Aemond is not here long enough or often enough to notice that they plague her often.

The Dowager Queen would have the answer. His mother's quiet tones would say they plague her every night he is away from their home and their loving marriage bed. Would say she cries herself to sleep in the great, empty room until she goes to retrieve their daughter who does not understand where her brother has gone and why won't her parents fetch him. When little Celeste is not with her mother, she is with her grandmother. Never alone. Not anymore.

Aemond's hands are the warmest thing she's felt next to how Silverwing's scales feel against her cheek and slowly draw her back into the present, away from the horrors of the memories. She blinks and looks into Aemond's concerned gaze. His sapphire eye captures to low light from the dying fire and the fear and concern etched on her husband's face pulls another helpless sob from her, his name cracking on her voice as she leans into him. As if her fear has manifested her savior in the way it had not been able to do before before before.

"Aemond," she sobs against the warm skin of his shoulder, sounding so much like a little girl, like their lonely daughter, like the little girl who'd sobbed after her family had died. His grief and rage spurn him and Vhager to scour the Riverlands and beyond to find the man who sent the orders, and Abrogail would not deny her husband his grief even if they are paying the price again. His name rips from her throat again. Her thin shift does little to keep her warm, or disguise how thin she feels despite being heavy with child. This little one who will be born in joy and grief of equal measure.

Vhagar's lowing roar echoes through the night, followed by the lighter, mournful answer from Silverwing.

Accusations have been hurled between them until there's nothing left. Blame and rage are left for the likes of Rhaenyra and her monstrous husband, leaving their little family bereft of their first born and filling the space instead with anger and distance.

How long have you been having nightmares like this?

His fingers are pushing the tangled web of curls sticking to her damp cheeks and she finally, finally focuses on his face. Her fingers come up to trace his scar, cold and shaking down his jaw. So different from how she'd lay in his arms, sated and sweet and trying to memorize his features by touch alone.

"Too long," is her whispered, rasping answer.

Too long. Please don't leave again.

Oh god, oh fuck, oh no; the parallels between Jean at the beginning of tsc panicking and telling Wymack "I want to go home" and Jean at the end of tsc falling apart after finding out his baby sister has died, telling Neil the same thing.

"I want to go home."

He is only nineteen

"I can fix him" I can accept him as who he turned out to be and take the blame for every atrocity he will ever commit because he was the literal sun shining over me and I will do anything for him to smile again
