[fictionkinfessions]

My darling fiancée, when asked which kin I should write a Valentine's kinfession for, said I should write one to him specifically. I, lesbianically, accept the challenge. For all our many lives together. And so, I must apologize for the length of this letter.

To Dina: Love of my life. You're so amazing that lifetimes later I still can't believe you were into me too. You made JJ, the most amazing little guy to ever grace the planet Earth (much less the city of Jackson). You were a bombshell, you were the coolest person I ever met, and Lev'orli was the other part of Luciferon we didn't know they needed. I love you, babe. I always love you.

To Yennefer: My other half. The family I always wanted but never knew until you were in my arms. The mother of Ciri, the one who taught her to be the beautiful and amazing woman she grew up to be. The most amazing sorceress to ever exist. The raven-haired woman who saved me from myself on more occasions than one. I was never a man of many words, but I could continue saying them about you for an eternity. Our fates are bound, wish or no wish. I am yours, if you will have me.

To the SS Aurora: My ship. I will always be your mechanic. I will always pull you from yourself and hold you. I will always be yours. I will always come back to you. I'm sorry I left. Forgive me? Forgive me?

To Harley Quinn: Have I expressed enough times my love for you, Harleen? I married you. We raised our girls together. You recovered from all that hurt you, we got to live the life we both wanted. Perhaps we ran into trouble along the way, but don't you prefer it like that? I sometimes look at you and shudder. Not because of anything bad, but because I had you and you're still mine. I'm yours, too. We are each other's because of the life we made together. Isn't that amazing? Isn't it special? Our family is still everything to me. Even if I just had you, it would still be everything.

To Persephone: Oh, my wife. My lonesome wife who heralds the spring and always cycles in and out of reach. I will always wait for winter to come so I can find you at my side again. I will always long for you when you leave for the break of day. We orbit one another, my love, and we will always be together.

To Rose: Your Cinders will come for you, my love.

To Sasha: Fuck, you're still everything. I mean, we started as an act, right? We were the quarterback and the most popular girl in school. It was meant to be, for that. But then you were in that dress. We were good together. I mean good for real. And then we got to dive into what made us the messes we were. We were good at it. You helped me find out who I was, under all of it. You were a once in a lifetime chance, baby, and I'm glad I held on tight.

To Sophie: What is there to say? You saved me. You made me a better woman. You are the star in my night sky, the sun in my day, the one who wakes me up in the morning and shows me there's still good in the world. I love you, Sophie Hatter. I hope I've said it enough times for it to sink in.

To my TARDIS: You took me so many places. You were always there, even when I was alone. You saw the worst of me and still loved me enough to run away with me. You kept my loved ones safe. My love.

To Rose Tyler: Love of my life. I had more than one, I know, but you really blow me away. Willing to give up everything to save me? Three times? I'm so glad we got our happily ever afters. You deserved to see everything the universe had to offer, and then some. Two universes was never going to be enough to contain you. My hearts were yours from the moment you stepped onto the TARDIS, and they remain yours to this day. I can't wait to see what you do next. I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

To Patience: Our life together was so sweet. I will never forget you and the way our family grew under your care and love. You were my first love, my first real love, and that sort of love never leaves you. Not when everyone dies, when the war is over and the dust settles and nothing is left. The love is still there. The way you understood when I knew I had to go, to take Susan with me and keep her safe. Your brilliance and your understanding are what kept me going in my first four hundred years, you know. They still do.

To Link: My knight. My eternal protector. You really didn't need to do all that. I asked you not to. But you still came. You still protected me. You still came to my side when I berated you. And out of that came the best relationship I'd ever had — not just a friend, but a true companion. Someone who I could slide in with and always feel safe. That's what you are, Link. My safety.

To Juno: My detective in shining blaster pistol. Mother of my children, dashing lady who's saved me time and again. The one who saved me from myself, in fact. Pulled me out of the grasp of foul capitalism and gave me a life away from who I had been for somebody else all those years. Do you know what it is? To be free? After being held back for so long? Juno, I don't know what you think you are to me, but whatever it is, magnify it ten thousand times. You are perfect. I have known I have loved you since the day we met and that hasn't changed because we've changed. I don't need the fire of newly discovered passion, I have the security of knowing we love one another. That we will always be each other's. That I can be myself without you, too. Juno I need you to know that you are not my other half, that we are whole on our own, but that my life is only half as worthwhile to live if it doesn't have you to share it. I'm never letting you go.

To Wyll: The Blade of Frontiers, all mine. I'm afraid you'll soon discover I'm not the wordsmith you are. With your poetry and your little words. You're a romantic, Wyll Ravengard, and you've enraptured me with your earnestness and…love. There was a time I'd never have believed it. Hells, there's a time I'd never have believed I deserved it. You proved me wrong. You proved that a vampire and a monster hunter can not only meet and love one another but make one another better along the way. You proved that I, of all people, can mother and somehow be half decent at it. Let's do it all over again, shall we, darling?

To Tahir: There's two letters I should write here. Instead, I already know you know. I'm sorry, and I'm glad we have one another.

To Louis: You are the only being I trust, and whom I love, above and beyond myself. All my love belongs to you. You are its keeper. This isn't quite as true as it used to be, but you are still my eternal companion. I love you. I have always loved you. I will love you until the moment I die, until the moment you leave and leave me wanting again. I will love you when you are far away, I will love you when you are in my arms, and I will ache with your absence. Our lives are intertwined, as they ever shall be, and I would have it no other way. I will weave myself into the fabric of your life until you cannot remove me, for that is the only way we may both be sated for this hunger that was born between us the day I laid eyes on you. It took us so much time, but we found one another again. We shall meet on every shore, mon cher, and in every avenue. I will give you everything, as I always have, and I can only hope that through my love you find the happiness we both crave. There is a cavity in my chest that can only be filled by the love that we share, and I forever trust you to fill it.

Happy Valentine's Day. And since you wanted me to ask, I'll ask: will you be my Valentine, love? #🌿🏹🩸
