ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???

Just like that, everything she had dared hope and dream for had shattered before her eyes. She should have felt triumphant, standing over the still-cooling corpse of Gortash as she had with her other victories — but she had waited for that elation to come. It never did. It was funny how quickly that one fucking thing she had to look forward to hadn't made her life instantaneously better. Karlach had hoped that defeating him would open up so many doors. She would be able to return home, start up the life she'd dare to tell Minthara about when she had taken her out to see the city, showed her her favourite food spot, strived and clawed for that normalcy that had all gone swirling down the cistern. Karlach remembered how she'd unwound herself from the tangle the two had made of themselves the night before, when they had made love with the knowledge that tomorrow she might be free. Gloated, almost.

What a fucking idiot she was.

All defeating him had done was force her to realise that her grave still yawned before her, and the hopelessness of it all had her considering jumping on in. That was what awaited her, was it not? The choice of death or hell? Karlach had seen the intimacies of hell, and she would sooner die than return. She would be too hot to touch again. She would have to fight even fucking harder because she'd dared to break free of the chains that had bound her to Zariel. Her favourite fucking champion. The anger at it all had gotten the better of her, and she'd believed that Dammon — that golden hearted genius — would find a way to fix her before she was presented with the choice of leave or die. It was not his fault, either.

She was tired. That emptiness felt like an ever-growing cavern in the center of her that threatened to swallow everything that wasn't the grief. If she had believed in the Gods before, she had lost whatever faith she might've had over these past few hours. Karlach felt her engine groan and creak in a way that it hadn't since the Shadowcursed lands as it struggled through it all. Stupid fucking thing.

In these past few hours, she had gone through two of the five stages of grief. Denial. When she had focused on what was immediately in front of her. Anger. As she had shown in the aftermath of Enver's death. Skipped bargaining. That would fall on deaf ears. Karlach had stagnated on the depression and there she would remain until she burned to soot and cinder, or she was back and alone in the hells.

Gods, she felt like such a child.

But she had barely left girlhood when the option of her future had been viciously snatched from her. Her tale of woe, while more complicated than others, was hardly something entirely unique. Minthara was good at saying all of the right things. They would not fix her so she could stay with her and discover what freedoms life could truly give her. The life she had dared to dream with her, once they had pushed past the notion that their offspring would consist of nothing but a really mean goat, and right into the possibility of a family, how they would raise them, how they would teach them how to defend themselves so they didn't fall into the same old shit Karlach had.

Fuck, how she sank into that comfort. Minthara touched her face and Karlach turned her head into the warmth of her palm. She felt sick. The hand that tangled fingers into her own was gripped, and she tugged her into her as she dragged her into an another bone-crushing hug. Minthara was not some soft, delicate maiden by any means, but she was important to her in a way that made her careful. Even when she drowned in the depths of her own self-pity.

Company in the hells. What a nice thought. There was a part of her that wanted to urge her to chase those dreams they had shared only last night as they basked in the afterglow. That was the selfless part. The selfish part craved the absence of loneliness and she knew that Minthara knew that well enough. This was no time for selflessness.

"Yeah?" Karlach's voice sounded thick in a way that she loathed. "If push comes to shove, you'd walk right on into hell with me? For me?"

❛   even now, after all you’ve done, you can still go home.  lucky you . ❜  

First she had arrived to her tent, seeking Karlach out but had found nothing but the empty canvas. Her being absent from her lodgings were in itself not the usual aspect, but the presence of Clive who had remained propped against the tent pole was. Minthara, and the entirety of the camp really, was aware of how upset she was leaving the bridge. And rightly so, Minthara had many thoughts on Gortash - the Champion of Bane. On one end, there had been opportunity in the offer that he had in ruling as the Absolute. On the other hand there is concern for Karlach and the atrocity he had committed against her.

And for the first time in her life, Minthara finds herself standing at a sort of paradox that she has never faced before. Vengeance, for all intents and purposes, had been a constant in her existence. It was the very oath that she had taken up in the face of the injustices performed against her own person, completed with each strike down of the Chosen Three. She swore once that she would find Orin, and that she would murder her, and that she would smile as she died - for that in itself was vengeance. A sweet sentiment as she knew it, even in Menzobarranzan when she performed the same in Lolth's name.

Yet upon witnessing Karlach cut down her own Orin, she did not revel, she did not show satisfaction, and most of all she did not smile. Instead she had raged, and raged, and once the flame had died away, there was only sadness, heartbreak. This pained Minthara to see, even now as she settles next to her - as she looks upon that usually spirited gaze - extinguished as was her extinguishing heart.

"No. Karlach." She starts, tone soft to reflect the tender sentiment she felt toward her - and it was now she rests a hand over hers. Turning to face her in all of her in all of her rightful melancholy, in all of her possible fury, and most heartbreakingly of all, her broken spirit. Perhaps with a single touch - she could try to mend that shattered heart together. Even if it scorched the skin and sinew from Minthara's bones, Karlach will know that she is loved and loved dearly. "My home is here, with you." And she looks between them as tender extremities course through red scarred knuckles. In truth, whatever home she had left in Menzobarranzan was gone - long gone. "Do not give up now. Not when we have faced so much together."

"And this? This is no different, Karlach." And now she touches her face, a palm the rest along her cheek as a thumb caresses along her skin, drawing her eye to her before she rests her forehead against hers. "And whatever comes out way, you are not alone. We will face this too, together."
