[spearsndragons]

hiii!

I know that Hourglass is progressing in its central plot, but is there any chance that the couple Oberyn and Cersei will happen in the story? It's a very "what if" couple, but I love them and I also asked why in the embers of the Sunset Embers, they are also a couple and for some reason for me, the two stories are interconnected!

And I just wanted to make it clear that I love your fanfics <3

And also while I'm at it, I can't help but make it clear that I loved the fact that Elia's father is simply a Targaryen! rhaegar definitely had someone to take after lol! In fact, taking advantage of this point in my comment, I have a deja vu between Rhaelia and Elia's parents that probably only works in my mind, but I would really like to know your opinion as the creator of all this :)

ps: i'm sorry for the messy comment, I'm new to tumblr and I literally just discovered this function for asking questions on the blog lol

HELLO HELLO!!! IM SO HAPPY YOU DROPPED A MESSAGE HEHE always so good to hear from readers

and about the two stories being “interconnected,” that makes total sense cause for me, it’s the same! like they’re all just alternate universes of each other lmaooo

yes, cersei and oberyn will happen! basically when i write about one couple in one story, they’ll also be present in another. i’m kinda one dimensional in that way because i only like particular ships LOL

i’m so happy you liked maegor being elia’s dad! it’s something a lot of my readers commented on too, so i’m glad that headcanon has good reception!!!

please feel free to message or ask me anything!

horizon can be glad about their prosthetics all they want but how much of it is from this?

At least iman respects her late ex husband unlike Priscilla who’s mooching off Elvis anyway she can because she has nothing else to do in fact Priscilla is problematic herself

OH IM SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT OLD BAG ANON!!! i can’t even begin to explain my hatred for priscilla that witch. the things ive seen in lisas book (haven’t read the full thing) breaks me. like…who does that to their child?? the moment i saw that old hag fight her own grandchild for graceland was the moment i realized she ain’t shit lmaooo. telling your child you wanted to abort her, not giving a shit when your boyfriends molesting your daughter…what kind of mother is that? and priscilla is still going around and saying awful things about her ex husband mj. like that man’s dead why do you still care that much. it’s so clear she still needs attention desperately but like…it’s pathetic. mind you this woman was divorced from elvis when he died but the way she’s going you’d think those two were still married. she’s so annoying i wish riley would stop letting her barge in on these book tours she’s irrelevant. like i know that’s her grandmother but it’s just so awkward seeing them interact tbh. especially when she went on that tirade about michael you could see riley wanted to interject and tell her to cool it.

meanwhile iman is cool, calm, collected and always makes sure to talk nicely about david and keep it to a minimum. iman is a pretty private person already, like david was, and she knows how to properly secure his legacy without being dramatic and annoying like priscilla. i know i went on a whole tirade about priscilla but that woman bothers me to hell.

Few things I have to say *clears throat*

the megumi sex pollen fic was so perfect. i love the way you characterize him!! he was so sweet, funny, frustrating, and interesting as a character and the way he thought through his feelings was written really well. i also love how you characterized the reader as being kinda an oddball but also a good friend to megs who clearly cared about him. despite the fact that the sex pollen fic technically made it dubcon i really enjoyed that you made it effect them both and that they were still talking even under its effects. the romance of it all genuinely had me punching my pillow bc oh my god megumi is so in love with angst when reader is right in front of him petting his dogs and caring about him so well while he’s brooding. he’s hilarious i love him and i love how u spotlighted gojo in the fic as a funny parental figure who clearly is trying his best and who cares for megumi. overall the fic really made me feel warm and fuzzy and i love how confident your writing is. you had so many good lines and yet the entire fic felt really tightly composed with a clear direction. i love that about your writing and i can’t wait for the other fics you’re writing to be posted :))

WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! WAHHHH!!!!!!

first of all, thank u sm for being kind about my characterization of megumi. ill be so honest i was stressed as fuck trying to write him bc he is SO angsty but hes also like unnecessarily intense in a way i have a hard time describing completely LMAOOO. so i was SUPERRR worried the entire time it was too ooc… and im glad u liked reader too. her personality is unique fs… definition of unserious but she rlly adores megs equally

IM OVERJOYED U LIKED THE CONVO BETWEEN WAVES … i was super worried it was too unsexy so its good to hear. megumi my broody lovesick pining angel…. and gojo my utterly ridiculous sensei figure who meddles immensely… the writing feeling clear in direction makes me so happy… anon we are kissing gently

sosa bean what’re you doing tonight my love !! are there any wips you’re excited about or enjoying a lil writers break this winter :3 ilu always mwah mwah

ah my frilly dilly bean has come to visit me once more <3 i was watching anime but now im listening to music while here on tumblr when i SHOULD be sleeping 😓😓 i do in fact have a handful of wips im excited about so i’m glad you asked 🫧 i need to actually clear out old wip’s i haven’t touched in a while, and those that i have admitted to myself that im probably not gonna work on anymore LMAOOO. some fics im excited about and planning :

pervert! sai ( from naruto :P)

serial killer! nanamin

a fic about trevor belmont kinda like enemies to lovers but not really? one night stands will be involved. based on 90s r&b song.

a fic about alucard and belmont!reader set right before castlevania nocturne

a fic about the other alucard from hellsing. he’s a disgruntled cynical college professor in my version <3

multi chap fic about sasuke uchiha ( mainly be on ao3 )

perhaps a lil something for a member(s) of the batman universe

neuvillette at a ball <3

so yeah !! i have things cooking but most of these ideas might turn out into longer fics that require a bit more time and effort 😣

[maschotch]

I LOVE your takes on jj because as a woman of colour i totally agree. she is very much a white feminist who gets away with breaking protocol all the time. although I don’t believe she is a lesbian at all, she is very much straight. it’s been confirmed her and will will have some sexy scenes in the reboot.

what are your thoughts on what she did to will in 14x15 and how she hid it from him in the next episodes to come?

akdhakdh im glad SOMEONE agrees bc omg no one ever fucking talks ab her specific brand of white feminism. all her girl!boss moments are so targeted and do more to uphold gender stereotypes than anything, and the attitude she has towards people outside the realm of her own experience… oof. she acts like she knows it all but she’s from a teeny town surrounded by people with teeny minds and her worldview reflects that!! her stubborn personality means she refuses to admit she’s wrong or doesn’t know something (and if its clear she doesnt know something, she makes it seem like the other person is a weirdo for knowing it) so she never really grew outta that mindset. very white feminism. she can say “im not racist im not racist” all she wants, but the writers cant seem to break past that very limited view of feminism. its just icky to see :/ and its icky to see so many people obsess over her character without acknowledging any of that

lmaooo yeah in canon she’s very straight. i just like to interpret it as closeted lesbian behavior. the lashing out, settling down with the first man she can, resenting him from the start, etc. and her trying so hard to repress that to maintain the image of the conservative white woman would sorta explain why she hasnt tried to question any of the values she grew up with. if she’s scared, she’s not gonna stand up for herself or for others. it doesnt justify anything she does, it just explains it a little bit more. its slightly less infuriating than her just being racist/ableist for the hell of it

god honestly i try my best to pretend the whole jeid thing never happened lmao. the writers were really grasping at straws considering the way she treats him. and reid being “her first love” oh my godddd shut upppp. and super fucked up of them to leave will out of it entirely?? like itd be one thing if the writers forgot about him or were trying to brush him aside, but he’s literally there w their kids in the hospital hugging spencer. “oh she’d be glad you’re here” “she’d want to see you” like he’s so fuckin understanding and we just have to sit here and watch him get cucked

[away-ward]

Yea sure i dont mind you posting my ask on your page. Adding to my post before, i think its also interesting how rika's response to willalex was THAT, because its true, no one really knows will bcs 1. Will himself never really opened up to anyone everything about himself except for emmy, 2. They just never cared enough to get to know him above whatever shallow perception of him that he put in front of them. I still cant stand the fact that they didnt expect will to pull that blackchurch move bcs huhhh?? Why couldnt he? Was i shocked when i read that scene? Sure, but not bcs i thought he was incompetent like how his friends thought him yk. So i dont think its really fair to blame rika or any of his friends either for the way they saw him, bcs will was also an active willing participant in these scenarios and his personality in front of them. His friends shouldnt be heavylifting his place in the family iykwim. They all should work together, not against each other (*cough* ofc they wouldnt understand shit like this in the earlier books *cough* lmaooo).

I also hate the fact that will is so babied by their friends and the dn fandom as if he wasnt one of the most white privileged guy in the town, terrorising people just bcs he was privileged enough to do so. Like this man be doing weirdest shit, recording them, and he be having EVERYTHING in this world BUT EMMY, yet people always wanna act like he was this poor victim just because in the monologue he kept on simping over em. There was really no ounce of responsibility and accountability in that man's thoughts. He kept on blaming EVERYONE (and himself to a certain extent) for all bad things happening to him, AS IF HE WASNT A WILLING PARTICIPANT HIMSELF. GOD!!!! GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck im so mad, sorry 🤣 and the fandom, with their two misagonistic braincells ofc be siding with will and be excusing him, as if for the past three books, he wasnt busy being shit to women and men around him just bcs his monologue was about how much he loves em 🤢 like bffr!!! And they hate em too, and be simping over damon, just bcs 1. She was mean to will, 2. She never came back for will. You understand what i mean with double stanrds and purity culture applied to women here? They speak AS IF will spent his time since he left her in that hallway 1. Not being mean to her, 2. Finding ways to be by her side and not fucking around girls in town right 🤣 they be saying this as if he was the poorest man in the world, when emmy was the one living opposite life of him. Even after knowing some shady shit happened to her, he STILL EXPECTED HER TO BE ACCOMMODATING TO HIM! God, name a more selfish bastard than will grayson!! Oh yeah, damon torrance, lmfaooooo!

And the fact that the horsemen and alex couldnt understand that just bcs will was a nice friend to them, doesnt mean he was a nice guy to em?! Stupid as fuck!! God! Will was there for each one of his friend, but was he ever there for em? No! So ofc they were in his life, not em (Understandable tho that he left bcs em rejected him in a degrading way) And he regretted that shit! He regretted leaving her even if she made it clear he didnt owe her anything (unlike will who was entitled to her and essily blamed her because "love" and now he can put a label and resentment to her rejection). His regret was Even mentioned during the michael's bridegroom prep, with kai offering him alcohol.

And on this note, if em can understand that just bcs aydin wasnt as shitty to em as he was to alex, then why cant alex understand that it goes the same for will to em? Alex was a hypocrite for that. Will even obvious bcs he can fuck around town (alex too), but god forbid some other men looked like they were into em, oooohhhh shes the selfish bitch? Wow! Amazing! Im glad that em called out alex every time bcs she needed that after getting her ass fanned by the cowgirls every time. We're told that alex is this girls supporting girls, but she suddenly became early hideaway banks/ corrupt rika in blackchurch? The fuck? Jealousy really changes people! Its not even ems fault, it was on aydin, she just wanted to use em as a punching bag. Coward. Em never once did that to her even after everything will said about will alex. Fuck these guys honestly. Emory scott always deserve better.

Unpopular opinion, i like aydin in blackchurch. Em needed someone like aydin at that stage of life so that mfs like will alex dont cross her boundaries too much. Em can stand for herself but sometimes her personality can blindside her and let others treat her like dogshit just because she doesnt have much love for herself yet, and she prefrrd to avoid confrontation bcs of her ptsd with martin. Im glad aydin, even in his own selfish agenda against alex, took ems side and helped her many times there, even in his own twisted ways. Ngl, if damon saw will alex be treating em like this, he wouldnt let it slide either. He wouldve beat them up and told them off so 🤷‍♀️ the horsemen and alex's fans are not gonna like what i said, but i said what i said. Im well aware of emmy's flaws and ive accepted that shes not this mary sue character a while ago, but i cant stand this fandom who always act as if shes the top 3 worst characters among them just bcs she was busy dealing with life all on her own. Were the cowgirls annoying sometimes? Sure? Was alex sometimes? Sure. But i cannot imagine disliking the girls, even alex, more than the horsemen. Like even after the girls fucked up, they always made up. yea thats all for the addition. Thank you so much for listening! Sorry thats its so long

Pt 2

[velvetyh]

it’s meiiii

oh! that sounds SOOO nice, i’m glad that you’re back in your hometown, chilling for a few days. hope that you’re enjoying your time <33 you deserve it !

no like, i get what you mean. i HATE these kind of situations SO much bc it lowkey feels like you need to idk… “sacrifice” something. like, you like the job itself but your colleagues not so much (or at all), so it’s like - you either let go of the good job in order to keep your peace of mind OR you tolerate ugly people so you can keep the good job… sigh…

i can’t only pray for you and hope that some clarity gets send to you. and you should know that whatever decision you take, it's okay, it's the right one - don't regret it, don't look back and think "i should have...", no, you took a decision that, at the time you did, you believed was the right one ! that’s it, don’t look further into it. and remember, sometimes we must let go of certain things, of certain opportunities, close a few doors so new ones can open ! believe in yourself, babe. you got this <3

GIRL be so fr, you’re talking to someone with a PhD in yapping lmaooo we should probably use messages more often so we actually gossip about our lives and so 🙂‍↕️

i knowwwww, tumblr has become SOOO demotivating ))’: like… almost no one interacts any more, very few people reblog and leave tags commenting on your posts, it is so sad actually.

also, i’d love for you to give me an honest (not brutal, just honest😔) review on my last cobtober chap cause’ i actually lowkey hated the result… and it just made me want to never again write “sub” jacob, like ever 😭 ITS JUST NOT FOR ME

thank you so much, you’re so sweet ily :( i’m also grateful to be back home but it’s so hard to stay only a week there 🥹

im trying to chill but with my dad around, its not that easy :// but i try nonetheless!!

yeah, i really feel like i need to choose between having a good job and shitty colleagues or nice colleagues and a shitty job… plus if you switch jobs to another company, hoping for change, you never know if it’s going to be better, or worse. my current colleagues are nice (most of them), but i know they wouldn’t hesitate to stab me in the back if it could get them a promotion or appear nice to the boss. so i just stay professional and distant, but then i get remarks that im not opening up enough to my colleagues and i don’t want to integrate myself in the team. im not going to give weapons to my "enemies" to stab me!!

it’s really sweet of you to keep me in your prayers, it really means a lot to me 🫶🏼🥺 it’s hard for me to have some clear-headedness in this cloudy part of my life, i play it by ear and it’s really not that easy when you have very various opinions around you, telling you to do this and that or no wait, do this and that instead.

your words really mean the world to me :( i made some decisions in the past that made me doubt myself and i still feel guilty about them today… thank you, really 🫶🏼

i love how easy it is to talk to you, youre so sweet and i love getting messages from you !! we should totally message more sissldfjsns id really love to!

yeah, it’s so sad how tumblr has become a ghosted place… i know i didn't help the cause bc i kinda disappeared for a year bc of writer’s block but i hadn't expected the place to be this deserted lol

i know i said id give you feedback on your project yesterday (im so sorry i haven't said anything yet) but my mom dragged me to her friend’s house to say hello and i was unable to touch my phone for the day. today im going shopping so when i get back home ill write you an ask about it (honest, not brutal 🫶🏼) so you can choose whether you want to post it or keep it for yourself 🫶🏼

[m1ckeyb3rry]

That answers my question I just completely forgot to send it in omfg I CANNOT let myself get distracted while replying anymore I literally like almost deleted this note thinking I already sent it in goodbye.

But anyways���.……

LMFAOOO THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT!!! You’ll be the first to know if I ever actually start using it HAHA honestly you’d probably end up answering some boomer like tumblr questions of mine bc I’m ngl why’s there sm on this platform HAHA now that I think about it though I straight up just don’t post anywhere maybe I should start changing that…..

NO SO TRUE because I just KNOW they’re picking the juiciest stories like I’m not scrolling through that subreddit myself HAHA

Just doing my part for the Karasu community!!! Gotta kick start it somewhere yk hopefully I’m inspiring people to talk and request Karasu more often!!!! LMAO wait that’s actually kinda crazy though HAHAHA I guess the Hiori requester sniffed out your secret side character vibes before I did smh….lowk that is interesting though?? Ok my thought process was definitely 1) ok she knows Kaiser so she’s def read the manga 2) she has no character limits so I’m just gonna shoot my shot (it worked out in the best possible way omg) I’ve def seen blogs that only write for the main characters ****itoshis but a good amount of them do out only a specific handful of characters in their request rules….wait actually pause I think the main tipping point for me is actually when I ended up reading cherry tree and was like no fucking way Karasu mention??? Time to test the waters because I kid you not I loved the way you did cherry tree but I was also so fucking hooked on the Karasu cameo I was like oh em gee….karasu mention and HE TALKS?? Guys….so yeah!! Actually that also jogs my memory and clears up my own thoughts of how I first found you (again…??) my memory’s kinda bad if you couldn’t tell HAHAHA

Ok……Mira really trying to solidify the shower evidence…sus…/j

THATS WHAT IM SAYING HAHAHAAH ok but like I was a little surprised that they were the color scene I thought it would’ve been some Kaiser Isagi Rin looking thing with maybe mini side characters in the bg kinda like your current header! Stop did we just manifest ego glow up too??

That’s funny because I also haven’t watched but ik what you’re talking about because I remember seeing people freak out over it LMAOOO BUT FR omg shin ah so gorgeous??? Also omfg you’re so right??? The side by side of Hak and hair down zantetsu….the resemblance is uncanny….but FR S2 being my real male leads into the spotlight please….

Tbh I don’t have high hopes for the fandom but we’ll know in our hearts that Karasu is just a closeted sweetheart loser!!! Ok the Nagi cheater allegations and red flags are actually INSANE like how tf??????????? I seriously have no idea what people are on do you think bro even has the energy to cheat……

LMAOO you’re giving them a reality check on everyone’s behalf we thank you for your service o7

Honestly pop off LMAOO like who’s gonna go challenge your parents sooo also wtf????!!!! BRO DID WHAT???!!!! wtf I literally have no words what the helllllllll glad you’re safe now but omg I hope you never have to experience something like that again….um wdym you have more stories like that??????????? Idk if you’ve ever seen those wild tiktok sponsored posts of like this weird pheromone attractive perfume I think you need creep repellent you’re rizz is too strong…..wtf…..also ENJOY SWITZERLAND!!!!!

But omg another storm shshshs stay safe??? Manifesting your electricity holds up from now on HAHA I’d imagine there aren’t storms in Switzerland rn so….

-Karasu anon

LMAOO no i always get so distracted that ‘save draft’ button is my savior when it comes to answering asks but ik you can’t really do that when sending them 😭 if i ever take more than like a day to respond without explanation feel free to send a check-in ask because that means i’m either being unprecedented levels of offline or i just didn’t get it/see it!!

tumblr takes soo long to get a hang of i will be happy to answer any boomer questions of yours as i probably had the same questions when i first began using the app!! i will always be here for the reveal if/when it comes

i guess the side character vibes i give off are too strong…also hiori made a cameo in cherry tree alongside otoya and karasu so they might’ve made a similar journey as you LMAOAO especially because they mentioned in the request that they had read and liked cherry tree!! that’s so funny that that fic (which i wrote for the most basic character ever) is what led to side character fans finding me!! omg no because tbh there was no reason for karasu to be the one talking in that scene but i was starving and desperate to write him and i thought he could pull it off and now i’m so glad i did that!! and yeah a lot of people tend to only write for a few characters which i think is fair because i 100% get being uncomfortable writing for characters you’re unfamiliar with 🧐 me personally though…if i’m in a fandom there’s not a character in it I WON’T write for!! if i’m too unfamiliar with them i’ll just do research until i feel decent abt it (that’s what i did for the hiori request hehe read and reread his ln + wiki until i was like “okay i think i can do this”)

I SHOWER I PROMISE I SHOWER (not clickbait!!)

maybe this means the NEL arc is ending soon?? like they’re putting all of the coaches in the color spread because we won’t see them again for a while…honestly i really liked this (much more exciting than the last epinagi one) and i’m happy it wasn’t the kaiser + isagi + rin combo again!! all of the coaches are really interesting to me as they all show diff pitfalls of professionals sports (chris + vanity, snuffy + depression/burnout, loki + selfishness, lavinho + immaturity iirc?? and noa + being boring af /j) honestly i could read a spinoff abt all of them too!! and omg ego glow up too…we sensed the vibes in the air and we knew egonation was about to RISE

SHINAH MY BELOVEDDD omg i actually once started a fic for him that was the precursor for hurricanes / hummingbirds in many ways and i still think abt it sometimes but like the fandom for yotd is so nonexistent that i never got the motivation to finish it!! but i think i answered an ask abt it as part of a tag game once here if you’re in the mood for some mira writing while waiting for bfb!! no but the resemblance between zantetsu and hak is uncanny omg team v trio is actually team shoujo trio all of them look like they deserve to be male leads…zantetsu in a historical fantasy shoujo, nagi in a high school slice of life but also mental health focused shoujo, and reo in a ceo romance shoujo SKDJFHS they’re all so bf i love them

we will always know the truth abt karasu and that’s what matters 😩 no because i need to know…do the nagi cheater/red flag (which are unrelated to his laziness) allegations stem from him “leaving” reo during second selection?? because if so that’s insane to me there’s such a difference between joining a different soccer team and cheating on your romantic partner 😭 in epinagi even reo himself acknowledges that he SHOULD be happy for nagi and nagi is so ‘no thoughts head empty’ about it LKDFJGNS bro fr was putting the pieces together like isagi…”play soccer with isagi -> get better at soccer -> win world cup with reo 😄” HOW IS THIS A RED FLAG???

LMAOOO it’s so bad i feel like looking back my time in high school just sounds unreal?? i sent a picture of my eye to another guy i was friends with (in the same friend group as the other two ironically) to show him my new mascara and no joke he responded with an entire verse comparing my eyes to “the heavens” 😭⁉️ and there was also a point in my senior year when i kinda liked a junior on the soccer team (so bfb reader of me but like. reversed.) but for some reason everyone shipped me with the captain of the soccer team?? like people would harass my FRIENDS asking if i liked him…meanwhile i liked mr junior varsity who didn’t even get playtime 😓 it was so bad too i went to a soccer game and everyone thought i was attending to watch the captain, INCLUDING THE GUY I WAS INTO 😐 i went up to congratulate him after the game and bro fr said “did you see the captain play he was amazing” i just left at that point because what can you even do…these are relatively tame in terms of mira lore sadly KJSHGHDFK this is why i have never had a boyfriend or first kiss or anything like that 💔 they’re all CRAZY 😱

SWITZERLAND SOON!! unfortunately my dreams of finishing bfb before my flight are definitely not coming true sooo ig i know what i’m doing for the entire plane ride!! hopefully the lack of distractions will help me finish it up and then i can just proofread in my downtime and hopefully post at some point soon…feel like i’ve been teasing you all for so long but i promise it will be long enough to make the wait worth it (i hope anyways)

timid love

pairing: bertholdt hoover x gn!reader

tags: childhood best friends to lovers, pure fluff, shy bertholdt, all lower case, cheesy cliché trash i wrote in a sleep deprived state, this is gn!reader i just chose a random gif lmao

a/n: omfg this is literally so ass i wrote this at 2am when i was very sleep deprived so i apologise for this lmaoo

____________________________________

bertholdt hoover was quiet at the best of times, he was quiet in a way that if you didn't know him, you would get the impression that he wasn't enjoying your company when in fact this wasn't the case at all, y/n knew this, and didn't mind taking the lead in conversations, they knew he preferred to listen.

the two grew up together and formed a comfortable companionship, outsiders saw them as inseparable, a pair, where y/n went bertholdt followed.

such was the case on a boring dreary day after school, the two often studied together, this particular day bertholdt found himself rather distracted from his piling homework. y/n was very obviously struggling with sone trivial question but bertholdt couldn't help but focus on the arch of their brow as they were focusing intently on their work, the way they unconsciously chewed the end of their pen in concentration, the way their eyes, although tired, shine as they jot down their answers. even in these mundane moments he couldn't help but think about how fond he was of them. he wished he could find the words to tell them how he felt, but everytime he tried to put his feelings into words he backed out feeling like a coward.

he wished you knew how much he loved them, everyone else could see it and constantly teased the two about it, he wished they didn't deny their feelings, he wished y/n felt the same way.

y/n felt bertholdt's stare burning into them and gave him a small, gentle smile. "you almost finished bert?" he felt his cheeks heat up as he was caught in the act. bertholdt simply nodded and pretended to read his textbook.

little did bertholdt know that y/n felt exactly the same way. y/n loved bertholdt for as long as they could remember, they wished they could gather up the courage to just ask him out, they had an inkling that he felt the same way, but the embarrassment and humiliation that comes with rejection proved too daunting. they didnt want to ruin the friendship they had if anything happened between them.

"fuck it" y/n thought to themself, and they looked up into bert's deep green eyes, "bertholdt, i really like you, and not just in a friends kind of way" bertholdt's eyes widened in surprise, if he was red in the face before, he thought he must look like a tomato now, he was stunned into silence. "its okay if you don't like me back, in fact its probably better that way, let's just forget i even said anything" y/n nervously blurted.

bertholdt felt himself begin to panic internally, he was shocked, "y/n actually likes me back" he thought. in the backround he could still hear y/n ranting on. bertholdt gathered up all his courage, remembering the advice his 'wingman' reiner had given him previously and shut y/n up with a timid peck on the lips.

y/n immediately stopped talking and returned the kiss, in complete disbelief that this was actually happening.

bertholdt nervously cleared his throat and said "i like you too y/n... im sorry i couldn't tell you earlier, but i do, and i have for a long time now" taking y/n's hand in his larger one and looking into their eyes. y/n just widely smiled and kissed his cheek glad they finally came clean about their feelings for each other.

THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN LONG AND SWEET. 

Stretched days, sun kissing skin, peace in the realm. Days unencumbered by anything more than his regular duties, Jacaerys Velaryon has begun to wonder if the changing of winter might bring forth anything of interest to the kingdoms.

A goblet falls to the ground near the table - a glance behind him, he moves to pick up the fallen wine cup and sets it on the servant girl’s tray, insisting gently and with a warm look to placate her apology. She sends a bow and he nods back.

Sweat beads at the nape of his neck and he gently wipes it from his hair as the cacophony of scraping silver and sharp laughs echoes through the hall. Yes, the summer has been fine; Though, as wonderful as Jace finds the warmth, he wishes more than anything for the chill breeze of Winter to relieve him from this feast. 

“It is quite warm here.” 

The words hit Jacaerys’ ears like a soft song, a beckon to turn his head. 

The lighting is lower than it once was, and Jace has trouble eyeing the roast that lies before him. The wine in his cup is heavy - Dornish Red, the kind that has left Jace with a fuzzy mind and hot cheeks; Though perhaps that has more to do with the girl next to him tonight. 

Respond, she said something. He blinks, nodding as he chances a glance at you; your hair looks so nice pulled away from your eyes, where he can see the lines of your face, those sweet lips, curling over a gentle smile. It’s warm in here, so warm. 

"Yes, it is.” He observes - wonderful conversation, Jacaerys. Gods, what is his problem?

Eyes stuck on you, that’s his problem - the cut of your dress is rather stunning, and the way you smile so gently has his stomach warming. 

It is not an unusual thing for a highborn family to visit the keep: Treating with his grandsire, Jacaerys remembers meeting lords and ladies with their children from all stretches of the seven kingdoms since he was no more than a babe. Though he has never once met someone so alluring before you arrived four days ago with bright eyes and a gaze that didn't seem to stop finding him.

Your arrival with your lord father from Riverrun was intended to be a routine matter of diplomacy and courtesy. Jacaerys had been present out of duty, standing attentively to the exchange as his grandsire the King was presented with your family.

He was nearly bored until his gaze fell upon you - an effortless poise as you’d greeted the king with a bow, your stifled smirk concealed with a duck of your head after your younger brother had tripped himself. 

Introductions had been made, formal and courteous. Of course Jace could not help when his heartbeat quickened under your stare; He had been introduced after his mother and Daemon, offering a polite bow and nodding gently despite the sudden rush of nerves as you curtseyed back to him gracefully. 

"It is a pleasure to meet you, my prince."

Though your brothers were brought to train in the sparring courtyard with Jace, it was you who he thought most of and sought out with the small free time he could scrape together. He’s always known his duty and his place, but rarely has he felt such a personal desire to know someone beyond the formalities of court.

Despite his best efforts to remain composed, Lucerys caught on to Jace’s newfound fascination quite quickly. The teasing in private was its own thing, but with Luke making exaggerated sighs and fluttering his eyelashes whenever Jacaerys happened to glance your way during the feast, he is now very nearly ready for the floor to open and swallow him whole. 

Thankfully, his aunt seems to be willing to relieve him of the silence he’d left in the wake of the less-than-engaging response.

“It’s usually much warmer here than it is in the Riverlands, especially on the eve of summer.” Helaena shares, nodding gently; thankful for the reprieve, Jace takes the opportunity to take another gulp of his wine, his eyes meeting his brother’s from across the table briefly. 

Luke’s grin is enough for Jace to poorly conceal an eye roll, glancing sidelong towards where his mother and grandsire sit, conversing with your lord father. 

Unable to resist, he turns back to you. “Have you enjoyed the capital so far?" He can’t help but want to hear your opinion on every single thing, still dizzy from the radiance of your smile, the shifting of your dress as you turn back to him. 

You seem to consider for a moment, grinning almost sheepishly in that way he’s come to notice you sometimes do. "It’s very different from Riverrun, but I quite like it." 

Your brother - of twenty and just one year older than Jacaerys himself, chuckles. "I’m sure she likes the company more." He mutters, nudging the second-born, a boy of seven and ten.

The younger brother has a laugh. "Yes, the princes are quite charming, aren’t they, sister?"

Something warm swirls in his stomach at the teasing words - flattered and slightly sheepish, Jace grins towards the plate below him before schooling himself. Across from him, Joffrey whispers into Luke’s ear. His eyes flicker down the table, where his uncles sit, speaking amongst themselves. A short breath leaves his lungs - at least they weren’t within earshot. 

It is entirely captivating and impressive how you maintain a polite façade, even as Jace notices you kick your brother’s shin under the table, "The company has been very kind." you even wear your smile with poise, proud chin tilted up.

“I’m just impressed she’s made it three sentences without bringing up dragons.”

A hearty laugh follows.

You did bring up dragons, Jace remembers—after he’d introduced himself to you, days ago. You’d asked, uncharacteristically shy as you tucked your hair behind your ear, where they were kept; Jacaerys, struck by your interest, had painfully stuttered his way through a half-brained response. 

He wonders if you’d like to see them.

YOU AGREE RATHER ENTHUSIASTICALLY TO SEE THE DRAGONPIT ONLY A FEW DAYS LATER.

It is a fine morning to be out - a gentle breeze, bringing the smells of the plants along the path to the pit and a hint of the ocean. Arm in his, you’ve fallen slightly behind the others; Jace, murmuring his apology, is pleased to see you shake your head.

 “It’s quite nice with just us,” You placate his heart as your eyes pass over the Hill of Rhaenys, observing the city and the Red Keep just yonder, “I’ve begun to learn that they can be a lot.” You sigh, eyes ahead on Aegon, who stumbles as if inebriated. 

A halt, then - your face has turned, cheeks dark as you shake your head. “Not to insinuate that the Princes are anything but-” 

Some kind of amusement flickers in Jace’s grin as he looks down on you. “If you’re worried about speaking ill of them,” Jace says with a wry grin, “don’t be. They're well aware of it. I have plenty of rather unkind thoughts about my uncles myself." 

You chuckle softly, the sound sending a pleasant shiver down Jace's spine. "I'm sure you would never have any unkind thoughts, my Prince." Your lips drip with tease- a thing you've begun to do a lot more as he's gotten to know you - but your tease is different. Your tease makes him grin like a fool, makes him stammer over his words half the time, but it also makes you smile even wider, talk a bit closer to him. He's come to crave it.

There is a desperate desire to see the way you seem to keen into him when he encourages your words, and so he leans towards you, “Not when I’m in such pleasant company.” He says lowly. 

There is soon a shadow trailing behind you and your response, whatever it may have been, is interrupted by his aunt, who sidles up upon your other side. “Good morrow, Jacaerys, Lady Tully.” She says quietly - Jacaerys nods at her. He’s always quite enjoyed Helaena, even if she can be a bit odd; her serenity and quiet is a welcomed presence whenever he sees her. 

“Hello, Helaena,” He greets her, watching the shadows of you and him morph to three-long as Helaena links her arm with your other; your cloak is a radiant color that nicely contrasts the gold of hers and the deep blue of his own.

The final stretch to the Dragonpit is sweet - Jace, listening as Helaena chats with you about the flora of the Red Keep, your own voice, interested and kind. Slow blossoms a fondness within his chest; he barely notices as Lucerys joins his other side.

“It’s so large,” You stare as you come upon the entrance; Your hair changes color slightly under the massive shadow of the dragonpit - flushed cheeks and slightly out of breath, your hand is still held lightly around his arm. 

His brother, noticing your position on Jace’s arm, sneaks his own hand through Jace’s empty arm; a silent tease as he bats his eyelashes at him.

Hiding a scowl, Jacaerys glares at Luke, swatting his arm and shoving him off his side. Stop it, his eyes hiss; Luke laughs to himself as Helaena tells you about Dreamfyre tranquilly. 

Jacaerys can nearly sense your growing excitement; he can only be pleased he got through the walk to the pit without tripping over his toes or being pestered by any other dawdling member of his family as the guards hold open the entrance; he and Luke gesture for you and Helaena to enter first.

Jace is pleasantly shocked to see you’re more excited than afraid - when he rejoins your side he can just make out a hint of a grin. Your fingers flex and spread over Jacaerys’ bicep; he blushes at the action, but you scarcely notice. 

“It’s huge,” you observe with wide eyes, craning your neck.

“It’s not so scary,” Lucerys promises you kindly; Jace conceals a smirk as you nod politely, grinning at the young prince. “If you say so.” You reply to Luke, “After you, then.” 

Jace turns - your eyes meet his in a small hint of amusement over his brother’s valiant chivalry. He can’t help the smirk as he nods to you in a mockery of his brother, “Yes. Please don’t be scared, my lady.”

Your eyes, fluttering and light as you roll them; a gentle swat to his arm and a laugh before you turn to trail after his brother, Jacaerys watching with a rush of tenderness before following behind you, your cloak gracing his shins as you run to catch up. 

The purple stain of wine upon Aegon's lips make him look ill; a prickle of apprehension trickles through Jace's spine. 

The handlers prepare the dragons for them. Aegon’s eyes rove over you in a way that spurs heat in Jace’s chest, turning to face you, taking in your awed expression.

“I’ve never seen a dragon before,” Your voice is breathless in a way that conjures less than appropriate thoughts Jacaerys must swallow down quick; you stare into the wide cavernous room, inhaling the ancient scent of dragonsmoke. 

 "First time, Lady Tully?” Aegon's voice is not sinister, but Jace knows better than to trust his uncle. He hums, turning to Jacaerys, but before he can run his mouth, Jace acts. "-Mind your tongue," Jace snaps, tone sharp with warning.

Unsurprisingly, this just spurs his uncle further. “Perhaps you should show her your dragon, Jace," Aegon's drunken smirk turns Jacaerys' blood to boil, "I’m sure she’d love to see how big it is." He turns to wink at you.

His nostrils flare. It is one thing to joke about such things around Jace and their brothers, but another to tease in front of a lady. Not here, Jacaerys reminds himself. Do not kill your uncle in front of her. He can see your face flicker from below his shoulder - you're rolling your eyes.

Yet Jace is rooted to the ground in anger; jaw clenching, he breathes heavy through his nose- yet before he can lunge at Aegon and throw a punch, Aemond turns with the hint of a smirk. Surprisingly, he addresses his brother, his tone cool and placating, "Let’s not cause a scene. We have a guest."

"Respect yourself, Aegon, or at least pretend to." Jace hisses, actively suppressing the urge to launch his fist into his uncle's jaw.

But a soft sensation on his side momentarily distracts him from seeing red - "Let's not entertain him," Your lips nearly brush against his neck as you rise on your toes, whispering into his ear. He swallows, willing himself to calm down, because Gods does he like how your breath feels against his cheek.

Aegon, eyes surprisingly clear after staring at his younger brother, scoffs. The tension hangs thick in the air; each person waiting for the handlers to return before visiting their dragons; Jace cannot bear to look at you and instead glares daggers into Aegon.

"I've always loved the smell of dragonfire," Helaena suddenly remarks wistfully, gaze lingering on the mouth of the pit - unexpected, a touch of innocence to her words amidst the strained silence. Aegon clearly becomes bored; distracted, he sniffs the air for his own try at nostalgia over the scent, and Jace glances with gratefulness to his aunt, who plays gently with the rings on her fingers, your voice soft as you ask her about her dragon. 

If there is a moment of hesitation on your part, it is when you first lay your eyes on the creatures. 

You’d watched in shock, plush lips parted as his brother had spoken with the dragon keepers about Arrax; Aegon had approached Sunfyre with a gentle smile and mercifully forgotten of anyone else’s presence. 

“And yours?” Your head tilts, a rhetorical question. Your smile is quite bright; it nearly makes Jace’s heart pound. "This way," he says, guiding you further into the pit. 

Helaena releases your arm with a small pat, allowing Jacaerys to lead you closer to where Vermax rests. At the noise Vermax lifts his head; Jace smiles fondly at the familiar eyes. “Rytsas, Vermax,” He calls as he approaches, greeting his companion. 

You trail just a step behind him, your hand remaining steady against his arm as you stare with wide eyes. "This is Vermax," Jacaerys introduces, unable to keep the affection from his voice, "He’s been with me since I was a babe." 

You turn to Jacaerys, your eyes wide with astonishment. "You’ve had your dragon since you were a child?"

Jace is rather pleased by your interest, nodding. “We rested in crib together.” He says, eager to see as your face changes, a nearly alarmed look flooding your face. “You-” 

He laughs gently at your expression, “As an egg, we shared a cradle. It is when we first came to bond.” 

You blink, turning to stare at the dragon with soft awe, enthralled. “You’ve grown up together.” You say softly, smiling. 

He sees your free hand twitch; with a rush of desire to share his love of Vermax, he leans to your ear. “You can touch him if you like.” 

You stare at his hand, outstretched to guide you to the dragon; Vermax, sensing the gentle curiosity in your demeanor, lowers his massive head slightly, his eyes fixed on you with an intelligent gaze. “Ziry iksos sȳz.” Jacaerys ensures. She is kind. 

You glance up at Jacaerys, a mix of awe and uncertainty crossing your features before grasping his hand; it is smaller than his own, warm and soft. He swallows back the surge of jitters at your touch, redirecting his gaze to where Vermax's scales gleam in the sunlight filtering through the dome of the Dragonpit.

"He won't harm you," Jace assures you quietly, his eyes watching your reaction closely, your eyes so wide he has the sudden urge to kiss your temple to ease the tension. Brave girl.

As you take a breath, you extend a confident hand towards Vermax's snout, your pinky looped through Jace’s own to ensure he remains with you; The dragon rumbles softly, a sound that reverberates through Jace’s chest familiarly.

"He's incredible," you exhale with sheer wonder as you stroke the dragon's scaled face gently. Vermax tilts his head slightly, seeming to enjoy the attention, his eyes half-lidded with satisfaction; Jacaerys cannot contain the grin from spreading across his lips. 

"He likes you," Jace comments softly, his voice tinged with pride. You sook similarly proud when you turn to him.

“He reminds me a bit of my cat.”

THE KEEP’S LIBRARY IS A KIND REFUGE FROM THE BUSTLING OF THE CAPITOL. 

It is a lazy kind of afternoon, one after high tea with the other ladies of the court; you have since retired from the sun to the cool shadows of the library to enjoy some reading.

 You’re rather nested into a comfortable chair, leg propped quite unladylike upon the edge of the table in front of you; a tome on the history of the Seven Kingdoms rests precariously upon your thigh. You’re nearly lulled into trance at the soft parchment, ancient and rustling, and the stagnant sounds of the cavernous room. 

A spider meanders quietly across the shelf in front of you; curiously, it begins an ascent up towards the more ancient scrolls and you wonder which history it will begin to make its silky home within. 

The breeze of an open door rustles you just so; You are to meet the Princess quite soon and you really should freshen up - your hair has begun to fall loose from its style, unused to the humid heat of King’s Landing’s bay, and you’ve noticed your cheeks flush much easier lately. 

Blame it on the heat, your mind chides, not on anybody in particular. You bite your lip, willing yourself to not become distracted once again by thoughts of the Prince you’d spent quite some time with since your arrival. 

His voice, so soft and ensuring as he spoke in that ancient language of his to Vermax; hands, warm and guiding, as you reached for those warm scales. Not when I’m in such pleasant company, he’d said. You bite your lip, quelling the giddiness at the memory of his low voice, kind smile. 

The tales told of Princess Rhaenyra’s chivalrous, handsome eldest son were nothing in comparison to his real self; A strand of hair slips loose and tickles your neck, you conceal your smirk with a bitten lip. 

A rustle in the aisle just to your right snaps you to attention - drawing your leg to return to a proper sit, you clear your throat; a flash of brown locks walking down the aisle. 

Cheeks flushed, you squint - not Jacaerys, you realize.  

The visitor walks past and you clear your throat, heart returning to its pace as you register the Prince Lucerys; you find yourself pleasantly happy to see the young prince, especially as you watch him search the top row of shelves upon his tip-toes. He is much more tolerable than his uncles, as well - charming and playful, much like his brother, with more of a nose for mischief, if not a bit hesitant. 

“Prince Lucerys,” You call to him, hiding a small smile as the boy jumps slightly, head turning at your voice. 

A distant cough from a maester somewhere in the depths of the aisles, a rustle of a page elsewhere. The prince grins when he sees you. 

“Hello, my Lady.” He nods politely, book in hand as he crosses the row to you. “What are you reading?” 

You gesture down to the book - larger than your head, dusty, and written by some Maester decades ago that had less than coherent calligraphy. “Nothing too exciting, I’m afraid,” You don’t wish to bore the prince with your interests, “Please, sit-” You say, scooting as he hovers in front of you. 

As he does, you flip to the cover, finger tracing the bound spine with a small smile, “Just a book on the history of the Seven Kingdoms."

The prince nods, eyes tracing over the cover thoughtfully, "I’m not so good with history. My brother is much better, he’s always loved history.” 

The mention of Jacaerys has your heart beating hard in your chest; hoping for nonchalance, you nod, “I quite like history, too - I suppose I’ve yet to mention it to him.” The piece of hair near your neck becomes too much; you should really be getting to the gardens to meet Helaena, but you must re-do your hair lest it drive you mad. 

Had it been a week ago, you would not have dared to let yourself remain so unladylike in front of a member of the royal family; but in your days in King’s Landing, you’ve come to grow quite comfortable with Lucerys and his brother. He would likely not even notice your less than ceremonious state, and if he did, his mother has taught all her sons to be quite respectful. 

Lucerys’ face brightens, nodding quick. “Oh, Jace loves history, he’d have mentioned it to me hundreds of times already if he knew you like it, too.” He sighs, looking away as if forgetting with whom he is speaking, “He’s always talking about you.”

You, having half-undone your hair, pause as your curiosity piques. 

Heart hammering, a flustered heat imbues your skin, your hands resuming to pull pins and re-fasten them to hold your hair. Jace talks about you?

You cannot help the smirk that grows - if he were here, he'd probably be mortified.

Luke seems incredibly distracted by the pins you pull and place on top of your book; you lift a brow, a warmth climbing up your chest as you tilt your head, unable to resist prodding with a heat upon your cheeks. “Is he?”

Lucerys nods, though his eyes track your hands as you set a jeweled pin across from you. “Yes, he’s always speaking of how much he likes-” He stops abruptly, eyes wider than a deer in a hunting field; you resist a grin with a bite to your lip as it must begin to dawn on him he’s spoken too much. 

You should resist. He’s clearly panicking - Luke is no longer interested in the mechanisms of your hair pins, now staring at you with parted lips like a fish starved of the ocean. You shouldn’t prod, lest the Prince become unable to breathe or pass out in a panic.

You lean back, remaining as casual as possible despite your fluttering heart. "How much he likes what?" You ask him, pulling the last pin - your hair, down and natural, frames your heated cheeks as you begin to gather it again from the heat of your neck. 

A door somewhere opens, footsteps echoing down empty stone floors. A maester passes by, head in a book. 

Lucerys' face is pink as he scrambles to cover his tracks, clearing his throat. “Er, how much he likes your company."

You can’t help but smile at his attempt to recover, heart soaring as you consider your fondness for Jacaerys. You try not to let your voice betray Luke’s failure to convince you. 

“Really? That’s good to know." You say evenly, playing your hardest at nonchalance as you hide a grin of flattery. Jacaerys, taking an interest in you?  

Yet before you can probe further, a call from behind a shelf: you recognize the voice at the same time as the boy across from you. Both of your eyes widen, yet for very different reasons.

“Luke, where’ve you gone? Maester Pyne is convinced you’ve run off-” 

Jacaerys rounds the aisle, stopping straight as his eyes meet yours; heat envelopes you, stomach dropping at his height, staring down at you. 

The cloak he wears is a dark red; framed wonderfully with his curls, your eyes trace the slope of his nose, the slight part of his pink lips. 

As his face turns a similar shade to his cloak, he greets you with surprise. “My Lady,” He nods - you can barely greet him back with a smile before his eyes flicker suspiciously to his brother. "Luke, what are you doing?" he asks cautiously. 

Lucerys, looking slightly guilty, replies quickly - "Nothing! Just talking."

You can’t help the feeling of delight in the way Jace’s long dark lashes flutter as he stares death down at his younger brother; But his eyes turn soft under your own demure smile when you speak up.

“Your brother was just telling me how much you enjoy my company." 

Perhaps it is just to see him squirm - to confirm that he, too, feels the tickle of attraction, of interest. You silently thank the maiden for your resilience against teasing; your brothers first mortifying you in front of Jacaerys at the feast nights ago, you’ve tried hard to school your infatuation until you can squeal and smile into your pillow in the safety of your bedchambers each night. 

At your words, Jacaerys' face turns a brilliant shade of red, much like his cloak - his sharp jaw clenching as he sends a look to Lucerys. "Was he?” 

A rhetorical question; Luke averts his eyes to the table as you purse your lips. After a moment Jace’s eyes slide from the heated stare at Lucerys back to you, nodding, a hand running through his curls, “Well, I… do."

His embarrassment is incredibly endearing; you smile softly, feeling equally flattered and infatuated. Shrugging one shoulder, you can’t help the flush on your cheeks. "I enjoy your company too, Jacaerys." You ensure him, moving to finish the last pin within your hair, effectively bringing it back to its tamed state. 

You do not wish to, but you could not leave the Princess waiting alone. With a clearing of your throat, you rise to your feet.

 "If you'll excuse me - Princess Helaena promised to show me where the largest beetles crawl in the gardens.” You explain with a smile to the two in front of you; one, staring at you as if begging you not to leave him alone with his vexed older brother, the other watching you with exceedingly kind eyes and very red cheeks.

You stand, brushing invisible dust from your gown before curtseying. “Good evening, Prince Lucerys,” You nod, eyes flickering to the honey eyes of Jace, standing with full lips and full brown locks; you cannot resist giving him a final, coy smile. “Prince Jacaerys.”

You do not let yourself linger much longer; briskly walking away, you conceal a small pleased smile at your newfound knowledge - Luke’s voice echoes in your mind. He’s always talking about you.

As you stride towards the exit, a muffled thud of a fist hitting clothing is followed by a hushed whisper; harsh and incredibly apologetic. "I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to say anything-"

"-Just be quiet, Luke.”

“Jace, I really am-” 

An exhausted sigh - “It’s fine, really."

You smirk as you push open the doors, excitement tingling in your stomach. It is fine. Really.

THE SUN CASTS INTRICATE PATTERNS IN THE STONEWORK OF THE GARDENS. 

Jace does not spend much time here; only when accompanying others does he ever really venture out to the gardens, often too occupied with training, lessons, or other duties. Yet today the sun is so warm on his skin that it feels a crime not to spend some time underneath it. 

The book he’s studying remains lit despite his respite under the shade - Battle Tactics of Far Essos - and all that remains otherwise is the rhythmic clinking of a blacksmith's hammer in the distance.

“Prince Jacaerys.”

He nearly jumps; it’s been well over an hour since he last spoke or was spoken to - this section of the gardens scarcely find themselves visited. 

Yet you stand in the foreground, hands clasped and a smile on your radiant face. 

He cannot help himself as he matches your expression; a smile of his own, flustered but warm, as he stands to greet you. 

“My lady,” He blinks away the surprise at seeing you, of all people, here. After yesterday, he’s been torn equally between wanting the ground to open and swallow him whole at the thought of seeing you, and waiting anxiously for the next opportunity to see your smile, make you laugh. 

It is a sweet kind of torture, he reminds himself. 

“I didn’t expect to see you here.” You say kindly. 

He nods, “You mentioned the gardens the other evening, I felt like enjoying them for myself.” He explains, setting his book down behind him. "I've yet to find any large beetles, though."

This makes you laugh gently and he pretends not to feel it in his chest. He watches as you rock on your toes - a girlish thing, one more youthful than your age, but it is incredibly endearing to Jacaerys. 

He must have been staring too long - you look down, cheeks warm. 

“Would you care to walk with me?” You ask, voice sweet and welcoming. He runs a hand through his hair - a nervous habit, one his mother so gently tells him will make his curls even more unruly. 

“I’d love to.” He agrees, cheeks hot. 

He should be less surprised by now at how conversation between you flows so easily - you are kind, smart, funny, and incredibly endearing; a confident woman, just shy of his own age by one year and two moons. As you walk under the sun, your cheeks become more full of color - his knuckles brush yours accidentally when you become distracted by a bushel of bright yellow flowers and he has to hide his sharp inhale with a clearing of the throat.

Gods, pull it together Jacaerys, he scolds himself, sending you a nod as you begin to explain the pollination cycle of the plant before you. You’re knowledgeable, and each question he asks, you seem more eager to answer. 

He’s never found the gardens particularly interesting, but as you softly tell him of the soil cycles and how to replant non-native flowers, he finds himself growing more and more charmed. 

Your lips are quite plush - glossy, pink; he wonders how they’d feel upon his own as you continue to walk, the path winding deeper into the garden. 

After a half-hour, he nearly forgets about the embarrassment of yesterday - a piece of cotton from the cottonwood trees nearby floats, catching the sunlight.

He watches it for a moment as it lifts and ducks, swaying and teasing, until it nests itself into your hair; you're telling him of the time your brother trapped a wild hare with just sticks and twine, and he stops abruptly, causing you to halt your tracks inquisitively.

Not a moment to consider his actions, his fingers reach to brush the piece of white out of your hair.

He cannot help but hover for a moment as your sentence tapers off, eyes waiting as you stare up at him. Gods, it is so warm out today. A pad of his finger brushes against your jaw, feather-light; his cheeks heat at the feeling of your skin against his own.

You open your mouth, but sharp rustling and a snort of laughter from behind the hedges jolts you both.

With shock, you both spring apart, startled - Jacaerys' heart sinks as he recognizes the unmistakable voices down the path. Fuck.

Not a moment later, Aegon stumbles into view, a bottle of wine in hand; flanked by a few of his friends, all of them clearly inebriated. "Well, well, what do we have here?" Aegon drawls, a drunken smirk on his face. "Having a little rendezvous in the garden?"

Jacaerys feels his face heat with a mix of anger and bitter embarrassment - is there no cease to the teasing in this castle?

"What are you doing here?" he demands, trying to keep his voice steady. 

Aegon ignores his question, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I didn't know you liked midday strolls in the garden, Jace," he teases, swaying slightly as he takes another swig from his bottle. "Or is there more to it?"

Jacaerys steps in front of you slightly, his jaw tightening. "What do you want, Aegon?"

Aegon laughs, the sound grating upon his ears. "Just enjoying the lovely day, dear nephew,” His gaze shifts to you momentarily, a playful glint in his eyes. “-But it looks like you're enjoying it even more." 

He could strike Aegon, he could knock him to the ground- 

“We were enjoying the quiet, Your Grace.” You say, face ever polite, hand gracing Jace’s arm just out of sight of the others - it sends warmth through him. 

Aegon raises an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by your words - a warm flush of pride in Jace's chest at your gracefulness. "Enjoying the quiet?” Aegon’s head tilts, eyes flicking from you to where Jace stands, fists tight against his side. “Well, I suppose we are disturbing your peace, then, aren’t we?"

Jace’s knuckles are white, teeth clenched as he sends a false nod to the man in front of him, "Yes, you are. So if you don't mind..."

Aegon waves a dismissive hand, his smirk fading slightly, "Alright, alright. No need to get so worked up, Jace. We'll be on our way." He turns to his friends, motioning for them to follow - as they stagger off, Aegon calls over his shoulder, "Enjoy your stroll!"

Gods, sometimes Jace swears he could kill that imbecile.

Once they're out of sight, Jacaerys lets out a long breath, turning to you while trying to let go of the frustration laced through his shoulders. "I'm so sorry about that."

You shake your head, grasping his hand in yours gently, “-Oh, it’s nothing. My brothers can be similarly tiresome. I'm...used to him, by now.” 

oh, right. He nearly winces recalling the dragonpit; Aegon's foolish words. The meddling in Jacaerys' interests is something he is quite used to from his uncles; yet after the soft smile you give him, resuming your slow stroll through the garden, he begins to forget the irritation that simmers within him.

Eventually, you slow to a stop, eyeing a small alcove under vines and stone pillars with a small carved fountain - encouraging, you grasp Jace's hand and lead him over to it.

He spares a glance down at your hands as you pull him to duck under the shade of a nearby pillar, soft and much more smooth than his own calloused palms.

Vines trickle low like the gentle water that escapes the fountain in rivulets, sneaking near his shoulder and dangling above your head as you clear your throat, whispering his name gently in a way that has his chest squeezing with affection. 

“I’ve been thinking,” your voice is barely above a whisper; Jace has to stoop over you slightly, bending so he might better hear you over the birds chirping and blacksmith in the distance - your cheeks heat even more at this, and Jace saves the observation for another time. 

 “-About what your brother said yesterday when I saw him in the library.”

Jacaerys can’t help but stiffen slightly, stomach dropping - Gods, what an idiot Lucerys can be. “What did he say?” His voice is much less calm than he intends.

You turn your face up to his own and he watches how your eyes adjust in his shadow, your bottom lip caught between your teeth. “He said you…talk about me, a lot.”

Oh Gods, kill me. Please. Or, kill Luke. 

He cannot manage his blush - eyes darting away, he soon becomes extremely interested in the stone wall beside him. “Luke has a big mouth,” he mutters, embarrassment leaking through his voice.

It isn’t until he sees your shoes step closer to him that he catches your smile, the genuine kindness in your own eyes. Your voice is that coy tone as you shake your head gently. “I didn’t mind, my Prince. In fact…” You bite that pretty lip again and he resists an urge to free it from between your teeth with his thumb.

 “-I was quite flattered.” You confide.

He glances at you, stomach flipping in delight, “You were?”

Your face is quite close to his - he can see the ring of color outside of your irises, how you have a small scar on your brow. “I like knowing that you think about me.”

Your voice is again that dallying tone, blinking slowly up at him - he's caught your game by now.  “I do,” he admits dumbly, spurred on by the infatuation in your voice, entranced by the way your hand slides up his bicep. 

“Do you?” your tone is teasing - none the harsh tease of his uncles, nor the jesting tease of your brothers; no, this tease is special, he realizes - flirty. Just for him. 

He nods, heart beating faster by the second as he watches the flush spread across your cheeks and chest. “Of course I do,” He smiles, “You’re unlike anyone I've ever met."

Your own smile widens at his words; his heart skips, unsure why someone so stunning would ever choose to give him the time of day. "As are you," you say softly, your eyes locked with his. "I've really been enjoying our time together."

Jacaerys nods, his heart pounding in his chest. "As have I, " he admits, his voice barely above a whisper as he says your name.

Your hand brushes against his arm; gentle, shy - it sends a shiver down his spine. 

You hum, "My brothers were right, you know?” 

He tilts your head at your words, and your lips twist into a smile - mischievous enough to light his abdomen with warmth. “The princes here in the capital are quite charming.” You grin. 

He can’t help but shake his head good-naturedly, biting his lip to conceal a pleased smirk. “Is that right?” He asks, allowing his hand to gently graze the side of your arm; Your breath hitches, just slightly. Jace nearly melts, his heart thrumming within his chest in a sweet pattern - it sounds almost like your name. "All of them?" He teases. Your nose scrunches up slightly and he feels lightheaded.

"Only the ones who talk to their brothers about me all the time."

Your eyes are so bright, even in the shade, and he wonders how anyone could ever tire of looking into them - his mind betrays him, momentarily, as his gaze flicks to your lips. Still so pretty, glossy, kissable - he brings his eyes back to yours to find a charged, heavy air between you. 

Perhaps he is simply caught in the moment, but he swears he hears you incorrectly as you whisper once more over the rustling leaves. "Jacaerys," your eyes are so wide, "Would you kiss me?"

He swears he cannot breathe for a moment, heat flooding through him at your question. 

Neither can he help the rush of adrenaline at your words, his heart pounding in his chest. Searching your eyes, there is a vulnerability and desire that so mirrors his own; His voice catches in his throat for a moment before he manages to respond, "Would I...?" He repeats softly, testing the reality of the moment.

It is simply a kiss you asked for - not for him to take up the black and relocate to the Wall - yet there is a bashfulness and curiosity in your voice that tugs at the back of his mind. 

Gods, you must have suitors falling to their knees at your feet. Jace knows he would; in fact, he’s shocked he hasn't already. 

You nod, your strong gaze steady. Your eyes seem to swallow him, stare into his very soul. "I would very much like it if you did." You whisper, your own eyes flickering down to his lips, watching intently as his tongue presses to the back of his teeth, biting his bottom lip gently.

Jacaerys has had his share of experiences, and yet he’s never found himself so completely enamored, so desperate to feel someone’s lips against his own. His heartbeat is nearly in his throat. 

You blossom brighter than any flower in the gardens as his hand rises to cradle your soft cheek; a breath against your forehead that has your sweet eyelashes fluttering. “I would- I would too," Jacaerys murmurs, stammering his way through his sentence like a fool; still full of disbelief that you've chosen him, taken an interest in him. His thumb brushes lightly against your cheek, feeling the warmth of your skin under his touch.

The sunlight is dappled, the blossoms fragrant; even the sound of the breeze through the brush fades away as Jacaerys leans in slowly, giving you time to pull away if you wish. 

To his relief you stay, pushing up on your toes as you lean into him, breath mingling with his own. His eyes flutter shut after yours do; with a slight lurch in your breath, his lips gently meet yours.

It's a soft, tentative kiss; a sweet exploration of unfamiliar territory, your lips just as plush and gentle as he’d imagined. Your hands slide over his chest, leaning further into him - he’s hit with the sweet scent of your perfumed oils; nearly as intoxicating and lovely as the sigh you let out. 

His heart races at the way you lean into him, his fingers spreading over your jaw and the small of your back. Jace cannot help but deepen the kiss softly, leaning over you and gently pressing you back; you let out a quiet noise, one that sends a rush of excitement through him, as your back brushes the stone pillar behind you.

You smile gently against his lips; it brings him back to the present, his head dizzy and heart pounding as he pulls away. It is with a thrill that Jace watches your lips chase after his, just slightly. 

Your hands remain upon his chest as he pulls back, thumb sliding over your cheek with disbelief. “I…” You trail off as you purse your lips, smiling gently, “Thank you,” You say. Affection spurs through him. 

He lets out a soft chuckle, unable to hold it back as he tugs you closer once more, “Why do you thank me, dove?” He whispers, shaking his head; he’s nearly embarrassed by the unexpected pet name that escapes his lips, but the way your breath catches makes his own heart flutter. “It is I who should thank you,” He breathes. 

Your fingers trace small patterns into his chest and it makes him nearly dizzy; not as much as when you quickly surge up onto your toes, pressing your lips quickly to his again.

His brows raise as he kisses you back, too short and too late. You pull away with a large smile, laughing softly as he chuckles too.

"It's as if you're trying to make me forget how to breathe," he says breathlessly, unashamed of the giddiness of his voice. You seem to like it, anyways.

You grin. "Maybe I just enjoy seeing you blush." you retort, your tone light and teasing. "It's very charming." You inform him with a giggle. He rolls his eyes, but pulls you to his side gently as he ducks away from the shade.

The stroll back towards the Keep is alight with whispers and gentle conversation; across the yard, Lucerys trains with Ser Harwin Strong. Jace holds back a huff as Aegon trips while tightening his chestplate; a sardonic smile on Jacaerys’ face, he turns to you, "I hope he hasn't soured your view of King's Landing," he tilts his head; you do not need to hear Aegon’s name to know what he means.

You watch Jace for a moment - then, your eyes glance around; before he can blink, you’re pressing a kiss to his cheek, just above his jaw from your passing height. 

Jacaerys grins stupidly large down at the stone floors as your hand comes to his arm, shaking your head gently. “There's no reason for you to worry, Jace," you reply so kindly. "You've more than made up for it."
