Snake Boi Callum Week 3.0 | Prompt: Your Deepest Truth / Complicated

[jelzorz]

196.

With a very vague reference to 191.

Soren jokes because it's how he deals with things. It's how he's always dealt with things, and things in his life have not been easy. His mother left and he became a clown for Claudia. His father treated him poorly and he used humour to pretend it was okay. Queen Zubeia went missing once, and he spent the entire search being an idiot and annoying Corvus to keep things light.

Things have been bad before. They've been downright horrible before, and he's pulled through, and pulled others through by being ridiculous and stupid and funny.

It's pretty hard to imagine worse than this, though.

It's only been a couple of days since the attack on the castle. He and the other soldiers have moved the surviving civilians from the temples to the Banther Lodge where they'll stay until they can sort something else out, and in the distance, the ruins are still smouldering, still a grim reminder of dragon fire and destruction and death. Soren's gone back a few times already to look for more survivors, to help dig bodies out of the rubble, to salvage what little they can and it hasn't gotten easier. He can't imagine that it will.

And then Callum and Rayla had come back with—

He shakes his head. He's already had to speak to Opeli about this because she'd been furious about it, and Soren had tried to understand Callum and Rayla's perspective, he really had, especially considering that he's just lost his own dad, however complicated and messy all that was in the first place, but this? This is different.

This feels like an insult.

This is rubbing salt in an already festering wound.

The Kingslayer sits at their table and Soren can't help but be bitter about it, especially when a Skywing elf by the name of Astrid arrives to deliver more bad news.

Of course he turns to humour. Of course he makes jokes. Of course he's an idiot to defuse the tension that stretches over the dinner table, taut as bowstring and ready to snap. And of course—

"Do you think you can stop being an idiot for, like, a second?"

Soren turns to Callum, his jaw tight. "Excuse me."

Callum scowls back. "All this and Aaravos is out anyway. The castle's gone. People have died. And you're, what, making jokes? Seriously?"

Soren snaps back before he can stop himself. "Sorry," he drawls. "Are we supposed to be as angsty about this as you?"

"You can get your priorities straight at a minimum—"

"Priorities!" Soren actually laughs. "We're gonna talk about priorities? Okay. Where the fuck were you when all this happened, huh? What were you doing while I was here dealing with a dragon attack on our home?"

Callum has the audacity to snarl. "I was helping Rayla—"

"Bring back the elf that murdered your step-dad and who would have murdered Ezran too, right? Because we all know how you sort your priorities."

Silence falls over the table. Callum snaps his mouth shut. Rayla has the decency to flush.

Soren pushes his seat back and gets up. "Sorry for trying to keep everyone together," he says acidly. "Some of us have different priorities to you."

He stalks away. One by one, the others do too. For once, there is nothing to say and no joke to make it better.

The Longest Night

Summary: Callum has never been very good at accepting his limits and while some challenges may seem insurmountable, when it comes to Rayla... he would do anything for her.

Pairing: Rayla/Callum

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Callum wandered through the dark woods, eyes moving continuously as he searched for Rayla. The strange light of this place made it difficult for him to focus. It had been too long since he’d seen her, and every second spent searching was a second without her.

It wasn’t like they had endless time together either.

“We have to stop meeting like this.

He sighed in relief at the sound of her voice, feeling his throat close. “Rayla.” Turning, he found her standing by the tree where they’d said goodbye the last time he’d seen her.

She looked beautiful as always, her long hair loose and swaying gently in the breeze, a soft smile on her face. Every time he saw her; she took his breath away.

“Callum,” her voice broke as she reached for him.

He embraced her, feeling the tense knot in his chest unravel as he held her in his arms. “I missed you.”

Snake Boi Callum Week, Day 4: I Did It For You / Necessary

I can’t believe you used dark magic again. Because it’s wrong? Because it’s dangerous. Because it hurts you! But most of all because it makes you vulnerable to the thing you’re most afraid of. Aaravos, I know. So why? Why would you do it again? It doesn’t matter now. I did it, I’m ruined, it’s too late for me, who cares? It’s not too late for you if you quit. I just don’t understand why you would keep doing it, knowing that it puts your life in terrible danger. Fine! You wanna know why? Yeah, I do! I did it for you! C'mon. There's something there for you, too. Cause I know you, Rayla. You never do anything for yourself, so I wanted to do something for yourself... for you. I would do anything for you.

Ezran felt a coldness twist its way around his heart. It took his lungs, too, and for a long moment he could not breathe, could not feel anything but an unfamiliar anger so potent it seized the whole of him, inside and out.

I ignored something that was true. I denied something that is undeniable. We are angry! I am angry.

--Reflections: Deep Below; 4x03

Rayla wanted to press her hands to her ears, but she knew she had to watch. Soon, it would be her turn to fight.

Rayla made herself strong. “I’m looking for a dark mage.”

--Reflections: Chasing Shadows

...already tainted by darkness and destined to play right into my hands.

I didn't have a choice, because... I would do anything for you.

I think this is something worth pointing out that I think (some) have overlooked.

That look—Callum’s look—is one of defeat. He had escaped, his group had won, and his even gotten a second Arcanum for his troubles, something that I don’t think anyone has ever been able to do!

But he had to use Dark Magic to get there, and in his mind, that means he failed. In case anyone says that Callum is willing to break his principles at any time for his loved ones, ehhhhh no. That’s the look of unbridled shame and self-loathing. That look shows that his morals are real, they exist, and even if he failed this test, there will be others in the future.
