Opal Jasper #16, Neapolitan #14, Arclight #1
Name: shadowsong26
Story: Considered
'Verse: Untitled Intrigues Story
Colors: Opal Jasper #16. crown and country, Neapolitan #14. could’ve, would’ve, should’ve, Arclight #1. Though I know where this could take me/ No tears no sympathy
Supplies and Materials: graffiti (Lilith Faire Day Eight: Village Stage), photography, postcard, novelty beads, beading wire, glue ("Don't feel like you need to make excuses for the way you feel. It's probably better if you slow down a bit, especially when it comes to love."), canvas
Word Count: 131
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Neremyi
Warnings: Arranged marriage (not the fun kind).
Notes: Constructive criticism welcome, as always. Could I have an Arclight color tag, please?
Once, not long after her sons were born, Neremyi considered taking a lover.
She had someone specific in mind--a minor courtier, kind and handsome; a bright spot in a life that was increasingly unhappy.
Of course, even if she had done her duty and provided her husband with two healthy sons, the risk was too high, and the gain too low. And while he was kind, he never gave her any indication that he might reciprocate the feelings she left carefully unexpressed. No matter how hard she tried to read into his gentle, perfect courtesy.
It was for the best, in the end, to leave that door unopened.
But for a few weeks, when she was at her lowest, she had ached for the possibility of a man who loved her.
