No choice? Ha. You made the same choice you’ve always made. / This is the destiny I choose. The one I write for myself.

I'm alive, I swear. Just been reaaaaaally busy working.
Please accept this peace offering (a small snippet from my next fic aboard the Sea Legs).
Callum nodded, “And when I punched him for hurting you, he… he knew. So he chose to hurt you more instead of me...” He trailed off, leaning into her touch. His hand rose and pushed her palm further against his face.
Rayla’s brow pinched in worry, stepping closer, “What did Finnegrin know?”
His breath was warm against her wrist, nose nuzzling the heel of her hand. When he looked at her, he swallowed, voice barely above a whisper, “What you mean to me.”
Should she tell him? Or should she wait for Callum to tell her first? Finnegrin could see he still loved her, but they hadn’t had that conversation yet and she’d feel like she was pushing him for a response if she told him that she loved him - had always loved him. She searched his eyes, finding him looking saddened, guilty even. He was blaming himself for the pain she endured and she knew he shouldn’t - Finnegrin was to blame. So she swallowed her confession down and ran her thumb over his cheekbone, under his swollen eye. They were so close that with a gentle tilt of the head, their foreheads touched. Her eyes closed and she sighed softly, cupping his face entirely in her hands. Gently, she ran her thumbs across his cheeks as his arms pulled her closer, holding her.
I love you, she thought, sliding her hands from his face to his neck. Her thumbs traced his jaw to under his ears as her fingers curled around his nape.
“Callum?” She started, eyelids fluttering open to meet his gentle green gaze. Her touch again moved along his jaw, “What do I mean to you?”
His forehead rocked slightly against hers in a tiny nuzzle, “Everything.”
I have a couple of Rayllum pics in the works too. One's a meme, another is rather ambitious of me (background-and-lighting-wise) so we'll see where that goes.
You’re used to humans running away, aren’t you? Running, hiding, cowering. All through history dragons had the power while humans lived in fear. Well, times are changing.

The allegory of Rayla and Callum's relationship healing, with them both standing in the border together again this time closer to each other holding hands with the place full of life and flowers because they pretty much represent the themes of love, union and growth between the two different worlds is making me emotional.

You know I wish I could go out with you. Ride out to a fight without thinking twice. But... things are different now that I'm queen.
This rewatch has made me more emotional than ever about how Janai knows her people are looking to her for “strength and protection”, that relationship of mutual trust and guidance, and how Janai is looking to Amaya for the self same; in the way the people are looking to their queen, so is Janai looking to hers
Time and again, we see how Janai doubts herself, and always, Amaya is there to support her. Time and again, we see Amaya fiercely protective, and we see Janai take strength from Amaya’s love and presence. and we see that it works the other way around too, with Janai doing everything she can to protect her love, and Amaya drawing strength from that love:
All the strength, protection, and reassurance their people are looking for in their monarch, they are looking for in each other; drawing strength from each other, reassuring each other, leaning on each other, reminding each other that they can have faith in the new day; there’s so much respect, love, kindness and support between them, as they build a future together; they are truly each others queen
Love and trust build a kind of strength that is much bigger than we each possess.
