♡ It's ♥ Valentine's ♥ Day~! ♡
But this year, no cards, no flowers, no candy, no Hallmark moments.

2. Decide whether you've been hit or the person tagging you has been hit.
(Or have you both gotten lucky?)
3. RNG for a love-type from Gold or Lead ( Read more... )

[For the longest time, she'd believed that it would only ever be Edgar that she would love-- any other men she met afterwards paled in comparison.
But as time went on and she suddenly found herself surrounded by male Face Cards (and incredulous departure from The Plan,) she began to realize that, once she stopped comparing, it was considerably easier to find good, deserving men out there.
And it seemed-- or so her heart told her-- that her Ace was one of them.]

It's impossible, at first, not to compare his Queen to the woman who'd smashed his heart on a back alley sidewalk. The slow realization as he climbed the ranks, as he finally rose before her an Ace, was that the comparison was entirely in her favour.
Rachel is wonderful where Aisling was life-shattering.
And if that means he starts to shadow her footsteps more often than is strictly necessary for an Ace. It's just diligence. It's just devotion.
It's just service to the Suit.]

Pirates don't get distracted by crushes. That's ridiculous.]

He had only stopped to drop by and ask what he wanted for dinner. The sudden swerve changed his topic of conversation as he went inside.]
What do you think you're doing? [He stuffed his hands into his coat, the only thing he was wearing on his upper boad as he still went about shirtless despite the Comments.] Trying to play aerobatics with the ship? Again?

This morning he'd woken up with a heavy feeling in his chest that he couldn't quite manage to ease. He's been heavy-lidded and snappish at everyone, and then he sees...her.
And the leaden feeling is set aflame. He doesn't have a name for it. He burns to reach Tegan, although what he wants to do when he gets there, even Dafydd isn't certain.]

However, this information was too sensitive to entrust to a Three - and she had ties to the Court besides.
Still, there was something about the way this Five was watching her, like he couldn't decide whether he wanted to kill or to kiss her, that gave her pause.]
Is there something I can help you with, Five?

His focus is broken when she speaks and for a few moments it feels as though his heart isn't beating at all.]
You had information?
[His voice comes out low, a little silky with an undertone of growl to it that even Dafydd is distantly taken aback to hear. But he's too focused on her to really notice.]

Säde is, in private, just as restrained. It's old habit by now. Physical affection comes seldom, but is meant with all her heart.
It's nice to be home, where she doesn't have to worry about people seeing her wrap her arms around him.] This day has been far too long.

Besides, it makes the few private moments when he's allowed to bend down and press a light kiss to her temple all the more exceptional and lovely.]

It doesn't dissipate at the entrance of several of his dogs, even though she reserves a special Resigned Face just for them. He outnumbers them, for her.]
