I love these two, always hesitant and wary of admitting anything. I like Jadeite's worry that he's not good enough for Mars. That's fitting. Poor boy.

Poor boy indeed. He's not used to being insecure, but around her, all his bravado simmers down to nothing.

You can't even let them be happy for one drabble!!!!!!!!! It looks cute, but I can read the angst between the lines!!!!!!! You can't fool me!!!!!!!!!!!

Thalia, El, someone please have these two do something cute before the end of the year or Imma gonna die.

Also fail, Jadeite; poinsettias are not flowers, they are fussy little tropical bitches that die if you don't give them their daily massage. Fuck those plants. Should have given her your horse!

Lies, filthy lies. There's no angst in here, not even a trace of it. I think it's you being paranoid. Yes, that's it. You think of Airmail and perhaps of the whodunnit and you're projecting.
He's giving her a potted plant, that's kind of cute, yes?

And I have two poinsettias, it's common in Germany to have them during the advent days and good God, I had to wrap them in paper just to carry them from the car to my flat. Ridiculous.

He's giving her a DYING potted plant and being snippy so that she doesn't see how much he likes her. He should have picked a hearty rosebush that can live through a nuclear holocaust. Or a maple tree so they can drink from it.

Maybe I am projecting.

It's a dying plant because that's what poinsettias do: they make people worry that if you turn away for a second, all the leaves will be on the ground and you'll be left with naked, crippled branches.

And he's being snippy because he's worried that she doesn't like her back. They're adults, diplomats, royals even, he can't just pull her hair. ;)

D'awwwwwww!

I love all of Jadeite's posturing. He tried SO HARD to find her the perfect gift, but when he finally gives it to her, he rolls his eyes and pretends it's no big deal just to keep from getting hurt.

I also love Endy, the cocky bastard, and Nephrite, all suave and at peace. Fantastic contrast to Jadeite! Also, this:

Nephrite immediately begins to take care of the white stallion and it’s not long before the two men make their way back to the castle, Jadeite fidgeting, Nephrite completely at ease with himself, the world, and everything in between.

So perfect! Nephrite is so zen.

I love his perception that Mars needs everything absolutely perfect. And how what he gives her is clearly not perfect--it's DYING--but she appreciates it anyway.

This is so lovely. I love this whole thing you guys are doing.

He is. But then it's winter, and he has a lovely girl with great boobs, there's snow and apple cake, his prince is happy, so Nephrite, the world is perfect.

I love his perception that Mars needs everything absolutely perfect. And how what he gives her is clearly not perfect--it's DYING--but she appreciates it anyway.
He's put her on this giant pedestal because he really, really likes her and that does horrible things to the way he sees himself. The irony of the situation is that Mars likes him just the way he is, but he's not ready to see that yet.

This is so lovely. I love this whole thing you guys are doing.
Aww, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy this.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! I love it! ^_____^ Also, I must point out that I love Endy, being so cocky and even the fact that he has a stereotypical prince with his white horse ... but then I'm sure you knew that :P Anyway, this made me squeal with happiness and caused both my coworker and my boss to turn and stare at me, demanding to know what I was doing ^^;; ... which by the way they both give you high marks for the story as well, even though my boss has no idea who any of these people are and my coworker David only has the barest ideas ^^.
