[FE] Queen And Her Knight

Title: Queen And Her Knight
Character/Pairing: Elincia/Geoffrey
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Comfort doesn't have to play by the rules.

Notes: Written for 31_days and for the FE kink meme at ooh_shinies. Also, so, so rushed. Takes place before the endgame. Also, this wouldn't be so pwp-esque if I'd had more time to write it. ;_;

( I no longer fear yesterday )

fandom: fe, radiant dawn, ship: geoffrey/elincia, kink meme, ch: elincia, fic

You know, I don't mind if it's a PWP, because you made it classy. I like that. You made it beautiful to see them come together, and I'm already a fan of this pairing, so.

Really, really nice details. My favorite: His fingers snagged on the gauze of her cloak, skin too rough to skim over the silk.

Writing them not classy would've broken my brain, I think. :p

I wanted to write them around the details. That sentence was one of the first I wrote, to give myself something to work forward to.

I'm relieved to know it works! ^^;

This pairing's so woefully unloved, it's great to see someone finally fulfilling that prompt -- (I've been meaning to for ages XD)

Just one thing I caught--

Geoffrey's breath caught as she helped him back to his feet, fingers gripping.
This sounds like a sentence fragment. Was there supposed to be more here?

Other than that, love! I love that Ike wasn't an issue in any way and I love Geoffrey's sheer devotion. That hand-kissing was both hot and tender, and the sort of gentle, graceful buildup seemed quite natural for them. Also, much love for this paragraph:

The queen of Crimea rarely had the luxury to act as she pleased. The throne was no resting place; if it sat above others, she'd learned, it was so that it could see everything that went on within the realm. The crown was no fashion accessory; it was meant to circle the sovereign's head from dawn till dusk, unfailing like the sun watching the whole day, from the Eastern mountains covered in evergreens to the windy moors of the West; and, between them, the wheat fields and the ( ... )

I saw the prompt back in April: "Oooh, that sounds niiiice... but I can't write them x____x" So glad 31days made me do something about it.

...Hm. Would it be better if it was "their fingers gripping" or should I give an object? grammar, we hates it, precious

RD convinced me that any Ike issues rest firmly in the past for Elincia. He didn't have his place here. And I <3 hand-kissing zomg couldn't resist.

That paragraph was one of my self-indulgent moves while I was procrastinating on writing what they were doing. >_> Also, copy-pasta of my country's geography, but I can't help it if Crimea's been furiously reminding me of it since PoR. Historical resonance ftw.
