Summary:
Writing prompt in 500 words or less: A Small Lie.
A Mage deals with the consequences of her fraternization with a Templar.
I decided to make this into a 100 word Drabble.
It was more challenging than I thought.
Notes:
A/N - This piece has a few warnings. I tagged it for unplanned pregnancy and not being able to keep it / forced adoption too. So there's that. :( This is for the Sadness Appreciation Society on Discord. Blame them!
All recognizable content belongs to Bioware/EA Games,
All twisted perversions therein,
I will take my own credit for, thank-you very much!
I'm Fine
I'm Fine.
That's what I tell him when he finally asks.
It's what I tell myself when I empty my stomach every morning.
I can't tell him, we'll only be punished if anyone finds out.
A slap on the wrist for him; tranquil for me.
Mages and Templars can't love each other.
The life growing inside of me, shouldn't be.
But I won't be able to hide it much longer.
They'll find out. My child will be taken.
We're never allowed to keep them.
I can't let myself get attached.
To it.
To him.
I'm fine. I'll have to be.

End Notes:
**Hugs** For enduring the sad with me.
I will be doing semi-regular writing prompts. Follow me for the most reliable updates. Most of these short pieces will be for the Collected Works of the Sadness Appreciation Society on AO3. I tend to lean on the fluffy/happy side of writing, so this is me branching out a bit. That's not to say, that I won't include the occasional bit of fluff to soothe your soul (and mine too). I will continue to work on Cocktails & Cheese, as well, so don't think that I've moved on from my baby just yet.
This work is un-beta'd - all mess-ups are all on me!
Thanks for stopping in!
