Further note: This is my first attempt at the genre so here I go...
In the end it was time that separated them.
Very few Fae understood the relationship between Bo and Lauren. The succubus and the human who belonged to the Ash. The human who seemed to thrive in a world that should have destroyed her years ago. Humans never lasted long in the Fae world, they weren't supposed to and yet Lauren had managed to outlive two Ashes. The first had been murdered...the second well he was murdered too but for very different reasons.
When the next Ash came both Lauren and Bo held their breaths and wondered what he would do with his human Doctor. Would he treat her kindly or cruely or a mix of both? Bo knew that although Lauren loved her her loyalties would always remain with the Ash. It was how she had survived.
It was how she had always survived.
Bo had come to understand that...eventually.
Just like Lauren understood that Bo would never be truly faithful to her.
She went to other Fae for sex...to feed.
Bo came to her for comfort.
It was enough for them both.
As time moved forward and Lauren began to age many in the Fae world wondered why Bo continued to go to Lauren when she could have anyone. She was a Succubus and without even trying could have any Fae or human in any number in her bed and yet she always seemed to eventually go to Lauren.
Always Lauren.
Lauren died young, even by human standards. The life she led was a difficult one. Being a slave even a well treated one eventually took its toll. Her body eventually just gave out. It didn't help much that she had a succubus lover that fed off of her on regular basis, even one who loved her as much as a succubus could love a human.
In the end it was time that separated them.
Of all the things that had been done to them. That they had done to each other, it was time that brought an end to them.
Not hate.
Not betrayal.
Not even the Fae world.
It was time.
Bo just had more of it.
Bo smiled at the grave the Ash had designated for the doctor; it was simple one on the grounds of his compound; fit for a human. Bo had been shocked when she had seen the words that had been placed on her tombstone. Maybe this Ash had understood better then the other two what they had meant to each other.
"In the end it was time that separated them."
No other words were needed to describe their relationship.
No other words ever did.
