Meghan's POV, during The Iron King
"Beautiful Disaster" by Kelly Clarkson
An exquisite extreme I know/ He's as damned as he seems/And if I tried to save him, my whole world could cave in/Just ain't right.
I know he is fey, a dark Winter Prince. As half-human, it makes sense that I find him so attractive. As I see it, he is the picture of masculine perfection. But underneath the outside, underneath the beauty, I know he's hurting. I know he's cursed, bearing the weight of never being able to keep love, because of his own past mistakes. And though I want to help him heal, I can't. The laws of my court, the court I was born to and am bound to by blood, forbid it. He is Unseelie, and though I want to make things better for him, by attempting to do so, I only make things harder for myself and others I care about. It doesn't make sense to me.
He is magic and myth/As strong as what I believe/A tragedy with more damage than a soul should see.
He is older. Older than it would make sense for him to be, looking how he does. He is a creature made of hopes and dreams and nightmares and tales whispered in the dark. He is something that I can never really understand, something I will never be.
And, before I was born, before I even existed, he lost someone he loved, because of someone he trusted. He went through something no one should have to go through. And though I wasn't there for him when it happened, I want to do everything possible to help him heal.
I don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful. He's just a beautiful disaster.
He…. confuses me. One moment, I'm sure he feels the same fire that I do, but the next, he's back to the part of cold, unfeeling Winter Prince. And though, underneath that perfect face, I know there's a heart, I'm not sure what condition it's in. I'm not sure if it's a heart I want to see.
And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter, would it be beautiful, or just a beautiful disaster?
This journey is hard, and quite possibly fatal. And even if I make it through this journey, navigate this relationship with him, will it be worth it? Is his heart as beautiful as the rest of him?
