HEAD OVER FEET
Disclaimer: I don't own Alanna, George, or anything else created by Tamora Pierce. Also, I don't own the song 'Head Over Feet.'
AN/ OK, this was just a little idea I got during summer break, while listening to Alanis Morrisette, and I hope you like it! Occasionally, I'll throw in quotes from the books. It's in Alanna's POV, and anything in italics is the song. If it's bold, it's from the books. Please review!
ALANNA'S POV
I woke up and looked at George. I didn't have to turn my head, or shift at all. I always woke up facing him. It was the one thing that always stayed the same. I thought about the first time he told me about his feelings for me; back when I was a squire to Jonathan...
I had no choice,
but to hear you.
You stated your case
time and again.
I thought
About it.
Jonathan's taunts about her lack of femininity had stung and stuck, and the look in George's eyes when she appeared in a soft lilac wool dress went far towards healing those wounds.
You treat me like,
I'm a princess.
I'm not used to
Liking that.
You ask how my day was.
You've already won me over
in spite of me.
Don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet.
And don't be surprised
If I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it,
It's all your fault.
Even though I didn't know it until much later, I loved him from the moment he kissed me.
Your love is thick,
and it swallowed me whole.
You're so much braver,
Than I give you credit for.
That's not lip service.
And in Port Caynn, I realized that I wanted to spend forever with him. I remember telling him, "I don't know what love is. At least, not the kind you're talking about – the forever kind." Now I know.
You've already won me over
in spite of me.
Don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet.
And don't be surprised
If I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it,
It's all your fault.
It took me so long to get over Jonathan, and George waited for me, no matter what. Even if he'd had to wait a hundred years, he would have.
You are the bearer
of unconditional things.
You held your breath,
And the door for me,
Thanks for your patience.
Whenever I have a problem, I know I can tell George. Not because he's my husband, and feels obligated to listen, but because he's my best friend, so he wants to listen.
You're the best listener
That I've ever met.
You're my best friend,
Best friend with benefits.
What took me so long?
I feel so much better just being around him, than I do anywhere else.
I've never felt
This healthy before.
I never wanted
Something rational.
I am aware now.
I am aware now.
You've already won me over
in spite of me.
Don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet.
And don't be surprised
If I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it,
It's all your fault.
George woke up next to me. Time to start another day...with the man I love.
I hope you liked it! Granted, it's not my best work, but certainly not my worst! If you liked it, please check out my other TP story, The Darkness. If you like Lord of the Rings, please read Vanima, also by me.
