Prompt: Shackles
Rating: PG


Jacob thinks of Sam and Emily, bound together like prisoners by some supernatural force. He hardly believes it's love.

But when he thinks of Leah, full of flaws and insecurities, he knows he loves her, for better or worse; and yet, he's not sure why. She yells at him for things that aren't his fault. She turns every sweet little nothing into an insult that bites. She accuses him of caring too much, then not caring enough. And still he loves her.

Jacob chose Leah, despite everything, and he knows that that's far more than Sam and Emily can say.
