39 Truths: Arthur
He never really loved her. He was more in love with the horrifyingly fascinating history of her family- their never ending greed, their pain and suffering, and most of all, their inability to rule as one. And her mother knew. Sometimes he was sure that Hope knew it to. When she dances in the flames that will finally overcome here- he suddenly sees it. Her grace [no pun intended]. Her beauty that the fire can't- just can't conquer. He sees the woman he fell in love with without even realizing. He sees the woman who is separate from her name and bloody history. Arthur holds on to it, sobbing because he couldn't see the truth. And then, his world is on fire.
A/N: I am so sorry for not updating- I was overwhelmed. So, I tried to make a happy fic- it didn't come out so well. This was better than the happy one, so this is what I put up. I'll take requests, just so you know. Anyway, review!
Holy crap. I thought I published this a few days ago, and I was wondering why my inbox wasn't exploding because of all you fantastic reviewers. Then I realized I hadn't published it. I am so, so sorry! Anyway, enjoy and happy holidays!
