Title: Bad Luck

Prompt: "Heart"

Season: Spring

Timeline: Pre-Series


Deker was starting to see a pattern forming right before his eyes. If he wasn't strung out of his mind with a cold, he was recovering from accursed malady after being cursed or clawing his way out a battle.

Diend, before he disappeared, speculated the Deker was saddled with a lifetime of bad luck as result of the spell the Nighlok branded him with, a theory which didn't at all seem fair. He was starting to miss home, at least there things made a modicum of sense (somewhat) and if he got in trouble he didn't have to worry about a black cloud raining misery onto his head because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time

He was he good guy, what sense did it make to keep punishing him for being caught by the villains?

Everything seemed to end in waking up or sleeping in the tiny room in Mako's home, in the company of Dalia.

Which in and of itself seemed worth the misfortune when he thought about it. She took a wounded man, pulled him from his suspicions, and gave him her heart and a home. Her impression was so strong that he rarely thought of home unless in certain circumstances.

He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
