Teaser: the pieces fit together like a puzzle board
Author's Notes: lj 1sentence community challenge. Fifty themes, 1 sentence for each.And since the only couples I like from PoR are Zihark/Ilyana, Lethe/Ranulf, and Ike/Elincia I decided Zihark and Ilyana needed some lovin'. Though the other two are in desperate need…
Ah… don't hate me because they're sentences? Review me anyway?
/Adrift/
o01. Air
the air around the Port of Toha is crisp with a sea spray, but Ilyana's suddenly unbearably hot when his rich blue eyes slide over to her form
o02. Apples
it's funny how the first thing he thinks when he's kissing her is of the fruit but, then, she is clutching it tightly in her palm
o03. Beginning
Zihark first notices her on the ship bound for Begnion and as the wind ruffles her softly purple hair he recognizes the feeling of starting something
o04. Bugs
who would have thought? she thinks as she lifts the spider away, chuckling mercilessly to herself, the big, bad swordsmaster is afraid of insects?
o05. Coffee
warmth in Daein is a commodity and he can't quite stomach the sludge Ike puts together and settles for holding her tight against him instead
o06. Dark
it slithers out from the corners of her mind and she whimpers in her sleep, not even peaceful when Zihark holds her through the entire night
o07. Despair
"Ike's dead," Ilyana cries softly into his shoulder that fateful day in Crimae, "and I couldn't stop it."
o08. Doors
when they tell her that Muston and the rest of them are dead and it will take till spring to thaw their bodies out, she locks the sadness in another place he won't be able to touch
o09. Drink
"ugh, you're drunk," Ilyana says but can't say much more as Zihark's intoxicated lips clamp firmly over hers; the only time he's been brave enough to do so
o010. Duty
he goes back to Crimae when Ike calls because he owes Ike everything and she works down the bitterness that their Lord General didn't call her back too
notes: there are fifty sentences, that's about five chapters. I do hope you plan to stick around for them all. Of course, because these are merely sentences… updates will be fast. I hope.
