Teaser: a love story told in blips

Author's Notes: nothing really important to say…? 'Cept reviews make my world go 'round? Please?


o011. Earth
he slides across the mud to reach her and hold her pale, thin body in his arms and suddenly the blood that stains his sword isn't nearly enough

o012. End
Ike's sweating just a little bit, heaving Regnall over his shoulder, and her arms that hold Rexbolt are shaking as she lowers herself down beside his ragged body, whispering into his ear that they've won

o013. Fall
using magick—anima magick anyway; she should ask Rhys about it later—is a bit like falling into a black abyss, especially when you've exhausted yourself, and he says swinging a sword can feel the same way

o014. Fire
Ilyana never mastered fire magick and Zihark's shirttails have the scorches to prove it

o015. Flexible
when the slip of mage arches backward to avoid an arrow zipping over her head, Zihark finds himself drooling instead of worrying, washed away in a series of rather… interesting fantasies the move conjures

o016. Flying
when Ilyana shrieks with glee as Ulki lifts her into the air, Zihark tells himself he's certainly not jealous even though he does consider changing his opinion of laguz, or at least the bird ones

o017. Food
everyone sighs over true love the night when Ilyana decides to follow Zihark to his training session instead of sticking around for a fourth meal

o018. Foot
"I find myself having fantasies about your feet," Zihark tells her as he lifts her over his shoulders to a tree branch, looking at the only place he can without having truly dirty thoughts

o019. Grave
she tells him her parents are buried in Crimea and he stands beside her as she weeps because she's not quite sure where

o020. Green
the color of grass doesn't exactly suit her, but Zihark likes it better than the whiteness of the disease that pales Ilyana's cheeks in the frigid cold


Reviews

drunkdragon: actually, once I finish with the sentences here I'm posting a bunch of drabbles. I started writing the Zihark/Ilyana stuff with a different tablet, got stuck, and decided to write drabbles for the themes I liked.
