Liar (AJ)
"I love you, George."
Alanna hates liars. Almost as much as she hates those sexist pigs who think women can't be knights. She wonders if she's a liar whenever she says those words. She doesn't want to be. George is her best friend. But does she love him? She doesn't know.
"I love you, Jon."
She doesn't want to love that pompous, spoiled soul. But she thinks she does. And she hates herself for it. She knows it could never be. She's married, he's engaged. He's the king. And she just isn't cut out to be his queen.
"I love you, Jon."
Alanna doesn't dare say it out loud. It makes it final. It makes it real. It makes her a liar. And she doesn't know if she can deal with it. And then there's George. She knows he loves her. This makes her heart hurt just a bit more.
"I love you, George."
Alanna hates liars. Almost as much as she hates those sexist pigs who think women can't be knights. She knows she's a liar when she speaks those words. And she hates it. But, somehow, she's rather be a liar than admit it.
"I love you, Jon."
She lets herself whisper it, just once. It's the dead of the night, and she's standing at the head of Jonathan's grave. Her eyes are spilling tears. She's dirty, and her clothes are rumpled from the long horseback ride. No one can hear her. She lets herself admit it, just once, before her knees give out on her, and she lies down on the grave, trying to get as close as possible to Jon, drowning in her grief.
I, personally, don't really like this pairing. It's just WRONG. But it makes good writing and I got a request (Thank you sccrchic1432 ) to write an AJ. So I did it. Thanks all for reviewing.
A note on length:
I find it hard to write very long things. I don't know why. The length of each story will depend on the inspiration and motivation I have.
Thank you! Cheetahoflemurs
