Liandrin x Moiraine

This is pure smut, and my first time sharing a fanfic publicly.

Based on the interactions of Moiraine and Liandrin in the show. I have read up to book 8, and book Liandrin is very different, but I loved the Liandrin/Moiraine dynamic in the show and thought I'd write a bit of a smutty, exploratory backstory :D

Liandrin's POV

One sweltering summer afternoon in the White Tower of Tar Valon, ten young women were waiting in their classroom, waiting for their Accepted teacher to arrive.

Liandrin Guirale sat at the front of the class. Several of the other girls were fanning themselves and complaining about the heat, but Liandrin prided herself on her ability to be unaffected by temperature. It took concentration, but to remain unflappable and smooth faced despite the temperature was an important Aes Sedai skill.

And Liandrin was determined, she was going to become an Aes Sedai. The Creator had given her the ability to channel, and that was her way out of the despair and poverty of her childhood.

Since her arrival at the tower several years ago, Liandrin had been determined to prove to the world and the other women at the tower that she was noble, and worthy of her place in the tower. Once she was an Aes Sedai, no one would ever suspect her low beginnings. Liandrin would make sure of it.

Liandrin's heart fluttered in her chest as her Accepted teacher entered the room.

Moiraine Domandred. Everything about Moiraine was noble, from her pale porcelain skin to the way she spoke and carried herself. Moiraine was someone who had never had to fight for recognition, never had to fight to prove herself worthy. Everything she had had been handed to her on a silver spoon. Until she came to the tower. Liandrin wondered what that must have been like, to have been one of the highest born, and expected to scrub floors and do chores and wear white just like everyone else.

Look at her, she thinks she's better than all of us. I hate her, Liandrin thought to herself as Moiraine stood in front of the novices, trying to convince herself of that thought. However, it was hard to hate someone so beautiful, with skin as pale as porcelain, and eyes blue like the ocean on a hot summer's day. The thought of Moiraine's porcelain white skin, her ivory neck arched… dominated Liandrin's mind. Arched in pain or pleasure Liandrin couldn't tell, but she didn't care either. She just knew that being around Moiraine made her feel a deep yearning, and the only other time she had felt that way was when she was channeling.

It was hard to pin down exactly what she felt about Moiraine.
Other novices had gushed about feeling butterflies when they watched the young men training to become Warders , and sometimes other novices had "pillow friends", girls who would sleep in the same room and "comfort" each other, but Liandrin had never felt anything like that towards a man, and she had never allowed herself to become close enough to another novice to have a pillow friend. Friends were dangerous, and no one could be trusted.

Admiration was part of it, surely. Jealousy, perhaps? Moiraine and her closest friend Siuan were the fastest women promoted to Accepted in centuries. They were both extremely powerful channelers, and everyone said they'd be Aes Sedai in a matter of years.

Moiraine cleared her throat and began her lesson. Today she was talking about the Three Oaths.

Using a piece of chalk, she wrote the following words on the blackboard.

To speak no word that is not true

To make no weapon with which one man may kill another

Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Darkfriends or Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme defense of her life, the life of her Warder, or another Aes Sedai

"Today we are focusing on the second oath. Recite it, Liandrin," Moiraine nodded at Liandrin.

"An Aes Sedai must make no weapon to kill another," Liandrin stated.

"No, I want the exact words, Liandrin. When swearing the oaths, you are bound to these exact words. Words and their meanings are important, and these words have been chosen carefully. Try again."

Liandrin smiled. "Of course, an Aes Sedai must make no weapon with which one man may kill another,"

"Correct," Moiraine nodded at Liandrin, and despite herself, Liandrin felt a smile twitch at the corner of her mouth. Moiraine smiled back and continued with her lecture.

DAMN HER, Liandrin thought to herself as her heart leapt with joy at the returned smile. I hate how she makes me feel like I want to impress her! She's just another bloody noble.

Yes, a part of Liandrin eagerly wanted Moiraine to be impressed. Despite her inner conflict, Liandrin raised her hand and asked "If the specific words are important, this means there is some leeway in the oaths, yes? So, a sister could make a weapon, but as long as it cannot be used by a man to kill another man, it doesn't break the Oath? Or if the weapon can only hurt someone, but not kill them, that is permitted?"

The other girls gasped and muttered about never wanting to kill anyone, however Liandrin was not stupid. There were times that weapons were necessary, in war, or to protect oneself from men who took things from little girls in the dark.

Moiraine considered Liandrin carefully. Liandrin felt as though she was being seen by Moiraine for the first time, truly seen, and not just as another novice. Their eyes met and for a moment Liandrin felt a connection to a darkness in Moiraine's eyes. Then Moiraine spoke firmly-

"This is not the place to be discussing the loopholes in the Oaths, nor should you be seeking them. Novice Liandrin, you are to see me after dinner for punishment."

"Buh-" Liandrin started to say something but thought better of it and closed her mouth. Yes, Accepted Moiraine," she nodded. Complaining only made punishments worse, she had experienced that enough in her time at the tower. Liandrin didn't know whether she felt sick or excited. She would be spending time alone with the teacher she had yearned to impress yet feared at the same time.

The afternoon dragged on after that. Classes, chores, more classes, more chores. Dinner was a welcome break, although the food was simple fare. Hard bread and a stew made from the garden vegetables, seasoned with spices from all over the land. While other girls picked at their stew, Liandrin ate hers quickly. While she wasn't looking forward to being punished, she was looking forward to seeing Moiraine alone.

Once she had finished she washed her dishes and walked swiftly to the Accepted quarters.

Moiraine was waiting for her in the corridor outside the Accepted quarters. "Follow me," she said sternly, and Liandrin obeyed.

They walked in silence until they reached the Gardens, at which point Moiraine turned to Liandrin and said "No one will hear us now. Liandrin, it is important to think carefully about each word you speak, especially once you become an Aes Sedai. You are not being punished for thinking critically about the Oaths, but you have much to learn."

Liandrin wasn't sure what to say, so she just nodded and kept walking. When they reached the end of the gardens, they walked into the Green Ajah quarters. "Through here," Moiraine motioned as she opened a door.

Inside, dusty leather-bound books and scrolls littered the floor, and wooden shelves half filled with books lined the walls.

A fire was lit in the small fireplace, and a black kettle hung on a wire over the fire. There was a table with several stacks of books, a small leather bound notebook, and a fountain pen and ink pot. Two green velvet backed chairs were in front of the fire. "You have a sharp mind but you are too quick to speak, novice Liandrin," Moiraine looked at her grimly before continuing.

"I've been cataloguing the books in the Green Ajah library, writing down the name, author, and time period it's from, then putting them back on the shelf together with other similar books. You are to help me, Liandrin," Moiraine said as she handed a scroll and quill to Liandrin, "but you are not to say a word. Not even a sound. That is your punishment," she smirked.

This was a side to Moiraine that Liandrin had never seen before. She was used to the strict, lecturing Moiraine, but to learn she had a playful side… those thoughts of Moiraine from earlier in the day returned. Moiraine's mouth curled in a slight smile as she turned away from Liandrin and started on a large pile of dusty books by the green chair.

The two worked in silence for a while, writing down the details of each book, then placing it back on the shelf with other books in the same category. There was a nice rhythm to their work, and Liandrin enjoyed seeing Moiraine absorbed in her task. The way she mumbled the words she was writing. The way she reached up to push her hair over her ear with her small delicate hands. She was so beautiful, and her skin looked so soft and inviting, just begging to be touched. Liandrin shook herself. Moiraine was too proper to ever think such behaviour was appropriate, and if she did ever fancy the fairer sex, Liandrin doubted a noble lady like her would look twice at a lowly Taraboner from the streets like herself.

Liandrin would have to settle for being in the same room as her, being able to watch her work. There was such beauty in the way Moiraine moved, effortlessly as if she was moving on weaves of air.

"Liandrin? Would you like some tea?" Moiraine asked as she poured herself a cup of tea. Liandrin nodded.

Moiraine handed her another cup and as Liandrin took it, their hands brushed slightly. The feeling was electrifying. Liandrin looked up and saw a curious expression on Moiraine's face.

"Are you alright, Novice Liandrin? Is it too hot?" she asked.

Liandrin shook her head as she sat on the rug in front of the fire.

Moiraine sat down next to her, so close she was almost touching. She looked around the room. The stacks on the floor were smaller, and Liandrin's notebook was half filled already with the details.

"The Green Ajah is the Battle Ajah. If you wanted to learn about weapons, this is the most likely place," Moiraine said as she sipped her tea gingerly.

"It also has a very comfortable rug, don't you think?" Moiraine asked as she rubbed her hand across the rug in front of the fire.

She shifted her weight so their thighs were touching. Moiraine sipped her tea and Liandrin felt her stomach flutter as she watched Moiraine's lips caress her teacup.

Liandrin shivered. Was Moiraine… flirting with her?

"Have you ever kissed a woman, Novice Liandrin?" Moiraine said, then quickly placed her finger on Liandrin's lips, shushing her. "Remember, you can't speak. If you speak, I'll send you to Cadsuane Sedai for punishment and you won't have as much fun with her." Liandrin shook her head. No, she had never kissed a woman.

"I've seen the way you look at me, Liandrin. You look at me like you want to kiss me. Do you want to kiss me?" asked Moiraine as her fingers gently traced Liandrin's jawline.

Liandrin hesitated, then nodded a tentative yes. In that hesitation were a million thoughts, ranging from disbelief that this was actually happening, to a heightened awareness of all the blood in her body rushing to where it felt good, to where she had longed to be touched.

Moiraine placed her teacup on the floor, and took the teacup from Liandrin and put it aside. She then sat in front of Liandrin, and gently took her hands.

She moved her face within an inch of Liandrin's, and Liandrin could feel Moiraine's breath on her lips.

"Then kiss me, Liandrin."

So Liandrin did.

As their lips touched it felt as though a firework had been lit in her belly. They both leaned forward into the kiss, bodies touching, and Liandrin felt Moiraine's tongue dart along her lower lip, as if seeking permission to enter.

Liandrin opened her mouth slightly and Moiraine's pink, wet tongue pushed inside hungrily. Liandrin moaned as Moiraine pulled her closer towards her.

Moiraine suddenly pulled away from the kiss. "Ah ah … not a sound, Liandrin. You are not to make a sound. No matter…" Moiraine kissed Liandrin's neck "how good…" she continued kissing up to Liandrin's ear "it feels…" she whispered. Moiraine licked her ear and Liandrin bit her tongue to stop herself from squealing.

"Do you like that?" Moiraine giggled, as she did it again.

She could feel the Accepted's breasts press against her own, their chests heaving together as lust swelled like an ocean in her belly.

Liandrin felt an ache between her thighs, and she wriggled her hips. Moiraine continued kissing Liandrin as she reached a hand down under the waistband of Liandrin's skirts, pausing and making eye contact, until Liandrin nodded consent. Moiraine's hand found her warm mound, still covered by an underskirt. Moiraine used hand to push against Liandrin's mound. The indirect pressure felt so good that Liandrin started grinding her hips against Moiraine's hand.

Moiraine untucked Liandrin's shirt with her other hand, and slender fingers slid up on Liandrin's smooth pale skin until she found her soft breast.

Desperate for more of her skin to be touched, Liandrin pulled her own shirt off, exposing her soft breasts and pink erect nipples.

Moiraine smiled and immediately went to work with her mouth, licking at Liandrin's nipples, sucking one with her mouth and tweaking the other with her hand. Liandrin almost moaned but caught herself, and panted silently instead.

"Good girl," Moiraine whispered with her mouth full of Liandrin's nipple. She kept sucking on Liandrin's nipple as she moved her hand under the second layer of skirts and touched Liandrin gently on her labia.

"Is this ok?" Moiraine asked. Liandrin nodded. Moiraine's finger slipped down between Liandrin's lips and made contact with her nub.

Liandrin involuntarily arched her back with pleasure. Moiraine continued sucking on her breast as she tapped Liandrin's clitoris, then started rubbing it gently, back and forth, up and down, around and around. Liandrin's hips were rocking with pleasure, grinding on Moiraine's fingers.

Moiraine pushed Liandrin onto the ground, and pulled the younger girl's skirts down. She pulled her own clothes off, and was completely naked.

She then lay on top of Liandrin with her hand still between her thighs, rubbing faster now as Liandrin's hips continued to wiggle. Their breasts pressed together, and Moiraine kissed Liandrin's neck, which sent shivers down to all the right places.

Moiraine slowed her pace, and then kissed her way down Liandrin's body, tracing circles with her tongue, still rubbing on Liandrin's clitoris. She stopped at Liandrin's bellybutton, and thrust her tongue inside, moaning as she did so.

She continued further down, licking across the top of Liandrin's pubic hair, then pushed Liandrin's legs apart and licked her inner thighs, each side, as she got achingly close to where Liandrin wanted her.

Moiraine licked Liandrin's outer labia. She was so ACHINGLY close. Liandrin's breathing grew ragged and she let out a whimper.

"Oh, for that I'll have to tease you some more," Moiraine said with a smirk, as she moved her mouth away from Liandrin's centre, and began kissing Liandrin's leg.

She placed her mouth behind Liandrin's knee, and started licking in small circles.

Her hot, wet mouth felt unbelievably good behind Liandrin's knee. Liandrin didn't know that having her knee licked could feel so incredible!

Moiraine moved her fingers down towards Liandrin's entrance. She inserted a finger slowly, as she kept licking the back of Liandrin's knee. Moiraine thrust her finger in, and out, achingly slowly as she kept licking behind Liandrin's knee. Liandrin could feel her breath growing ragged. Was she going to come? From having her knee licked?

"I need to taste you," Moiraine said, and she licked a trail down Liandrin's inner thigh until FINALLY Liandrin felt her tongue touch her aching bud.

Gentle licks at first, back and forth, as Moiraine continued to thrust her finger in and out of Liandrin's womanhood.

MOIRAINE'S POV

Moiraine could feel Liandrin's clitoris growing harder as she licked. She started sucking then, placing her mouth around the young woman's bud and breathing in as she flicked her tongue back and forth, side to side. Still thrusting with her finger, she inserted a second finger, and began rubbing at the rough spot she could feel just inside Liandrin's vaginal wall. Liandrin jerked her hips with pleasure.

The girl was whimpering softly now, but Moiraine no longer cared. She had the novice's pussy in her mouth, her juices tasted like pomegranate, sweet yet salty.

Moiraine could feel Liandrin's legs shaking around her shoulders as she continued licking, sucking, and thrusting. She was close. Her breathing was getting more ragged. Moiraine loved this part, making a girl come undone with her tongue.

It was almost as good as touching the source. Not quite, but almost. She

Just then Moiraine felt a wetness splash over her hand. YES! She looked up at Liandrin who seemed to be in a panic. "It's normal, don't worry," Moiraine reassured the girl. Liandrin relaxed and went back to enjoying what Moiraine was doing with her hand. Moiraine returned to sucking on Liandrin's clit, and snaked her other hand up to grasp at Liandrin's nipple as she kept thrusting her hand in and out of Liandrin's vagina.

The girl was close again. Moaning, she was grinding her hips on Moiraine's face. Liandrin's hands were in Moiraine's hair, gripping it as she chased her climax.

Moiraine thrust harder, sucked harder, and felt Liandrin's walls start squeezing around her fingers.

Moiraine moaned into Liandrin's pussy, and kept at the same pace and intensity, though it was becoming harder to push against Liandrin's tensing muscles.

"Come for me," Moiraine said as she kept licking, thrusting, and thrusting.

At that, Liandrin's whole body shook, and the girl orgasmed around Moiraine's fingers, muscles clenching and releasing, clenching and releasing.

As her twitching stopped and breathing became normal again, Moiraine slowly removed her slick fingers, and crawled up Liandrin's body until they were lying face to face, staring into each other's brilliant blue eyes.

The girl was beautiful, Siuan Sanche was right. Siuan was Moiraine's usual "pillowfriend", they had slept in the same bed since they were novices.

Siuan had suggested they branch out and explore relationships with other people, as they would be leaving the tower once they became full sisters, and a close friendship such as theirs could be used against them in the political games of Tar Valon. They could still see each other, but it would now have to be infrequent, and in secret.
Moiraine still longed to hold Siuan's body close, as it had now been several weeks since they shared a bed, but she could see the joy in experiencing pleasure with others too.
