20 Themes Gary/ Cythera
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Roses
Cythera had always been compared to a rose. She hated it. She loved roses but she did not like being compared to a flower.
Desk
His friends teased him saying he would end up being a desk knight. He didn't want to believe it, he hated to believe it but something about those files sitting on his desk called to him. They were just so interesting.
Court
Cythera enjoyed court. She enjoyed the pretty gowns, she enjoyed the jewels and feeling beautiful but she enjoyed the company too.
Cythera
Gary had never seen a fairer girl. Not even Delia could compare to the graceful blonde who stood before him, a small smile curving her lips. One that wasn't shy, nor coy, or even remotely fake. It was a clever trick that he knew came naturally to her.
Amusement
He was amusing. She let Delia have her Prince and Duke. She was happy enough with Gary and his charming words. She liked being herself with him and that was enough for her.
Delia
Gary realized what Delia was playing with when she started flirting with him. She would have all of them, and she would make sure of it. When she left him it left a bitter taste in his mouth and he had to find Cythera for he couldn't bear to see the emerald eyed brunette any longer.
Roger
Duke Roger of Conte was charming indeed. Cythera however, found there were parts of him that she did not like and she knew that Delia probably loved them. He was too careless and cruel for her taste.
Harmony
Her mare. She loved being able to say that. Not a single lady in court had been given a horse that year and when Gary had brought the pretty little bay mare and given her to Cythera she'd felt at peace. They'd contemplated names but Harmony was the only one that truly attached to Cythera.
Balls
Balls were getting more outrageous in her opinion. They were careless now that the Queen's health was declining rapidly, the Duke was dead and Delia was exiled from the groups.
Expect
Cythera was not what he expected. He had expected a lot of things but when he found her, sitting outside the ballroom looking fully disgusted he felt like there was a new corner in her mind, a new turn in his life and it was one that he liked but had been surprised to find.
Death
The death of her Queen was harsh. Gary had no inclination that Cythera had been so close and loyal to the Queen but at the sight of her pale figure in a window a week afterwards proved to him, that she was more loyal to the Queen than her own son.
Hurt
It hurt to see that even the Prince did not care for his mother so much. He took it hard, oh yes he did but he was too busy doing other things. His father was taking it hard too but it hurt the most to see that the entire court had said "it was coming".
Compassion
Cythera had to be the most compassionate person he'd ever met. She sat for hours just holding someone's hand while they moaned about their own problems and never once contradicted or snapped at them. It was a quality that he could not find in anyone else.
Naturally
"You love her don't you," Jonathon commented one afternoon watching him watch Cythera as she sewed.
"Naturally," and it did come quite naturally to him.
Reconstruction
When the Duke Roger came to court again, by the chance of a lucky young mage Cythera could hardly bear to be in the same room as a walking dead man. To her, Roger would always be dead whether he was breathing or not.
Coronation
He should have known. He should have known there was something terrible in plan when the coronation began and all he could think of was Cythera.
When the ground started shaking, the only thing that flashed to her mind was the death of Gary and how she would never live again if he died.
Peace
Peace started afterwards. Gary proposed, she began her new life but things were missing and she couldn't imagine what.
Plenty
They had plenty of things. They could never fall out of love with each other, they had money and Cythera's dowry gave them even more. They had plenty of kindness for each other and others, and compassion on Cythera's part. Nothing was missing and everyone commented upon t hat.
Children
They had children. Naturally, it was something Cythera wanted. They had a son and a daughter and were expecting their third any day.
New Century
A new century was beginning but Cythera did not realize how involved they would be. Gary himself didn't realize either. They were not as involved as Raoul, Alanna and various others but they were involved and their names would be in history. That was more then enough for them both.
A/N: I really don't like these that much. But I think I'm done. I may add a new chapter like any time I randomly get the ideas for new themes, but this is my last set pairing. I thought I was going to go farther but I've got a lot of school work piling up ), and I have other obligations so I figured this was a good place to stop. I covered most of the commoner pairings, and if I figure one that I want to do I without a doubt will do it and add it.
