Pause the Sonata

Canon: Kingdoms and Thorn
Characters/Pairing: Ashen, Red Wolf
Prompt: I will remember you / Not the way you left but how you lived / And what you knew ~ "Wish You Well" by Katie Herzig
Rating:
Notes:

So we were discussing, this challenge buddy of mine and me, and in our discussing “Glass Angel” and the prompts she’d already given me, this popped out.

---

Jordan Michael wasn't worth stopping the sonata.

Ashen has just ended a relationship. Her leader is concerned.

Ha! Got more fic out of you. :)

Although... now I'm even more curious about these characters, and so maybe the joke's on me because I have to wait for more. :P

Any particular questions? :bats eyelashes:

Where to start? More with Red Wolf and Whisper, how they got together, why he has no memory, his exact relationship with Ashen. Maybe a bit of a teaser with the lead up to her happiness...

Lyrics, maybe...

I’ve lived a lifetime telling stories
About the way we live and die
When love was born it was a mystery
I’m yet to find
~Katie Herzig, "Summatra"

Or...

I wonder if you're wandering outside
Still tracing with your fingers all the colors in the sky
I'm looking out my window for a clue
Leaving a sign and hoping it finds you
I'll find you
~Katie Herzig "Oh My Darlin'"

Oh, I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
Oh, you must have missed it
You always do
~Ellie Goulding, "The Writer"

I love the way you prompt. And wow, way to zero in on the highlights of Red Wolf's story. Both of those were the biggest key milestones of his operative years, and one is firmly bound up in Justus' story. We shall see what we can do. :grins:

That's me going back to my "how did this character get here" reasoning. I have to know where they came from. Almost always.

And I spend way too much time listening to music and thinking about lyrics.

Red's story ties to Justus' story? Interesting. I look forward to seeing how.

So I ended up going back and adding in two scenes from Storm's perspective. Totally your fault.
