5 Things Meme—of the Ficlet Variety

[scribblemyname]

This entry is part 44 of 51 in the series 365 Challenge

Gacked from penknife:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in comments. (examples: "Five SG-1 Mission Reports That Were Less Than Entirely Truthful", or "Five Times Bruce Banner Lost His Toothbrush," or "Five Ways Nikola Tesla Failed to Take Over the World"). I'll answer with a list of five things.

Ideally fandoms that I know something about, unless you want me to guess, which could be entertaining but probably not the way you want. Or (and preferably) original fiction. All storyworlds on the table, i.e. Seven Days, Kingdoms and Thorn, the Alliance, Vardin, etc.

Kingdoms and Thorn Ficlet: Simply Because – Spoilers

[scribblemyname]

A/N: So this is kinda your “and one time she did” but still fits the bill of one time she wasn’t in love with Justus.

---

“So when did you fall in love with my brother?” Justus’ younger sister Charity asked.

Rachelle would peg that one at about fourteen or fifteen years old. This was the first time in years that his family was all together under one roof and the first she had ever met them.

Justus glanced quickly at Rachelle.

She gave Charity a somewhat puzzled look, even though a part of her knew that children tended toward that assumption. “I didn’t.”

Joseph, the oldest brother, coughed and nearly lost his coffee. Justus’ parents looked startled. Charity and her two slightly older sisters seemed frozen altogether. The youngest boy, Patrick, screwed up his face in confusion.

“I’m not in love with him,” Rachelle said, amusement slowly taking over the mild surprise at their reactions.

“Then why did you marry him?” Sarah, the oldest sister, asked, thoroughly bewildered.

Rachelle shrugged and met Justus’ even gaze. He hadn’t been taken by surprise. “Because I love him.” It was as simple as that.

That would confuse most people. His poor family. They don't know what they're in for with Rachelle.

but Justus does. :)

They truly accept each other for exactly who they are. I love that about them.

As for the family... Poor family: got it in one. :grins:

Accepting people for who they are is what love is about, really, whether that's family or friends or more.

There might have to be some fluff pieces with the family when it's fest time again.

Amazing how that always happens. One fic leads to another and another and another...

It's a never ending vicious cycle.
