Fluff, Relationships, and Traditions

This entry is part 52 of 52 in the series 365 Challenge

So characters have habits, ways they interact with certain people and situations, things they do and like to do, stories and histories together. I've known a lot of my characters' for a long time but getting them all into fic is interesting, particularly for the ones I don't know that for.

I've got about five novelettes I want to turn out plus a short story, created out of the 5 Things Meme and then the whole Pieter/Ashen dynamic that originally played in my head before I even wrote that first Ashen drabble (and it is awesome to me, but got sidelined drastically with a deluge of other prompts), but, but, but...

I'm on day 265 of my challenge and story count 157 and I'm still plying angles and there's all those little things above that I'm itching to nibble at. Want to help a girl out?

Particularly of interest to me are things like where does Wesley work (not sure actually), and then relationship things that I haven't gotten to like how Justus always recognizes Shift regardless of her current form or demeanor, friendships, sibling relationships, Ilsa and her husband, etc.

Calling for prompts, as promised:

  1. character(s) and/or canon/fandom
  2. random word, quote, or other prompt

Oh, and I'll try to keep it short and fluffy or sweet. Try is the operative word. :grins:

Kingdoms and Thorn Ficlet: The Fox and the Wolf

Red Wolf was sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table in the living room, working on taxes. In a good year, taxes were hard, now that he owed in what were technically multiple countries for all manner of kinds of work.

"We should move to a tax-free zone," he muttered to himself as he marked up a set of forms in red ink.

He could feel quiet motion around him in the open space of the living room and kitchen. Whisper when he felt for her energy, but for the most part, he didn't.

"Niq retu?" she asked sotto voice in… Alaric.

He narrowed his eyes and translated the words in his head. She preferred the language, but it wasn't his native. What's bothering you? He shook his head ruefully. "Myrrwick." He slid smoothly into the low tonal language himself. "They're taxing vigilantes now."

She hummed thoughtfully to herself, then went quiet again. He thought little of it until she was settling in beside him and handing him a cup of iced tea. He caught her wrist and kissed it lightly before noting he could deduct his train fare to the other cities.

Whisper shook her head beside him, then leaned over and kissed him gently. When she pulled away, she was smiling slightly as she got to her feet and said, "Don't stay up too late," over her shoulder on the way to the bedroom.

She did that sometimes. Distracted him when she decided what he was doing wasn't vitally urgent. He groaned and ran one hand through his hair then went back to write something and realized she had stolen his pen.

"Red Fox," he muttered heatedly, calling her by another name she often took, and went to go extract vengeance of a kind he doubted she would mind.

Lol. I think she had that kind of vengeance in mind. :)

And being distracted from taxes is always good, right?

She probably did indeed.

Amen, sister!
