He lied. 
For thirteen years that damnable man had lied to her. He’d scared the daylights out of her the one night she’d dared ask about Ashara Dayne- the last ime that woman’s name had been mentioned in Winterfell. 
The boy wasn’t even her child! He wasn’t Ned’s. Had anyone but Howland Reed spoken of Ned’s ba. . . the boy she’d probably have ignored it all, but Howland had been with him when he’d brought Jon home. 
Jon. . . the boys name probably wasn’t even Jon though he was certainly a Snow. Prince or not Rhaegar had had a wife when he stole Lyanna away; there’d not been a Targaryen in decades who had more than one wife. The boy was still a bastard but a royal one, not the bastard of the Warden of the North. 
Thank the old gods and the new no one in Winterfell was any the wiser, except maybe Rickon but he was too young to know what was happening. He just knew knocking wasn’t nearly as ikmportant when he came to crawl into her bed with Shaggy at night. Given a few days someone would realize something was wrong as Ned had been sleeping in his own chambers since the day after Howland arrived. The maids had still been changing her sheets as often as ever but it wasn’t due to anything more than Shaggy’s hair- though they knew surely as for the first time since Rickon’s birth they’d been changing Ned’s as well.
But really the maids weren’t what worried her. . . it was the boy. Her nephew. No one could know who his father really was but they- she- couldn’t well let the boy believe for the rest of his life as Ned’s bastard. 
“You two need to go change for the feast tonight.” Cat stood in the library door where the boys were at their lessons. With the Reeds leaving in the morning for the Neck this would be the last proper feast- as opposed to dinner in the hall- for a while. It wasn’t Robert or anyone terribly important no one would notice much if Jon sat with the boys as he usually did when it was just the family. . . he’d sat with them for days now despite Howland’s presence. 
“Maester Luwin will excuse you from the rest of your lessons, I spoke with him earlier- just this once.”

❝ ever since you had that dream, i haven’t had a decent night of sleep. ❞        ♡        @fynan​.
Tumblr media
❝ don’t be so dramatic. you still sleep like a child. ❞   their banter helps to direct their attention away from the stress of their search, and the rings beneath elsie’s eyes - which are present but less pronounced under finan’s. the dreams are getting more and more intense. it’s hard to want to try to sleep anymore, but his arms still feel like sanctuary, so he’s eventually able to coax her to bed each night. it’s clearly worrying him if he’s willing to set foot on a beach though. he’s never liked the ocean, despite living on an island.   ❝ the marina’s just down there, and you can wait at the shop while i take the boat out with mister finch. he’ll dive, he won’t find anything, and then we’ll go back home and forget about all of this. ❞   there’s no ancient shipwreck in this bay. there can’t be.

❝ then get me the hell out of here! ❞        ♡        @fynan​.
Tumblr media
❝ ... you heard the prince. get him out. ❞   elsie straightens back up and steps back, allowing the resistance members to handle the cell door. it’s been a very long time since she’s seen finan and it’s difficult to be sure if this is him. he hasn’t recognized her either, but she’s changed too, and she hasn’t told him who she is yet. there’s no guarantee he has memories of her. after all he’s been through, who’s to say his childhood friend occupies any of his thoughts? but there is something of fiadh in his eyes, in his bearing, and she’s willing to trust her gut. this has to be him. it has to be.

❝ i only want you. ❞        ♡        @fynan​.
Tumblr media
❝ i want you too, finan... but we don’t get to make that choice. not if we stay here. ❞   elsie doesn’t pull back from his touch. she’s terrified of the dark loneliness that follows his absence. as long as they are under the thumb of finan’s father, they can never obey their hearts. princess she may be, but not high enough in the line of succession to be considered for this prince. not to mention the love and loyalty in her heart for his mother, the woman his father loathes with every fiber of his being.

❛ stories tell a truth, if not precisely the truth. ❜ - from luke
Tumblr media
how the king of elfhame learned to hate stories        ♡        @heroscarred.
Tumblr media
❝ you might be right, socrates. ❞   the names of philosophers had become favorite nicknames for luke from the day he’d first introduced her to the idea of earthling philosophers. plenty of creatures had the capability for thought, and plenty of them had more capacity for it than humans did, but humans did think about certain things elsie had never considered thinking about before. not in depth, anyways. as it turns out, luke is a brilliant partner for after-dinner discussions and debates - far better than fitch, who was endlessly bored by everything.   ❝ but that might depend on what you define as truth. ❞
