❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜

❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜

❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

❛ do you mind if i smoke? ❜

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

▐║ ♡ ┊ 𝐓𝐇𝐄  𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒  𝐀𝐑𝐄  𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃  𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒  𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍  𝐇𝐄𝐑  𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇,  spoken  carefully  lest  they  bring  more  pain  than  is  necessary  for  them  both.  It  should  not  hurt  so  much.  They  both  knew  this  day  was  coming;  neither  of  them  was  foolish  enough  to  think  otherwise.  At  least  .  .  .  she  had  thought  they'd  both  known  better.  Perhaps  they  had  been  too  reckless  with  themselves,  too  lost  in  the  illusion  of  something  fleeting.  A  woman  of  her  standing  in  this  realm  can  choose  her  lovers  as  she  pleases,  with  enough  discretion,  but  whom  she  is  to  wed  has  always  been  a  matter  for  her  father  to  decide  as  the  Lord  and  headship  of  their  house.

She  has  always  known,  and  yet  .  .  .  it  hurts  to  speak  truth  to  it.  To  see  Bayard  stand  there with  such  decisive  indifference.  That  is  what  hurts  the  most  about  it  all,  the  way  they  both  stand  before  each  other  and  pretend  as  if  they  are  unaffected.  But  what  else  could  be  expected?  They  were  both  raised  to  be  mindful  of  the  duties  laid  before  them;  his  to  be  a  steadfast  protector,  hers  to  become  some  other  man's  wife  and  give  him  heirs.  It  is  unsurprising  when  Bayard  reaffirms  his  service,  his  vow  to  her,  but  Margaery  can  feel  her  heart  fracture  a  little  bit  more.  He  is  calm.  He  is  taking  this  news  with  a  dignity  that  befits  him.  So  why  does  she  selfishly  wish  otherwise?  Why  do  her  eyes  search  his  every  expression,  trying  to  find  any  evidence  that  this  is  felt  more  deeply  than  it  appears,  just  as  he  searches  her  own?  Whatever  measure  of  absolution  they  seek  in  each  other,  it  makes  no  difference.  She  will  still  be  wed  to  another.

❝  Renly  Baratheon.  He  intends  to  contest  for  the  throne  now  that  Robert  is  dead,  ❞  Margaery  answers  him,  her  voice  growing  quiet,  hesitant,  before  she  lets  the  weight  of  her  next  words  fall  between  them.  ❝  I  will  be  his  queen.  ❞  She  supposes  it  would  have  happened  one  way  or  another.  Margaery  was  already  aware  of  how  Renly  and  her  brother  had  plotted  to  all  but  sell  her  to  Robert  before  he  died.  She  cannot  say  if  her  father  had  known  or  not,  but  Mace  certainly  would  have  approved;  it  has  always  been  his  greatest  ambition  to  have  his  own  blood  someday  sit  the  highest  throne  of  all,  and  Margaery,  as  his  sole  daughter,  is  his  key  to  such  a  future.

❝  I  suppose  my  father  will  be  getting  what  he  has  always  wanted,  ❞  the  Tyrell's  lips  smile  weakly,  a  frail  attempt  to  comfort,  but  she  fails  to  hide  the  sadness  that  dulls  her  jade  eyes.  ❝  I  .  .  .  I  would  understand  if  you  wished  to  no  longer  serve  as  my  sword.  I  shall  not  begrudge  you,  should  you  ask  to  be  relieved  of  your  service.  ❞  She  stops,  swallowing,  forcing  the  words  from  her  mouth,  ❝  It  would  give  you  more  freedom  to  find  your  own  match,  if  you  wish.  ❞

@rosecrowned asked: ❝ I am to wed someone else. ❞ (bayard, her telling him she has to marry renly or joffrey maybe oop)

For   a   moment,   Bayard   did   not   move.   He   stood   where   he   was,   hands   curled   at   his   sides,   the   weight   of   his   bow   suddenly   a   burden   he   had   not   felt   before.   The   air   between   them   felt   too   still,   too   fragile,   as   if   the   wrong   breath   might   break   it   entirely.

Margaery   watched   him,   her   face   a   perfect   mask   of   calm,   of   quiet   regret.   She   had   never   been   cruel   to   him,   and   even   now,   with   those   words   lingering   in   the   space   between   them,   she   was   not.   I   am   to   wed   someone   else.

Bayard   had   always   known   this   day   would   come.   Of   course   he   had.   He   had   never   been   fool   enough   to   think   she   would   be   fully   his.   But   knowing   and   hearing   were   two   different   things,   and   the   sound   of   it   struck   deeper   than   any   blade   ever   could.   His   jaw   tightened.   He   had   thought   himself   prepared,   but   what   was   preparation   against   inevitability?

“I   see,”   he   said   at   last,   his   voice   steady.   Measured.   As   if   this   did   not   matter.   As   if   she   did   not   matter.   A   lie,   all   of   it.   “Then   my   duty   remains   unchanged.   I   am   still   your   sword.”   A   knight   of   Tyrell.   A   sworn   sword.   That   was   all   he   had   ever   been   to   her.   All   he   could   ever   be.And   yet,   even   now,   he   did   not   step   back.   Did   not   bow   and   take   his   leave.   His   eyes   lingered   on   hers,   searching,   though   he   could   not   say   what   for.   Some   hint   of   hesitation?   Some   sign   that   she—   No.   That   was   dangerous   thinking.   His   hand   twitched,   as   if   reaching   for   something   he   could   not   take.   Instead,   he   clenched   his   fingers   into   a   fist   at   his   side.   “Who?”   The   question   escaped   him   before   he   could   stop   it.   Before   he   could   remind   himself   that   it   did   not   matter.   That   it   should   not   matter.

Yet  here  she  is,  come  to  entreat  on  behalf  of  the  North.  Her  autumn-kissed  hair  is  the  same  shade  that  Margaery  remembers,  the  color  that  she  had  missed  so  dearly  once  it  was  no  longer  there  to  catch  her  eye  every  day.  And  her  eyes,  that  same,  crystalline  blue  that  Margaery  could  swim  in  for  hours  on  end.  But  they  are  not  the  same  girls  they  had  once  been  in  those  summer  days  passed  at  court.  The  Tyrell's  lips  part  to  speak  again,  like  soft  petals  in  bloom,  but  there  are  no  words  to  match  the  profound  relief  she  feels  in  that  moment,  the  mere  peace  at  knowing  that  Sansa  is  alive.

❝ For  so  long  you  have  been  naught  but  a  phantom  to  haunt  my  mind.  My  heart.  ❞  She  hadn't  known  what  loss  truly felt  like  until  she  lost  Sansa;  the  first  taken  from  her,  but  not  the  last.  Margaery  reaches  then,  perhaps  more  familiar  than  what  would  be  considered  proper,  but  she's  not  sure  she  cares  so  much  for  that  anymore.  Must  she  bury  it  all  for  the  sake  of  etiquette,  and  risk  Sansa  slipping  from  her  grasp  once  more?  There  has  been  too  much  left  unspoken  since  those  days,  too  many  things  that  should  have  been  but  were  not,  hidden  beneath  shared  smiles.  ❝ And  now  you  are  here  before  me,  and  for  the  first  time  since  winter's  arrival,  it  feels  as  if  this  grief  that  has  gripped  me  has  relented.  ❞  Her  hands  cup  the  sides  of  Sansa's  features,  ever  gentle  upon  her  ivory  skin,  as  if  touch  alone  could  keep  her  from  disappearing  from  her  life  once  again.  The  jade  of  her  eyes  holds  the  sheen  of  glass,  half-disbelief,  half-hope  as  she  looks  upon  the  wolven  maid;  her  next  words  leaving  her  with  a  tremble  of  her  lips,  ❝ I  missed  you,  Sansa.  ❞

The   Half-Elf   stood   by   the   arched   balcony,   the   weight   of   millennia   pressed   into   his   calm   but   steady   bearing.   Margaery   Tyrell's   words,   spoken   with   the   grace   of   her   station,   echoed   in   the   air   between   them.   Her   gaze   was   bright,   her   tone   bold,   and   yet   her   words   carried   the   melancholy   of   someone   who   understood   the   fleeting   nature   of   memory   among   mortals.

For   a   long   moment,   Elrond   did   not   answer.   His   gaze   traveled   over   the   city,   the   shimmering   cascades   and   the   busy   streets   where   the   people   lingered   still.   Finally,   he   turned   to   her,   his   gray   eyes   deep   and   thoughtful,   as   if   he   held   within   them   the   entire   weight   of   history.   "History,"   he   began,   his   voice   measured,   "is   a   fragile   thread,   Lady   Tyrell.   Men   weave   it   to   suit   their   needs,   often   forgetting   the   loom   upon   which   it   was   spun."   His   expression   softened,   though   it   was   touched   by   sorrow.   "What   you   say   is   true.   The   memory   of   the   First   Age   wanes   as   the   light   of   the   Eldar   dims   in   Middle-earth."

Elrond   moved   closer   to   her,   his   hands   clasped   before   him   in   a   gesture   of   thoughtfulness.   "It   is   not   bitterness   that   compels   me   to   speak   thus,   but   understanding.   Mortals,   with   their   brief   lives,   look   forward,   seeking   new   hope.   The   Eldar,   who   bear   both   the   grief   and   beauty   of   eternity,   cannot   so   easily   sever   themselves   from   the   past.   And   so,   a   gulf   forms,   one   that   cannot   be   bridged   by   words   alone."

He   inclined   his   head   slightly,   his   gaze   resting   on   her   with   quiet   respect.   "That   you   remember,   and   speak   so   boldly   of   it,   honors   your   lineage   and   your   wisdom,   Lady   Tyrell.   I   would   not   ask   that   men   or   women   forsake   their   path,   only   that   they   do   not   forget   how   it   began.   You   offer   me   hope   that   my   brother's   dream   and   people   survive   beyond   his   years."
