It wasn’t that you wanted to be stuck in a hospital room, no–it was the fact that your body, even after the best of care, still failed to maintain any kind of normalcy.

The constant beeps from the monitors around your bed lulled you into a fitful sleep that ended far too soon with shift change starting. There were hushed voices at your door doing handover and you stirred, shifting in your sleepy daze to look at the small window in your door, only to smile happily at who was looking straight back at you.

Bucky. Your favourite nurse who took care of you every single trip to this dreaded place. He was easily the most charming and handsome fella you’d ever met, and here you were, looking like hot garbage. You cursed whoever was listening for that particular turn of events. 

The door opened slowly, allowing the bright lights of the hallway to flood into your dark room. You heard him call goodnight to Wanda, your day nurse, and he entered, smiling happily while he switched a softer light on. 

“Hey, doll,” Bucky whispered, walking straight towards your IV pole, a bag of saline in his hand, your charts in the other. “How’s my favourite patient doing?”

“Absolutely fantastic,” you croaked. 

Bucky chuckled and moved his hair behind his ear before he leant forwards, penlight in hand. You groaned loudly in protest and Bucky clicked his tongue. “I know it sucks,” he offered, frowning slightly. “But show me those pretty eyes of yours.”

Shock froze you in place and you looked up at him - he was smirking. “You smug asshole,” you grumbled, and Bucky laughed. 

A temperature check was next, and for better or for worse, you were still delirious and half asleep. “Alright, your arm, please, madam,” Bucky said, a phoney British lilt to his voice. You pouted, but offered your cannula free hand to him. “Atta girl.”

“Y’know,” you started. “You’re hot.”

The beep of the thermometer echoed in the silence while he just stared at you, a brow raised in amusement. “Am I?”

“Yeah, you are, the thingy,” you gestured at the thermometer in his hand, completely forgetting what it was, “wouldn’t even be able to register how hot you are.”

Bucky snorted and put the thermometer down to record something on your chart. “Remind me to come into your room when you’re this tired, doll. You’re cute when you speak your mind.”

Reality suddenly dawned on you and your eyes widened. “Did I really just say that?”

“You did, yep,” Bucky chuckled.

Your vitals check went smoothly, if you didn’t count the little hiccup of calling your nurse hot. There were no drastic changes which, much to your surprising disappointment, meant you could be discharged home soon, and that meant not seeing Bucky, even in the shitty circumstances. 

“How are you, Bucky? Still runnin’ round breakin’ hearts?” You asked around a yawn. 

Bucky looked down at you fondly, hidden amongst the cocoon of blankets and pillows. He grabbed hold of the IV line that was attached to the cannula in your hand, and adjusted the speed of the flow. “Nope,” he said. “When I’m not here, I spend my time back in my apartment with my cat. She runs a tight ship.”

“What’s her name?” You asked sleepily, blinking up at him. Bucky went to answer but you hissed in pain when you moved your hand, the long IV line had caught on the bed rail and dislodged the cannula. Saline dripped steadily from the broken connection and you tried in vain to mop it up.

“Oh, doll, hang on,” Bucky rushed, his gloved hands grabbing yours with such gentleness and care. “Let’s fix that up.”

“It’s that damn saline,” you whined. Reattaching a cannula was an annoyance, but having Bucky so close wasn’t so bad - he smelt so comforting, all of your favourite scents rolled into one, and his presence was even more so. 

“I know, I know,” Bucky soothed, working away at the dislodged cannula. “Whatever will I do to make it up to you, doll?”

Fuck it, you thought. “Get me a warm blanket and Introduce me to your cat.”

Bucky looked up from your hand, his lips quirked in a knowing smirk and a mischievous glint in his eyes even the low light showed. “Alright,” he said, smoothing down the tape that secured the cannula in place. “That shouldn’t hurt anymore.” Slowly, he stood, but he didn’t let go of your hand. 

Embarrassment flooded you and you opened your mouth to backtrack, but a squeeze to your hand stopped you. Bucky was still smirking. “Alpine would love you.”

When you were eventually discharged, a piece of paper with a neat scrawl of, ‘your favourite asshole’ and a phone number was tucked into the pockets of your pants, and you felt like you had landed on the moon. 

It paid off to shoot your shot, after all.

5 Questions with Micheline Aharonian Marcom, Author of The Brick House

Very excited to welcome back our friend Micheline Aharonian Marcom to City Lights this Thursday, November 2nd. She’s in conversation with Rikki Ducornet about her new novel, The Brick House, published by AWST Press. She answered our five questions.

City Lights: If you’ve been to City Lights before, what’s your memory of the visit? If you haven’t been here before, what are you expecting?

Micheline Aharonian Marcom: City Lights is one of my favorite bookstores in the United States, and I live not too far away, in the East Bay, so I've been many, many times: both for readings and to purchase and browse books: you have one of the greatest selections in literature, American and in translation, and poetry, that I know of!

What’s the first book you read and what are you reading right now?

The first adult book that "changed my life"–after the many children's books I read when I was young–was Shogun, which I read when I was nine. It was around one-thousand pages long, so I was just very impressed with myself more than anything else I think. That was when a lifelong interest in Japanese culture began (eventually I would discover Kawabata, Akutagawa and Mishima: writers I still love). I'm currently reading Winter Mythologies and Abbots by French writer Pierre Michon. Distilled, strange and wonderful pieces!

Which 3 books would you never part with?

Soulstorm by Clarice Lispector; Inferno by Dante; The Red Book by CG Jung.

If your book had a soundtrack, what would it be?

Chet Baker and Bill Evans, The Complete Legendary Sessions.

If you opened a bookstore tomorrow, where would it be located, what would it be called, and what would your bestseller be?

Bookselling is notoriously underpaid and economically challenging! And yet, of course, vital for culture. I'd put it where the old Cody's Bookstore used to be on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, which I still miss. I'd probably call it Cody's, and the bestseller would be New Directions' The Complete Stories by Clarice Lispector with new translations by the wonderful Katrina Dodson.

See Micheline at City Lights on Thursday, November 2nd in conversation with Rikki Ducornet. Get her new book, The Brick House, at City Lights Bookstore or wherever quality books are sold.

I have a gift for anyone still in the Tyrus-fandom. It’s an epilogue to “A Story Worth Telling”. If you haven’t read that one, please do that first. This epilogue is short and fluffy, just what we need :-).

Anyway, I hope there are still people reading this, after all this time! 

[rookthorne]

Knight in Shining Scrubs is such a cute story! Thank you for writing it and sharing it with us all 😍

no, thank you for for your support on it! 🥹

there is so much planned for him and I can’t wait to delve into him more, he’s just so damn soft it’s hard to not fall in love with him! 😭

Choices

This is a fic based on February prompt 15 “Unrequited Feelings”. I have to thank my bestie @kennaxval for being my proofreader and my go to source for all things TC&TF. For those of you who read my ASWT series, you know that I am a Val stan. But for those of you who also know the premise of my blog “I Can’t Choose” you know that I romanced all the LIs in this series, as I do in all the books. I don’t apologize for my MCs’ thotting ways. Anyway, I feel like TC&TF has some of the best LIs and they all had such strong feelings for Kenna. I wanted to write a fic from each LIs point of view describing how they felt when Queen Kenna did not chose them. Except for Val of course, since she is the chosen one.

Warnings: other than it being a little angsty and a bit of adult suggestion, this fic is rather tame. I would still say it’s not suitable for readers under the age of 18. And there’s a lot of broken hearts happening in this fic, so be prepared.

All characters belong to Pixelberry. I am simply borrowing them.

Word Count: 3,453

I’m just going out on a limb and tagging everyone I can think of. If you don’t like this pairing or this book then please just ignore this fic. But I literally have like 5 people on my TC&TF taglist and I’d love to get this fic a bit more exposure. So please consider reblogging.

I sat and watched the beautiful queens of Stormholt glide across the dance floor in each other’s arms. The smiles and laughter on their faces and the sparkling in their eyes was bedazzling. It was obvious that they were smitten with each other. And I was truly happy for them. I smiled at them as they passed close by me, raising my goblet to them in a toast. Kenna caught my eye and gave me a little wave behind Val’s back. My heart fluttered and my smile faded as they moved away from me. Would she always have this affect on me? I downed the rest of my wine and set the empty goblet on the table in front of me. “Would you like another?” I turned my head and met the soft gaze of Aurynn’s brown eyes. She placed a hand on my arm and I forced a warm smile. She really was a lovely girl, I found her shyness irresistible. And she fell for every one of my charms, not that one could blame her. But she wasn’t her. My heart didn’t long for poor Aurynn as it did for Kenna. I nodded as she stood to fetch me more wine.

I remember the first time I laid eyes on Kenna Rys. It was at the party in Aurelia, her beauty was breathtaking. I was mesmerized by her from the start. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. And maybe it was bold of me, but I told her as such when we first met. I admitted I had been watching her since her arrival. When she joined me for a walk in the gardens later that night my heart skipped a beat. I impressed her enough with the bouquet of flowers I presented to her for her to allow a brief kiss. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I remembered the first time I tasted Kenna’s sweet lips. I still remember the feel of our lips pressed together and my senses were on fire with her taste and smell. I could feel her in my arms, it was as if I were dreaming.

My dream was shattered as I watched Kenna and Val exchange vows. I somehow managed to keep a smile on my face as they pledged their lives to each other, then shared a passionate kiss. I applauded along with everyone else as Val took her wife’s hand and held it in the air with a loud “Whoop!” And I stopped them both on their way back down the aisle to offer my congratulations and a kiss on each of their cheeks. I really did have strong feelings of love and admiration for both of them. But the devastation that settled on my heart was overwhelming. I had lost. I was holding out hope that maybe she would change her mind at the last minute. Maybe if I looked at her with enough love and longing she would realize she was making a mistake. But I was wrong. My love was unrequited. I had to move on.

A light touch on my arm brought me back from my thoughts as I opened my eyes. Aurynn sat down next to me and placed a goblet of wine in front of me. She looked at me with concern. “Are you ok Raydan?” I was suddenly aware of tears streaking my face and I felt foolish. I quickly wiped my tears away and smiled and nodded at the woman in front of me. “Yes, of course I’m ok. I am simply overwhelmed by happiness for my dear friends.” I took a big gulp of wine and stood up, offering my hand to Aurynn. I met her eyes and smiled. “Will you dance with me?” Her face lit up as she grinned and nodded and took my hand. I led her to the dance floor as I pushed my feelings for Kenna down deep and tried to open my heart to the woman in my arms.

***************************************************

I sat at the bar and tried not to glance in the direction of the merriment on the dance floor. Everyone was cheering as Queens Kenna and Val shared their first dance together as a married couple. My will power faded as I heard shrieks of Kenna’s laughter filling the air and I had to look. I turned around on my stool to see that Val had dipped Kenna back very low to the ground, her long tendrils brushing the ground. Her smile pierced my heart as I felt myself aching for her. I remember thinking that I might actually have a chance. I thought we shared something special. I opened up to her like I had to no one else.

I remember my heart being in my throat as she approached me after Azura’s defeat. She was smiling at me softly, a look of gratitude in her eyes. I returned the smile and got down on one knee. I awaited her words, wanting desperately for them to be declarations of love. What a great pairing we would make! The union of the Rys and Nevrakis families would certainly be one for the ages. A union of such significance would be so powerful. Together we could rule over the united Five Kingdoms and it would be glorious. And let’s not forget that I was hopelessly in love with this woman. Her beauty knew no rivals. And ever since that day on the airship she had gotten under my skin.

But it was not meant to be. I looked up into her eyes as I kneeled before her, my heart on my sleeve and my eyes hopeful. She smiled and motioned for me to stand. “Please, Diavolos, there is no need to kneel before me. I know your allegiance.” I stood and smiled down at her, eager for her to say she chose me. And in a way, she did. “I want you to rule Abanthus in my stead as co-regent with Zenobia. I feel you are the only one who can keep her in check.” I smiled at her warmly even as my heart sank into the pit of my belly. “Of course. I would be honored.” I bowed my head at her and she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a hug. “Please, no formalities between us. I feel we are past that.” I nodded and longed to lock my lips on hers. Perhaps I should’ve done just that. I should’ve told her how desperately I loved her and wanted to rule beside her as her King.

The dance ended and everyone applauded and cheered. I smiled and held my hands high above my head as I clapped. Kenna and Val held hands and bowed in several directions. I turned and downed my mug of ale, taking large gulps then I slammed the mug back on the bar and ordered another. I needed to drown out this pain. Why did I come here in the first place? Because even though she loved a good party, Zenobia refused to attend. I found certain things about my sister infuriating. She still showed loyalty to our father, even after his death. And she refused to attend Kenna’s wedding since she killed him. I did not share her views. Abanthus needed to be represented at this event. So here I am. Doing my duty as ruler despite the aching in my chest.

I downed the other mug of ale and ordered another as I tried desperately to push my feelings down deep inside. I needed a distraction. I looked around the bar for someone, anyone who would help me forget this pain. I smiled as I caught sight of a beautiful woman with long golden hair that flowed midway down her back. Her gold gown sparkled in the evening twilight and I found myself mesmerized as I watched her bring her goblet to her mouth and sip her wine. I had always known the beauty of Queen Annelyse, but this was the first time I really took notice. I watched her silently from the other side of the bar, wishing I could be that goblet each time she brought it to her ruby lips.

I must’ve been staring, because I watched her lock eyes with me as she downed the last of her wine and left the goblet on the bar. She smiled and stood up and headed in my direction. My heart pounded so loudly I was afraid everyone could hear. I downed the rest of my ale before she arrived and turned to face her with a wide smile. “You look absolutely radiant tonight. I apologize for staring. I simply could not take my eyes off your splendor.” She blushed slightly and smiled as I took her hand and brought it to my lips. I closed my eyes and breathed in her scent of vanilla and honey as I brushed my lips across her knuckles. She bowed her head then looked straight into my eyes. Her pupils were big and dark and I had a feeling we were both looking for the same thing. “Thank you, Diavolos.” She took my hand and brought it to her chest, laying my palm over her left breast. My breath hitched at the softness of her skin and I shifted to hide my hardening member. “This is not an easy event for either of us is it,” she spoke softly as she held back the tears that were forming in her eyes. I was unable to speak, suddenly overcome with emotion. So many people loved Kenna Rys. So many people were here trying to disguise their broken hearts, just like me and Annelyse. I shook my head slightly as I fought back my own tears.

After a moment, I regained my composure and cleared my throat. The orchestra began playing a new waltz and I smiled at Annelyse brightly. We would get through this evening together. “May I have this dance?” I stood up and bowed to her slightly as I extended my hand. She smiled and placed her hand in mine and I led her to the dance floor.

**********************************

As I watched the lovely Queen Kenna Rys exchange vows with her bride, I couldn’t stop the wave of sadness from washing over me. I had been enraptured with Kenna since our first encounter. It was a lifetime ago, the events that set all of this in motion. The day that Luther Nevrakis killed Kenna’s mother and my father. The day that she saved my life. I swore more than just my allegiance to her that day when I gave her that orb. I returned to rule Fydoria and fought to keep my lands free from Nevrakis rule. The whole time Kenna was never far from my thoughts. I waited to hear from her, waited for her to need my assistance at reclaiming Stormholt. I used the orb a few times over that period of time, which seemed to stretch on longer than 2 years. I used to fantasize about what it would be like once the war was over. I was so sure I could win her affections as she had mine. After all, I was King Tevan Drammir. Fydorian women were throwing themselves at my feet everyday. Everyone knew I would soon need to choose a queen to rule by my side.

But I was buying time. I knew the queen I wanted.

It wasn’t meant to be. I pulled out all the stops. All of my charms, all of my rationalizing, all fell on deaf ears. Kenna only had eyes for Val Greaves. It really was so obvious to anyone who spent any real amount of time with them. I remember on several occasions watching Kenna’s eyes glaze over while I was turning on my charm. I would follow her gaze and it always led to Val.

I smiled and clapped as the beautiful queens made their way back up the aisle, hand in hand. Kenna’s eyes met mine and I nodded and winked. She smiled and winked back. And my heart cracked just a bit more. I was happy for her, truly I was. I followed the crowd out to the courtyard for drinks and dancing. I found the bar and took a goblet of wine, gulping it down quickly. I picked up another and looked around, trying to find someone who could distract me from the beautiful queens as they made their way onto the dance floor. But try as I might, my eyes kept wandering back to them. Their beauty really was overwhelming. I watched as they glided effortlessly across the dance floor, Kenna in her white sparkly gown with her hair falling in tendrils down her back and Val in her red velvet gown, her hair down and flowing over one shoulder. They both glowed with happiness. My breath was taken away by their beauty.

I blinked rapidly to keep the tears from overflowing and took a couple deep breaths. Yes, this day was bittersweet for sure. I was happy my queen found what makes her happy. And yet I was heartbroken that it wasn’t me.

I guess it was time to pick one of those other women. Hopefully there was someone who could help heal my heart.

*************************************************

I smiled as I watched the beautiful Queens of Stormholt glide gracefully across the dance floor in each other’s arms. I knew that Val wasn’t really fond of me, I think she just put up with me because of my relationship with Kenna. Which is a shame really, because I think she and I actually have a lot in common. I have to tell myself that that’s why Kenna was initially attracted to Val in the first place. I like to think that Val’s silliness and playful nature reminded her of me. So she was comforting in my absence. Of course this is a scenario created in my own mind, with no basis in reality. But I have asked myself a million times how I lost her. She was the love of my life. I have loved her for as long as I can remember. I still love her now. I will always love her, until my dying breath.

I wiped my eyes with my sleeve. I was not going to allow my sadness to show. Kenna would pick up on it immediately and feel bad. I wasn’t going to ruin her perfect day, her perfect happiness. But I couldn’t help trying to pinpoint when and how I had lost. I remember the day we first saw one another after being apart for two years. The time we spent together in the woods just outside of Stormholt castle felt so special. She loved me then. I know she did. I heard it in her voice, saw it in her eyes and tasted it on her lips. What a blissful night that was. But it all went downhill from there. I lost control of myself and in my rage I burned her badly. For the first time, I didn’t trust myself to protect her. I failed her that day. So I left, vowing to train my abilities and not return until I learned to control them.

Perhaps that was my mistake. Maybe I should’ve stayed. I should’ve stayed and shown her everyday how much I loved her. I shouldn’t have left her side ever again. Then maybe she’d be twirling across that dance floor with me instead.

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn’t realize someone had sat down next to me. “Quit beating yourself up over your choices, Lowlander. You made the right decision.” I snapped my head up to meet Sei’s eyes. “How can you say that? You don’t know what I’ve lost.” Sei narrowed her eyes at me. “Do you really think I can’t relate to what you’re going through?” I saw the pain in her eyes as I sighed. “No. I know you are probably the only person in the world who understands what I’m going through. I’m sorry. I’m just....” I couldn’t find words. She nodded and grasped my hand.

“I know the decision to leave her and train was difficult to make. And I’m sure it seems like you leaving had pretty dire consequences. But it would have been worse if you had stayed. Believe me, I know.” I looked into her watery eyes, at the pain swimming there. I remember when she first told me about how she killed someone when she was younger, someone who meant a lot to her. It was a mistake, before she learned how to control her magic. And I was always struck by how emotional she got whenever she was even speaking of it in reference. I smiled at her sadly as I reached up and brushed a single tear from her cheek. “You’re right, Sei. It was the right decision.” I looked at Kenna, laughing as Val dipped her backwards close to the ground, and I smiled brightly. It was all worth it to hear her laugh. To see her in the arms of someone else. Because if I had stayed, there’s a good chance I would’ve killed her. My desire to protect her outweighs everything else. If I hadn’t learned to control my magic, I would’ve thrown all of the Five Kingdoms into despair.

I smiled genuinely at Sei as I laced my fingers through hers. “Thank you, Sei. You have an amazing ability to make me feel better.” She smiled at me. I stood up, keeping her hand in mine. “Dance with me Sei. Please?” Her smile faded as she shook her head, but I wasn’t taking no for an answer. I dragged her up to the dance floor and wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me.

*****************************************

I can’t believe this is really happening. I just married the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever laid eyes on. Her beauty can not be denied. I couldn’t take my eyes off of hers as I waited anxiously to hear the words I had been waiting for.

“You may now kiss the bride.”

And I did. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to hers, trying to convey all the love I was feeling through my kiss. I deepened the kiss and pulled her close so our bodies were flush. We pulled apart a few moments later, breathless, and turned to face the crowd. I scanned the crowd as I raised our joined hands in the air and let out a whoop! This wasn’t just a wedding celebration, this was a victory. I had won the most wonderful prize. My dear sweet Kenna was the object of many peoples’ affections. I’m not sure if she is aware of the love people have for her, but I sure am. I can see it on the faces of our friends as we make our way up the aisle and out to the courtyard. We stopped at the bar first, I pounded down a mug of ale and handed a goblet of wine to Kenna. She took a sip as we made our way to the dance floor. I twirled her around then wrapped my arm around her waist. She smiled at me. “Are you happy, love?” I chuckled. “Are you kidding me? Happy doesn’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling. I hope I can make you happy. You deserve everything. I want to give it to you.” Kenna smiled warmly as she stroked my cheek. “You have already given me everything I could ever want when you agreed to be my wife.”

I felt my cheeks grow hot as I looked down at our feet. “Are you sure? I feel like there are others who would be happy to give you so much more than what I can offer.” She tilted my head up to look in my eyes again. “That simply is not true. I don’t care what those other people can offer. I only want you. I only love you.” I couldn’t keep the smile from spreading across my face as I kissed her deeply. Then I dipped her back low to the ground, her peals of laughter bringing the greatest joy to my heart. It was easy to see why everyone loved my wife. I can’t believe I’m the one she chose. This beautiful queen picked me, the foul-mouthed, crass, rough-around-the-edges mercenary. I looked around the room at all of the choices she had. A spymaster, a prince, a queen, a king and a childhood friend.

How did I ever get this lucky?
