Title: For Love of Country Rating: PG Prompt: #3 Same but different Category: 100 word Word Count: 100 Summary: Reigning monarchs are only human.
It’s mid-morning, and there is far too much to be done in the Council Room. Parchments are stacked high – as high as the mounting frustrations of the Crown’s trusted chancellors – and Thayet feels her own aggravation joining theirs.
Ticking minutes pass before a small folded note is placed in her lap. She reads it discreetly, and then resumes discussion with Gary; her fingers, meanwhile, strum a light tune on Jon’s thigh. She hopes that this music tells him, convincingly, that indeed a realm greater than Tortall to govern exists, and that this dominion awaits within the privacy of their chambers.

Ah, this is beautiful. It's domestic and sensual and I love that they've lost none of their romance.

This is fantastic! So fantastic, in fact, that I'm lost for words to try to describe exactly how it's so fantastic. But it's very, very fantastic. ;D

Very well posed/In character/presented? I'm not sure exactly what catagory this story falls into, but Thayet's poise even in the face of sheer boredom and the subtle tugging of Jon's attention sits very well with me.

Oh, this is lovely! You portrayed the mood very well, and the switch from boredom to anticipation. Very well written.

Thank you, everyone! It was, sincerely, about time I wrote some honest Thayet/Jon.
