Title: Is This The Real Life Rating: PG Length: 152 Competitor: Raoul Round/Fight: Final! Summary: Doesn’t have to be read in order, but this way the song makes sense!
-
A wise man had once told Kel that a knight’s life was not all glory and riches. He’d told her that there would be mud, and there would be war, and there would be hate. He had prepared her with words for the ungratefulness of many people and prepared her with experience for the hard and hot toil.
“I laugh and laugh,” he had said once, and Kel had been unsure whether he had been teasing. In the end, he hadn’t, but that turned out to be one of the things she had to find out for herself. One day in casual conversation, he had mentioned that if she wanted to be recognised for the long, long days of hard company and harder work, then she was in the wrong profession.
It had taken a while to sink in, but to this day, she loved him for having shattered her early delusions.

OMG, I love you for using this song. (the fic is pretty darn good, too.)
I think you're my musical soul mate, Jess...

Thanks, Lisa! I'm glad to have found someone with similar musical tastes to mine! Most of my friends are out of touch (also glad you like the fic, too.)
