Title: Fall Together Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 140 Pairing: Regicide (Delia/Josiane) Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: Delia begins to have her doubts, while Josiane proves she’s already come up with Plan B. Warnings: one line of mild implied violence, because Josiane is a freakshow.
-----
“What will Roger do, you think, when he gets the throne?”
Josiane stirred in the dark. “I don’t know, kill Jon? Maybe he’ll hang that bitch Alanna by her guts and let her rot, too. That would be so pretty.”
“No,” Delia said patiently, “I mean with us?”
“Oh.” The princess was silent for a long moment. “Probably kill us.”
Delia shivered at the matter-of-fact statement, and the fact that she seemed so untroubled by it. She huddled deeper under the blankets, trying to get warm. “You really think so? And you don’t care?”
“No. I plan on killing him long before he decides to kill me, and if I fail, well—we’ll die together, right?”
Strange, that that would be so comforting. “Yes,” she said, as Josiane reached out and grabbed her hand reassuringly. “I suppose so.”

Awesome. I love how freaking crazy Josiane is, and how that actually gives Delia something to center herself. It's such a disturbing paradox.

I love how matter-of-fact Josiane is about the idea of dying. This is seriously perfect.
