Title: Vivid Youth Rating: PG Wordcount: 136 Pairing: Jon/Kel Round: 3/A Summary: It takes Kel some time.
She is supposed to be wild when she is young, be a fanciful teenager with dreams of marriage only when they might be beneficial. She is supposed to sow her wild oats then, or whatever that silly phrase means.
But no. Kel spent the end of her teenage years commanding a fort in wartime and the beginning of her twenties commanding a company of men older and more experienced than herself. She never was that wild girl.
"You've been permanently forty," Neal said once, smoothing out the wrinkle in her brow with one cool finger as he gave her tea for headaches. "Live and love a little."
So it makes sense that when she has her great affair, it is when she is thirty-four and with the king.
Jonathan, it turns out, likes women with experience.
