Title: Patterned (Part 7) Rating: R Word Count: 156 Pairing: Briar/Daja/Sandry/Tris – Team Circlecest Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: After so long together, some things come naturally and they're pattered after one another these days and maybe always have been.
It was Barley Moon before they'd learned each other again and Daja sat quietly with Briar one evening in front of the fire kindled against autumn chill.
“Tris said she wants to try again. Be the mother she couldn't be with Glaki,” Daja remarked.
“She was sixteen and going mad. She did as well as she could.”
“She'd do better now, Briar.”
“If she could.” Never spoken about, that and not even now.
“Sandry can't, not with her Uncle having had another brainstorm. She's Duchess in all but name.”
“Would you?”
“For Tris. And only for Tris. And it'll be called a Kisubo till the day it dies. Any child of ours will be Trader through and through.” Do you hear that, Tris?
There was laughter and Tris padded her way into the room. “Sandry's on her way, too. She'll be here in a few minutes.
“Good.”

and THAT brings it all together in an incredibly gorgeous way.
(and the idea of Daja taking on the particular guardianship role? ...floored me. I love it desperately.)

This is a brilliant conclusion! This series was a joy to read, and I love the future you've imagined for them.

Thanks guys!
(I just - there is no world in which Daja doesn't end up with four of five children - she didn't just lose her whole family, she lost her entire world. Sandry can't have their kids, because she's going to be the Duchess and no-one would let her get away with illigitimate children c/o Briar. No-one. She either marries for power or adopts and grooms one of her cousins. That's it. So it had to be Daja.)

I love this series and this conclusion. One question, I forgot who Glaki was... *embarassed*
