Title: Role Models Rating: G Word Count: 193 Pairing: Lark/Rosethorn Round/Fight: 2/B Summary: If Sandry ever finds love, she wants it to be like Rosethorn and Lark's.
If Sandry ever finds love, she wants it to be like Rosethorn and Lark's.
Not necessarily with a woman: that's the least of what makes her foster mothers exceptional.
She wants someone whose smile will make her warm. (Like Rosethorn's rare grins that are almost grimaces but don't seem like it at all, and the way Lark just lights up when she sees it.)
She wants someone who can soften her edges and sharpen her eyes, without even trying. (Like Rosethorn and Lark in the quiet mornings, without a sharp word, without a cutting threat, though the rest of the day is filled with cackling and gentle, firm rebukes.)
And she wants someone who understands without words.
("You need a break from weaving," Rosethorn mutters, pulling Lark from her hundreds of feet of bandages. "I haven't seen you all day."
"I need to..."
"I need you to walk with me," says Rosethorn, gruffly, embarrassed. "Or I swear the novices are going to run back crying." Their fingers thread together as they leave.)
Sandry knows she might not marry for love, but if she does, she wants it to be like Lark and Rosethorn's.

Not necessarily with a woman: that's the least of what makes her foster mothers exceptional. I am so in love with this line that I cannot express it enough to you. I think if I had to pick one line I have most loved from SMACKDOWN, this may be it. Thank you for normalising something that is stigmatised and revering what is actually special! *Super huge hugs.*
laksdjfklajsdf and Lark's response to Rosethorn's rare grin. My little fangirl self just did an inner cartwheel.
...though the rest of the day is filled with cackling and gentle, firm rebukes. That is so lovely and so them.
And Rosie's "I haven't seen you all day" comment! I love that, since it's so reversed - usually people Rosethorn as the one someone hasn't seen all day, with her refusal to leave the garden even during rest break. But Lark has always been just as dedicated, so this is just wonderful. (I'm a huge fan of role reversals that fit my idea of canon, too.)
This piece is so perfect I can't even... You rock, Rosax. You are a writing rockstar. *Glomps.*

I'm blushing. You just can't see it through the computer.
Also, WHERE IS MY FLUFF?

Ask and ye shall receive; I stick to my promises...
Just not when it's 5.20 in the morning. :Þ But tomorrow is a new day. (;
