Title: Dedicating a Name Rating: G Word Count: 147 Pairing: Lark/Rosethorn Round/Fight: 1/B Summary: Irene asks Niva about her name.
It was just the two of them in the garden. No one else was around to hear them whisper quietly. The whispers turned to a comfortable silence. They were sitting on one of the benches that bordered their favorite pond.
“Why did you choose the name Rosethorn?” Irene asked as she twirled her fingers across the water.
“Someone once told me that I was as beautiful as a rose and as sharp as it’s thorn,” Niva said, caressing a rose petal softly.
“So you’re dedicating your name to him?”
“Who?” The petal fell to the ground, hitting the top of the water.
“Don’t play with me. You know who I’m talking about.”
“I’m not dedicating my name to him. It just… seemed to fit.”
Irene grabbed the floating petal and held it gently in her hand.
“I just hope you know what you’re doing- naming yourself Rosethorn.”

This is really lovely. Especially how Lark warns her that she hopes "you know what you're doing." I assume him is Crane- I really like it when people bring Crane into L/R fanfics.

Thanks. Yeah, I meant it to be Crane. I always thought that he might put a bit of a strain on their relationship and wanted to make a tiny nod towards the fact that he's one of the contendors.

I like this. I like the reminders that ultimately she will be Rosethorn from that point out.

I really, really like your Niva/Irene dynamic. This was a very rich little piece. Different parts of it really catch the attention on each re-read
