Title: Lists Rating: G Wordcount: 103 Pairing: Team Bend-a-lot Fight: 1/A Summary: Some things you just can’t have.
-
“You’re in love with my daughter,” Jon accuses. “You know I can’t allow it. Kalasin will be the Empress of Carthak. You are only going to be a knight, possibly of no consequence if things don’t work out. I cannot allow it.”
“And what of Kalasin?” Zahir asks. He doesn’t turn his back to look at the king. “There are so many things you deny her.”
“This will just be another on the long, long list.” There is a trace of bitterness in Jon’s tone, but the flippancy of it stings more.
“You’re not a good father,” Zahir responds, and Jonathan doesn’t disagree.

I'd thought I'd seen it all, and then comes your fic with Zahir/Kalasin I love the way you convey so much with so little. And how it really drives home the fact that Jon cannot afford to be a good father because he has to be a good king.
