Title: Complications Rating: PG Word Count: 186 Pairing: Jon/Zahir – Team Bend-a-lot Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Jon sees a problem he needs to fix. Author's Note: In the middle of writing about JZ, museical started encouraging my Roald/Zahir plotbunnies, and they forced me to write a few fics. ~~~~~~ It would never do, of course. There were obstacles in the way, large ones. Heirs were a question of no little significance. And the crown prince had to marry for political advantage. A foreign royal would be best, and talks with the Yamanis had been ongoing for almost as long as Jon had been king. All the same, sitting at this table, in this moment, the monarch watched his oldest son with a small smile. Roald, usually so reserved, was struggling to bite back a broad, effusive smile. He colored as the boy next to him leaned closer, whispering in his ear, and Jon tried not to imagine what was being said. He had attempted to steer clear of complications, to guide Zahir to an easy path. No matter what his detractors thought of his reasons for choosing the Bazhir, he had come to care for his squire as his own child, and an entanglement in an impossible relationship could only cause him pain. Jon sighed internally, recognizing the conclusion he had come to. For now, they were both happy, but it would have to end. QC by: journeycat

Oh man I'm kind of sad for Roald and Zahir, but there's this lovely conflict in Jon too - and I think what's nicest is that it doesn't register a blip on the internal conflict scale. While Jon wants them to be happy, he's not going to shy away from the good of Tortall, period.
