Title: Epiphany Rating: G Warnings: none Summary: Thom tells Roger a secret. Notes: part of my Patchwork AU, which you probably need to read first for proper context. Apparently, I never posted this here, though I thought I had. A wee little drabble. Thom/Roger. *** King Roger regards the young man warily. There is never any good in the offing when the Iron Lord of Trebond grins so poisonously. "Royal blood runs in the female line," Thom says, "Mother to daughter. Up in Grimhold, a man's heir is his sister's son." The glass in Roger's hand shatters. "So my nephew is twice royal, then, and you have no heirs of your body. You never will." Thom's whisper is disturbingly seductive. There have never been kings in Dunlath, Roger realizes. They have always been in Trebond. "Now you see," Thom says. Thom's kiss is a triumph.

Please can there be more of this? Every line is so powerful and perfect. I love your Thom/Roger dynamic, and I absolutely love this AU.

"Now you see," Thom says. Thom's kiss is a triumph. I've missed Alixfic SO MUCH. It's wonderful to have you back, even if it's only for one fic, because this is powerful and haunting and beautiful. It's concise and, as always, the last line strikes again.

This makes me want so much more. I agree with Mattie: every line and word here is powerful and filled with a tension that I, without context, don't fully understand but want to. Excellent writing and characterizations!
