Title: Paradoxical Rating: PG Word Count: 218 Pairing: Alanna/Jonathan Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: She knows she must move on, but she’s not quite sure how she will.
:::
Loving Jonathan is both inevitable and impossible.
Inevitable, because he has this incredibly charming and easy way about him, where Alanna feels as if she’s the only one in the room, and at the very least, the only one that matters. She feels as if she’s falling into his sapphire eyes, where she alone will stand and dance in their depths.
But.
Alanna knows, in her mind, and perhaps in her heart too, that they can never be. That Jonathan is the prince, that he will be king, and that she never has, and never will want a piece of that. He will have duties that would make her squirm, and he will never, ever be able to escape. She knows that he can have no place in her heart.
Yet.
He clings there, tugging, tearing. He weighs heavy on her mind and even heavier on her heart, with his smiles and winks. It’s not that he’s the itch she can’t scratch, but the one she’s afraid to. Afraid, because she’s not sure what will happen to her when she finally does flick him off. She knows that she must, that eventually it will be inevitable that she must do what currently seems impossible.
Still.
Letting go will be the hardest thing Alanna will ever have to do.

Oh, Allie.
The beginning and ending both are so heavy and beautiful, and then in the middle... the middle is all happysadmaybe squished together.
That's not the most coherently explained, but you have this wonderful pacing through the piece, and the emotional temperature climbs before the last sentence, which is like, for a lack of a better way to describe it, the anchor back into reality.

I adore the style in which you've written this, and Muse is right, it has a lovely pacing. I really like the weight in that last line too.
