Title: Sleep Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 251 Pairing: Dedicate Crane/Dedicate Lark/Dedicate Rosethorn Round/Fight: 1/B Summary: Lark, Crane and Rosethorn catch some much needed rest.
Lark doesn't know what Frostpine says to Niko or when Crane heard - she's had other concerns on her mind but the two men sweep into the cottage one evening, Rosethorn already nodding in the cot set up for her in the main room and sweep out again, moments later, Briar's protests drifting back on the wind. She's exhausted and sags against the wall for a moment, eyes closed and then straightens again.
She nudged Rosie awake - alive wasn't dead, thank Mila, but it wasn't better, not yet and she still tired easily. "Can't sleep there."
"But I want..."
"No," Crane said as he entered the cottage. "You can't. You'll wake up with your neck cramping and send messages to me through the plants in the morning, cursing me for letting you stay here."
He didn't help her up, but she allowed herself to lean against him - nine steps to the door and another five to the bed. Her hands fumbled on the buttons of her shirt, fatigue sapping her fingers of their hard-won dexterity. Lark moved to help and was pinned with a glare from Rosethorn.
"Stay," Rosethorn said eventually, and Crane nodded, disrobing and climbing into the far side of the bed to lie curled against her back. Lark slipped in on her other side as Rosethorn drifted off to sleep.
She quirked an eyebrow at Crane, raising herself on her elbows to lean across and kiss him.
"Good night." The dishes, the sewing she had to do, it could wait.

Caring!Crane sets off all my feels for some reason. I like that he glares at Lark; it's nice to see a little jealousy.

Thanks! (Um - it was actually Rosethorn glaring at Lark. It was late when I wrote it last night. I'll edit it to make sure it's clear.)

Ah, I love domestic fic. That's part of the charm CLR holds for me, actually. Spice and the way they can just fit.

I love that you've woven the teachers into the fic as cameos--- little details like that really make fics for me
