Title: Abdicate Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 110 Pairing: Alanna/Jonathan Round/Fight: 2A Summary: Jon's thinking of something Warning: mentions of death.
“I’m thinking of abdicating.”
“You’re not that old, Jon.”
“I know. But the voices…I want to be able to be there when Roald takes the throne, smooth the way. I want to see him rule.”
“And you will, but there’s no hurry.”
“There is.”
Alanna pondered this for a moment. “Does Thayet know?”
“Not yet. How can I explain such a thing to her?”
“Tell her you just want to be prepared. She’ll understand eventually.”
“You won’t be Champion anymore.”
“I could care less about that.”
“Will you stay in Corus?”
“I’ll always be wherever you want me, Jon. Always.”

“There is.”
I love this fic! This was my favourite line(s), and I love the matter-of-fact way Alanna responds. It also opens up all those thoughts about how Alanna used to consider death, and how she's changed (at least a little since then).
