UNSENT LETTERS MEME

Letter Types

Maybe you were just cleaning up, maybe you were snooping on purpose when you found the letter tucked away where they obviously thought you would never find it. It has your name written right on it, plain and clear.

Do you read it? It's so hard to resist...

And if you do, do you confront them about it or try your best to ignore it?

- Post your character with name, series, and any preferences.
- Others respond after enlisting the help of RNG on deciding a type or just choosing the one they like best.
- Play nice.

1. hate ∞ the letter details what you've done to bother the person who wrote it. It lists all the problems they have with you and all the wrongs you've done to them.
2. break ∞ secretly, they've wanted to break up with you for awhile now.
3. love ∞ they are hopelessly, helplessly in love with you.
4. depression ∞ they're very depressed or desperate and spill out every reason why.
5. confession ∞ they've done something wrong and detail it in this letter. Was it to you or somebody else?
6. sexy ∞ not quite romantic, they're confessing all the dirty things they would like to do with you.
7. leaving ∞ they were offered a job or something too enticing to pass up and they're planning on leaving you soon.
8. wildcard ∞ If you don't like any of the above options, make up your own letter!

"It's-- it's all right. It's-- hard for the both of us."

There's so much to cope with, after all.

"I'm-- I'm sorry they told you."

They each know their own pain in this. He can't imagine, really, what it would have been to hear she had died.

Nor can she imagine what it might have been like to fall in love with someone else while still loving him. But the memory of her loved ones telling her of his death sends a pang of pain across her expression, and she has to reach to pull herself closer to him as a reminder he's here now.

"It's not your fault." It's neither of their faults, really, "And I suppose they thought I-- needed to know. That maybe knowing would-- bring me back to them."

Which it almost had, to be perfectly honest, but she'd kept her promise to Aslan in the end.

For the first time since they've met again, it feels a little odd to fold her into his arms. It takes a few seconds to properly find where she still fits--and it feels absolutely instantly gratifying to feel that she does still fit, that even this strange hiccough in their understanding of each other isn't stopping them from being exactly where they need to be.

It's more complicated, yes, knowing they were in love with one another's ghosts. That doesn't mean it isn't still a blessing to be able to hold each other like this again.

"Life and death aren't... really faults, I suppose."

She's never not going to be grateful to have this back again. Never not going to feel blessed to have him in life, no matter the complications. It's easy to settle once she finds where she fits.

"No, not really."

It takes a shaky in breath before he can exhale the rest of the frustration.

"I'm-- glad that dying there meant-- I could be here with you."

If there were a heaven, after all.

"I wish you-- didn't have to die." Because no one could ever want that for a loved one.

But. Well.

"But I'm-- I'm glad you're here."

"...that life was lived, Susan." Fully, even. Beautifully, for the most part. With grief, yes, but with beautiful joy. His lips find her temple unconsciously, don't quite kiss so much as brush delicately. "And... now this one will be as well."

Although it hadn't been before he found her again, admittedly.

She can't help but smile a little at the words and the meaning behind them, at the brush of his lips against her skin. Her nod is careful as she lifts to press an equally light kiss against his cheek.

"It-- will be. Together."

{ooc; Caspian -is- in the Other-Wordly meme. For this or fluffier purposes. Just saying.}

It takes a moment before he can nod properly, pull his arms a bit tighter around her.

"As... as it should be."

If only now. Not before.

And she'll tighten her own embrace around him with a soft smile.

"As it should be."

Such a comforting thought.
