loveisall: (Make sure he leaves unharmed)

Godric smiles and turns back to the ocean, walking out a little farther, letting the waves guide him. "I know. I feel the same for you. But I want you to imagine it. A home for us. A true home. One we can travel away from whenever we wish, but it will always be here, right in this spot, for us when we want it."
loveisall: (I told a lie)

"I hope you can be happy here, too." He watches out to the waves, to the ocean, and takes a deep breath.

"But it won't simply be us. There are - others who will be there. Annie, there already. And - Archer."
loveisall: (And you provoked me)

"No."

Godric never wanted a big family of progeny. He only wanted Eric. Nora happened only because Eric insisted, but Godric never once changed his mind about what he wanted.

"No. Nestmates, if anything. Annie is a friend. Archer is closer than that. A companion, if you will. His is the blood you smell in my cabin. And he's one of the ones who share my bed."

In a way that he and Eric never have.
loveisall: (Father brother son)

"No. Archer is - a spirit. Not human. He was once, as you and I were, but he is thousands and thousands of years old, as I am."

He holds a part of Godric's heart in his hand.

"Annie is not, either. That's a conversation for another day. But Jesus - you...met him. On your arrival. When you sank your teeth in his neck. He is human and I love him as I love Archer."

Gently admonished with no real bite.

But he does not love them as he loves Eric. It's different between them. It's uniquely vampire and uniquely theirs.
loveisall: (I offered myself)

He follows but doesn't sit, placing a hand on his shoulder. "It was - a long time for me, Eric. A long time here, going through floods and breaches and ports. Meeting new people."

He had wanted to meet the sun because of how lonely he had been.

"But now we have each other returned," he says, squeezing his shoulder. "I have been waiting on this day with - trepidation and excitement both."
loveisall: (No wonder they hate us)

"I know you do. And I know this is not easy for you to hear."

He finally does sit beside him. "You were always my reason for living. When I saw what I had done to you, when I saw the anger and the hatred that I had given you, I couldn't bear it."

Godric stares out at the water, at the waves, letting them remind him of where they came from. "It was always supposed to be you and me. Forever. Through the ages. But the world grew more complicated."
loveisall: (Do you love him)

[personal profile] loveisall 2024-06-16 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I know."

He doesn't try to reassure him, either. The anger is justified and Godric has held that in his mind for this long. To hear it echoed and validated is enough of a punishment for him. He does take his hand.

"I can only hope to make it right with you here. And now."
loveisall: (Look into my heart)

He smiles, a soft laugh escaping. "You think yourself strong enough now to give me orders, child?"

There's nothing but fondness in that tone and he closes his eyes, enjoying this moment as he temperature drops even more in preparation for the rain.
loveisall: (are you death)

"I should drown you here to remind you of where you stand," he mutters, though this is nothing but play. The sort that he and Godric would have before, when things were easier. When it was just them and the woods and the night.
loveisall: (I can still be surprised)

He fell in love with this Viking soldier and he does even more every day. He laughs, loud and hard, chasing after him so he can tackle him into the water.
