@TwiceYourLady "I am nothing if not responsible," Ariel giggled softly, smiling as Ilona cupped his round cheeks.

"Oh? Extra special, huh? I think I can do that," he murmured, crowding in even closer to her space, brushing his nose over her cheek. "You wanna lay back?"

@TwiceYourLady "Not much I can say to argue with that," Ariel laughed a little, and nodded, standing from where he was squatting next to the small iron fireplace.

"My nighttime chores are officslly done and I am very ready to climb into bed with my wife."

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

@TwiceYourLady I don't think I would ever stop you. It is the middle of the night and there's a snow storm outside sooooo, no not expected anywhere.

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

"Even when I sell our last pennies for a nice stinky cheese?" He laughed a little, leaning closer to rub his nose behind her ear, fingers tickling at her sides.

"It is good cheese! Not the best apple, but it's winter."

[pankratz, ilona @TwiceYourLady]

“I do love that about you, you know.” He’s a sweet boy with an eye for fine things. Even when it’s just snacks.

She settles in and accepts the plate with a kiss, happy as ever. “You do have very good taste in cheese. Can’t complain.”

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

He's immediately pushing the quilts back to let her join him, leaning over for a quick kiss before passing her the plate.

"Uh, the occasion is that I have very little self-control around the cheese stall at the market," he laughed, leaning back against the mound of pillows.

[pankratz, ilona @TwiceYourLady]

Ooh! How exciting! Ilona loves sharing snacks with her husband.

She’s ready to come snuggle up in her pajamas (obviously a stolen shirt), happy to spend time. “What’s the occasion? You bought fancy cheese?”

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

For her, of course. It's that fancy cheese he had to splurge on because is deep down, a rich boy.

[pankratz, ilona @TwiceYourLady]

Does he have enough to share ?

He's eating some slices of cheese and apple in bed.

grief is, perhaps, the last and final translation of love. this is the last act of loving someone. and you realize that it will never end. you get to do this, to translate this last act of love, for the rest of your life.

@TwiceYourLady The curtain shifted, and the vision seemed to waver for a moment, but Ariel was tripping over his own shoes to reach the window.

"I — I don't care if I'm going insane. I don't — if I get to see you again, I don't care."

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

@TwiceYourLady Setting his shoes aside, Ariel glanced up again, seeing the moonlight and the shadows through the curtains and —

His throat tightened, and for a moment, he swore she was — "Ilona?"

[ً. @abhorarchive]

if my brother's dead, i am not alive. if i'm alive, my brother can't be dead.

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

@TwiceYourLady Shrugging off his doublet, Ariel threw it onto the chair in the corner, pushing a hand through his curls and rubbing at the back of his neck.

"I wish I had just stayed home in bed," he said, speaking to no one as he sat and started to take off his shoes.

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

@TwiceYourLady And he always loved watching her. She has always looked so content there at the window. But the moonlight might be playing tricks on his eyes, and Ariel brought his hands to his eyes, rubbing them.

"Oh, I'm going insane."

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

@TwiceYourLady Of course he kept the pillows on the windowsill. He hasn't changed a thing since she . . . . He couldn't. He couldn't.

And now the — moon just looks so — so real.

[𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒛 @stitchedfates]

@TwiceYourLady I do like when you help distract me. Or when you come and help me problem solve with something. But — yeah, there's sometimes when all I can do is be frustrated I think.

I /really/ like it when you kiss it better.

[pankratz, ilona @TwiceYourLady]

favorite thing about watching my husband work is when he picks out a thread or a fabric or a texture piece he has me come look at it. and when each bit gets put together he has me come look again.
