do you have to let it linger? (you know, i’m such a fool for you) by joyfulsongbird
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
05 Aug 2023

Summary
“There’s no explanation for any of it, no reason that Kynan should have to keep living in this way. But he’ll never abandon it, abandon her. Isn’t that the crime of unrequited love? To want someone who will never want you. To want someone that you will never have the wherewithal to tear yourself away from.
Cassandra said it herself: he could leave at the drop of a hat, if he so desired it. But his other desires keep him chained back, and they always will.”
*
Kynan Leore is assigned as Cassandra de Rolo’s personal guard, given the task to protect her from harm. He takes his job very seriously. Maybe a little too seriously.
**complete!**

Summary
No, no. She would dance to society's tune the way women of her social standing had always done, and find a suitable match to get the whole thing over with. Forget about engaging in passionate affairs similar to those between her brother Anthony and her new sister, Kate. Forget about looking for a person truly and wholly devoted to her, the way Daphne and Simon are to each other.
She would have to content herself with looking for someone who can make her feel... comfortable, perhaps.
At the very least.
Someone kind, her mind screams, even as she surveys the ballroom full of young, eligible men.
She steeled herself just as she noticed someone coming her way.
Please, please let him be someone kind.

Summary
“Hold on,” he says. “I want to hear the weather.”
“Of course,” Karen says, and Matt can’t really read her tone, but that’s—normal for him, so he just listens as Foggy Nelson, Channel Two’s beloved meteorologist, tells them all about the seven day forecast. He uses four different weather puns and Matt laughs at all of them, catching his breath and sighing when they cut to commercial.
“Matt?” Karen asks, then, when Matt turns back to her. “What’s the weather going to be like on Wednesday?”
Matt blinks, trying to remember.
“Uhm,” he says. “I guess I didn’t catch it.”

Sometimes, you catch the sun in the corner of your eye.
You look away, because you know that looking at the sun is bad for your eyes. But for hours, every time you close them, you see the sun again.
Will would agree that the sun is a good way to describe Derek, because in every single moment, Will sees him.(Will and Derek find and lose one another. Ten years later, they find each other again.)

Summary
After a mishap with a part of Lord Grantham's Egyptian colleciton, Thomas finds himself the victim of a curse.
This story is incomplete and abandoned. I started it back in 2013, and at some point I put part of it up on Tumblr or somewhere. Fast-forward to 2020, somebody just mentioned how they remembered reading it but couldn't find it anywhere, so I said I'd put it up here.

Summary
After being arrested for gross indecency with another male person, Thomas Barrow learns that he has a natural gift which will plunge him into a startlingly different society which exists in parallel with the one in which he has lived his life until now. He’s not entirely sure whether or not that’s a good thing….
Downton Abbey/Sentinel fusion. (If you are not familiar with the Sentinel, fear not: the note at the beginning of chapter 1 will fill you in on everything you need to know.) This story occurs in the same universe as my other Sentinel/Guide stories, but is intended to work as a standalone.
Diverges from canon toward the end of series 3 (3x07 UK or 3x06 US)

Summary
Dex doesn’t roll his eyes, but only because he’s overwhelmed with the thought that he really does have feelings for Nursey. Gooey feelings. Romantic ones. They see each other every day; they’ve been close, there’s been touching, and maybe—maybe it’s not quite as platonic as Dex assumed it was. From watching Ransom and Holster, anyone could get the idea that that’s just what friends do. But… It feels different.
“I like him,” he says, soft, contemplative. “I like when he’s around and it’s frustrating to watch him go. It’s horrible to think he might be upset at me, or that he thinks I lied to him. It’s killing me.”
-0-
Dex doesn't know what it is to want. With Nursey, he learns.
