@sanktasolntse asked: 36 . a kiss over a scar
His body is a map of past-mistakes and victories. Lean and taut from hard-work, without the finery he dons every morning to dazzle the court into compliance, the young king appears more of a boy than a man in the morning, the rising sun peaking through the canopy of the bed, the white scars which crisscross his body screaming against his tanned skin.
Nikolai raises his head slightly as he feels her lips press against a particularly gnarly knot on his shoulder, nose bumping into the top of her head in an inquisitive nuzzle as he murmurs her name, voice groggy with sleep.

@sanktasolntse sent : a smoochie for the husband.
it's endearing, the way that alina leans up on her tiptoes as they meet in the hallway, just to press a kiss to his lips. she's stubborn — all she would have had to do is ask, and cullen would have leaned down for her. the commander would give her the whole world if he could. still, arms move to wrap around her waist, pulling her closer to him. they're off to themselves, after all, and who is cullen to refuse a moment with his alina? even now, it still seems like a dream that he has her — that she's his entirely. no longer just a fantasy, one used to haunt him, but his wife. “ do you make a habit of going around and kissing men in the hallways? ” he teases, expression one of feigned sternness. “ that won't do, darling. not at all. ”

@sanktasolntse : it's always better when we're together.
found her a long time ago , felt like a life time now . knowing she was so close to him , in the same city , in the same streets . knowing his mate was in the very town he lived and served in & he could do nothing about it . but there was no way he would risk putting her in danger : no way he would put her in maeve's path . so he waited . waited and almost died before he could hold her in his arms . forehead rest against hers , takes her in . her scent and the warmth of her against him : holding her close as he can , arms wrapped tightly around her waist . dim light from the moon above them , finding some abandoned place where they could talk without being interrupted . finally have her in his arms & while there is no peace in their future , hopefully they would have the one night . tip of nose brush against her , one arm lift and cup side of her neck , thumb lightly brush across her jawline . ❝ . . . hopefully we will be together from now on . ❞

@sanktasolntse sent 📖 (book: to kill a kingdom by alexandra christo) / mal & alina
there was nowhere mal was inclined to call home for most of his life. there was a comfort that came with knowing he could bounce around; there was a comfort to being a soldier that gave him pride. he knew how to track; he was good at it. it was natural, and he never thought to question it until it went away. he can still track, but he no longer feels a pull towards whatever he is seeking. he no longer is a hundred percent certain his aim would land true.
no, growing up mal never considered Keramzin home, not really. alina was home. alina was comfort. alina was there. yet, if he thinks hard enough, Keramzin is the only place that mal could consider being a home. it is fitting that he ends up here now, with alina. a safe space for the two of them to cultivate. he always wanted to end his life somewhere like this, but he never truly believed he'd see the end of the war. settling was something he wanted but never thought he'd get.
it's not in a soldier's nature to rest.
alina understands this in him, he thinks, just as he does in her. "come back to bed."

IT’S A bait . the fjerdans come with prickly offerings of peace and nikolai had greeted them gracefully , thankful even . - - - of course he doesn’t trust the lying pricks as far as he could toss them . although , he supposes that would be pretty far as the monster , but that’s neither here nor there . he has no doubt there will be some attempt at SOMETHING before the night is over , the tension in the room palpable . the music ( very nice , very expensive music , might he add ) plays , but everyone is too tightly wound to dance . he slides up to alina’s side and bends his head to her ear .
❝ dance with me , ❞ he says , and it isn’t really a question .

@sanktasolntse said — ‘i’ll find you again , wherever we end up next .’
𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐞 : 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒒𝒖𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔
if there is anything that he’s ever been sure of, it’s that he would always remember the sight of her. no matter how many days went by without her presence right next to him, taken by this battle they’ve been forced to join FOR THEIR COUNTRY. the gentle sound of her laughter is a memory permanently burned to his brain; the feeling of her hand in his, his hand tracing the jagged edges of the scar she’s worn for almost as long as he’s known her. ( he wears a matching one now, HAS FOR MONTHS. mal still hasn’t told her why. maybe his love for her is the one thing he’ll never stop running from. ) still, the knowledge of her does nothing to quell the unease that he feels in knowing they’ll be split apart again, and he knows the knowledge that their orders are separate again means he’s been sulking. just a bit. “you’ll find me? i think you’re getting our talents confused there, alina.” it’s all false bravado, the curve of his smile for his own benefit as much as hers. they’ve been apart for too long now, they keep being pulled apart. this war has taken everything from them, but it continues to latch onto things it should not be able to touch. mal knows they’ll see each other again, but that small voice nags in the back of his mind, what if, what if, what if. but he’ll see her again; their story isn’t yet done. it’s that confidence that keeps him from faltering, keeps him from doing something stupid like leaning in too close when he sees the soft curve of her lip, when she smiles at him in a way that’s only been for him. saints, he’d go mad without her— he’s going mad WITH HER. “how about you write to me every day, and if there’s ever a day you stop, i’ll come looking for you.” he can’t help the inaudible hitch of his own breath as he thinks of such a moment, knowing it’s all a joke but… mal knows too, with every ounce of certainty, that there is no rule he would break or land he wouldn’t tredge through to get back to her. he belongs with her, he always has.
