    Summary

    It’s fate, really.

    She hasn’t seen him in twenty-six years, since her own wedding where he stood as the Best Man. He’s been married and divorced since then, his ex-wife Aly tossing her satin dress-clad legs over Baela’s lap as they pass a bottle of wine back and forth. There was an ex-fiancee as well, Aly’s mouth dripping with gossip and rumor about her, about how Rickon wasn’t a fan and naturally, she had to go. Baela doesn’t bother remembering her name between sips, caught up in giggles that shake them both.

    The bride and groom are long gone, as are most of the guests, but still they linger. They drink together until he finds them, rolling his eyes at the way Aly catcalls him, kicking her feet at him as he fetches her discarded heels.

    See, Aly says, lipstick half-gone, smeared on her pretty teeth, I have him well trained.

    “It felt like a betrayal, going to you because I’d wanted you for so long when I should have been going because I cared about him.” 😭😭😭❤🥺❤❤🤧

    Summary

    She freezes mid-sentence, halfway through a call me right now and doesn’t know what to do until her numb fingers manage to open the groupchat instead and send one frantic, numb, help me, into it. Sending it straight to Jace’s phone, where she can’t even begin to process the fact that it will go unanswered, and to Cregan’s because nearly eighteen years ago he sent the same text in the middle of the night when Arra was dying on the table and Baela knows now without a doubt that he will find her. Just like they found him.

    Baela needs him here because he loves Jace too, because he loves her kids, because she knows that he’ll set his grief aside to protect them and care for them while she doesn’t have the strength to do it herself. She needs him here to tell her the truth, because it’s still not real, it's still not possible, it can’t be possible.

    . . .

     

    [Slowburn Baela/Cregan, where in facing the loss of Jace seventeen years after losing Arra, things begin to get more complicated, and less platonic, than they could have ever predicted.]
