That Sacred Arrangement....

[all7seas]

Who: wise_maiden and lists_to_port; We are leaving this log WIDE OPEN. So if you are family or friends, you are invited and may mingle or gossip or be all dressed up or get drunk or do the electric slide or WHAT HAVE YOU. Are there any Wedding Crashers in Luceti? Ha!
What: Wedding
When: Monday afternoon
Where: That spot with the lilacs by the river in that meadow west of the village. You know that spot---we know you know that spot.
Summary: Jack and Raine get married, and everyone ships it hard forever.
Rating: G I expect? It's so hard to tell sometimes.



On the morning of his wedding, Jack sat bolt upright in bed and then vomited onto the floor. Several minutes after that were spent dry-heaving and gasping for breath, and then another several minutes crawling to the bathroom to put his head under the shower. Cold water---it brought back reality and rationality, and erased dreams of being a pirate and dying in some war and having a best mate and a lover who had always been forbidden him---ever since Jack Horner's lesson and the two weeks following it.

Sparrow figured it was a case of wedding nerves. Strange dreams were a new thing for him, after all--normally he slept dreamlessly and woke up alert.

Later, as he stood in the quiet meadow he and Raine had chosen for their ceremony among the fragrant lilac trees, that morning dream was forgotten. Sparrow was calm. Happy. Clean-shaven and dressed in the attire Buffy had picked out for him and eagerly waiting for his beautiful bride.

"Of course I made it. I wouldn't miss my only sister's wedding, you know."
Especially because he thought of today as a last day of sorts to truly be with said sister, before she became a part of another family too. Maybe he was being a little over-dramatic.

Mithos returned his own smile, appreciative of the stream of reassurances Jack offered. He was okay with this, really, he just needed to keep convincing himself to stop worrying so much. "I would hope that you could ensure 'certain doom' doesn't even become an issue," he quipped lightly.

"No one can ensure against certain doom, lad. That's why it's certain, and not 'possible doom' or '43% chance of doom' or 'maybe we'll have a bit of doom later.' But I can bear through it with her---together."

I am such a slowpoke 8(

“Okay, okay, you pass. I trust you not to jump ship on her when she needs you the most.”

It's okay! School is killing me and this AU event has WIPED THE FLOOR WITH ME

Jump ship...it was an interesting choice of words, considering the dreams Jack had been having recently. He forced a half-smile onto his face. "I won't abandon her, if that's your worry."

He could understand why it was.

I am so in the same boat, pun unintended :U

It was good that he understood that much. He had the perfect non-example to learn from: what not to put Raine through. "I know you care about her a lot. You wouldn't have changed if you didn't."

Although, even Mithos was unclear on a lot of the specifics. He had been too young, or not born at all, back when Jack was...not at his best. By the time he had been old enough to understand how unorthodox his sister's and Jack's relationship was (with kids, but unmarried and not quite together all the time aside?), the man had already begun to turn around.
