Fics like Best of Wives

“Can’t you just tell your father you don’t want to marry him? He’d make a horrible husband,” he says, at last, tipsy enough to almost laugh at the absurdity of someone not wanting Locke. It’s ludicrous, impossible to comprehend, the antithesis of the way his world works. “You’d know all about what kind of husband he’d make,” Nazca says, snide, seeing through him like a windowpane “being basically his wife and all” That makes him laugh, the kind of laugh that hurts. “You are though!” Nazca goes on, color high on her cheeks “you cook his meals, make sure he eats them, darn his clothes, do his accounting, pull him out of trouble by the scruff of his neck - you’re sitting up at night waiting for him to come home for the love of fuck… that’s what a wife does” He’s still laughing, and it still hurts although something about it is cathartic. He is, he supposes, some kind of spouse. An unwed wife, an unloved lover; pure contradiction. or: Several months before the Grey King first came to Camorr, Jean Tannen gets a late-night visitor.
