Fics like Boiling Frogs

Chase hesitates for a long moment before raising his hand to the door. He knocks once, twice, and waits, unsure what emotion swirls in his chest. For a moment it is simply quiet. Then a thin, raspy, “Come in.” answers him. Chase takes a calming breath, in and out. He pushes the door open and lets the soft wash of light carry him in. The Queen is resting on her sickbed, surrounded by shadows, with only the light of a small lamp hanging above her head. It casts her in gentle spotlight, like a lantern sunk in a deep ocean. When she sees him, her eyes widen slightly and her mouth parts. “Hello darling.” ------------------- Spurred on by a sleepless night, Chase goes on a solo book adventure and runs into the heroine's bedridden mother. Buddy is seemingly missing but nevermind that. Aka: It sure is a good thing that sick mothers isn't a popular trope in fantasy fiction.
