(Can you tell I'm not used to writing Dreamwidth headers. But I said I would cross-post and I will. As usual everything is on ao3 if you actually want to find things again.)

Summary: There’s a lot he doesn’t tell her.
(I have once again perpetrated an angsty drabble. Sorry.)





“I don’t know why the other two tolerate you as a traveling companion.”

I know why I do. Because I’m in love with you. I can’t remember how the other two think—I know what they know but I can’t be what they are—but one’s too much of a fool to realize what you are to us, the other’s too clever by half to tell you. You’d never have thought I was Little Bear’s porridge, the happy medium, would you? Whenever I’ve half-admitted it—that’s been this me. The nasty one.

Do you want one-third of two hearts, Charley?

I think everyone writes headers differently! Some challenge or specific fic comms may still have rules about it, but they're not general. Do whatever suits you! (Unless you are posting to a comm with rules, in which case best to check what they are. lol.)

thank you! I was not sure how much information to put in and this did feel like a bit much :D

(although I cannot even remember putting "angsty drabble" in the header--I guess it felt important at the time?)
