you are a revelation, some kind of resolution by onlymarthaknows

Summary
Moiraine does not ignore Rand in Fal Dara, and that makes all the difference.
OR
“I just –“ he ran his hands over his face and up through his hair wildly. “I don’t understand how she thinks she has enough proof! It can’t be me!”
Lan raised an eyebrow. “Is there anything that she could say to convince you, sheepherder?”
The echo of what Moiraine had asked him in frustration an hour earlier made Rand actually stop for a moment and think. He could be reasonable. He would be reasonable. Reasonable people knew that they weren’t Lews Therin Telamon reborn.
“She never tells me the whole truth. If she told me everything she knew and explained why it made me the Dragon – and if it made sense – then maybe I would believe her. But it’s just impossible.”

Summary
The people of Breen's Spring recognized one Aiel - who's to say they wouldn't recognize another?
OR
The gleeman was alarmed, by the look on his face, and Rand wasn’t completely sure why. Of course, nobody liked to have this kind of weirdly intense attention on them, but –
“Look at the hair,” the drunk man said. “Ain’t nobody but an Aiel’s got that hair, and I should know.” He slapped his chest, and his tablemates laughed. Nobody else did. Mat was looking at him like he was noticing his hair for the first time, and then he looked alarmed too, and glanced at the gleeman.
The musician stood hastily. “Come now, Orban, look at him. He doesn’t even have cadin’sor. He’s not Aiel.”

Summary
In the aftermath of their night together, Moiraine and Rand try to determine what it means for them, both individually and apart. Rand struggles to understand the depth of his feelings for Moiraine. She in turn attempts to decide what the relationship will look like in the future, as she was taken off guard by the sudden change. Lan just wishes he didn't have to feel any of it through the bond in the first place.
OR
“But he is the Dragon! And I am to guide him!” Moiraine buried her face in her hands. “For twenty years I have known that that is how it would be.”
“Perhaps that is not how it has to be,” Bair suggested, as if it was not the most – most – almost sacrilegious thing that could be said. Moiraine looked at her between her fingers, lightning struck down to her core.

Summary
Bair was telling Moiraine about what she would go through in Rhuidean, and he wanted to listen, but the idea of dying there and not really knowing the truth of his past was pricking at him like the burrs of a puncturevine in the Westwood. He turned to Melaine.
“What did she mean? About my mother?”
Melaine looked at him reluctantly. He got the impression that he was interrupting some kind of scripted speech about Rhuidean, but now that he had asked the question, he didn’t care much until he got an answer. “You wish to know the story of Shaiel?” she asked.
Shaiel. His mother’s name. Maybe someday he would see Tam again and be able to tell him the name of the woman he had sat with on a mountain slope.
“Yes.”

Summary
Rand wasn’t sure when it started, but it was definitely after Rhuidean. Maybe when he held her in his arms and stumbled his way to the top of the hill. When he handed her over to Lan but her arm reached out for him for just a moment, when she looked at him with no mask over her face. Or maybe it started when she asked him a question about the Power, how he drew so much of it. She had not felt that asking him was ridiculous, she thought he had advice for her.

His Blood And His Name by hargroovy
Fandoms: Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb, Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb

Summary
Things might have gone differently, had he not held me in his arms then. Had I not looked at him, with his own eyes, he might more easily have left me there in the straw.
Then it would not have been so hard for him, I think; to surrender me to another man’s care as I believe he had intended to do. It would have been the wiser choice. I would have remained an open secret: a transgression, once acknowledged, then discreetly set aside. Prince Chivalry’s honour would have suffered a bruising, but it would have remained intact.
Had my father not claimed me, he might still be alive.
But I named him. And with the old power that names hold, I sealed him to it, and thus to his fate. My father raised me as he would a true-born son, in a court where all recognised me as a catalyst.
And a Catalyst I became.

Summary
"I gave you a choice, and you denied me, like a fool. Now you get one more. Bed him as you wouldn't bed me, or he dies, and after you have served your purpose, so do you. You love him so dearly? Prove it. Show me what he has that I do not."

Summary
“They are hardly the first Lord and servant to spark such rumors.”
“That right?” I leaned in again. I could see the barest hint of a tattooed scale peeking over his high shirt collar.
“Indeed. Some of them even true.”
