Summary
Set during the High Lords meeting in ACOWAR. Canon compliant I suppose, but do any of us care about that anymore?? Hestia, the Lady of the Autumn Court, seeks her oldest lover and comfort Helion for a stolen night of love and reconnection. Helion POV, emotional hurt/comfort, bit of angst.
'" Hestia," he whispered, with the same reverence he'd speak the name of a goddess in her holiest temple.
Instinct bade him go to her, and he did not fight it. He didn't even try.
For a moment he thought she might refuse him, might insist upon caution. But the next she was in his arms, and as he held her close and breathed her in, he knew he hadn't been truly warm since last he'd been able to embrace her.
"Helion," she murmured into his chest.
The sound of her voice wrapped around his name was the sweetest torture he'd ever known. All Hyben need do to break him was ask him to defect in her voice and he would obey without a thought.'
