Work Text:

She lept from that ship

No one believed her, nor IN her

The very next being to speak with her

was HIM.

 

He rescued her from the sea
He rescued her from drowning
He rescued her from mansplaining

HE was what she most feared.
So he gave her a means of mastering him
So that he could master her

She asked him to bind himself to her
So he did.

In Tirharad she bound himself to her
and in so doing bound them forever

Forced to be in each other's proximity
Forever thereafter

But never together
A constant knocking
That is never answered
