Summary
shamelessly self-indulgent fic to make up for the scenes we were robbed of 🤩
coriolanus heads to the lake like every other sunday: with lucy gray, his girl, and the covey; sejanus is also coming, much as it may annoy coriolanus.
they spend the whole day there, and soon night falls. lucy gray suggests a moonlit dip in the lake before heading back, and the rest of the covey are quick to agree. coriolanus stays outside to stand guard.
something –or, rather, someone– soon catches his eye. and it’s not lucy gray. the sight makes a lasting impression, one he’ll never be able to shake off and that will leave him confused and dumbfounded. maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea for sejanus to come along, after all.
who knew a trip to the lake could be such an enlightening experience?
