Title: Orchid and Rose
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Word count: 6,000 (jeesus)
For: vicks111 on cg_flashfic, who requested a Clovis fic, because the only person who doesn't love Clovis is nonexistent.
Comments: Whyyyy is this fic so close to my heart, God.

Summary: Being caught between greatness and goodness will tear you apart.

( She had pink lips and pink cheeks and hands that felt soft and fragile like flower petals. Her eyelashes were long and her eyes were blue and always open wide. Clovis knew a lot about her but very little of her, and he wondered if that should make him sad. )

I can imagine how Suzaku wouldn't really work here, since Clovis and Suzaku probably never met and even if they did, Clovis would probably forget him the moment after. But who knows? The ghei Britannian brothers seem to have a thing for the cute Eleven. XD

Ah, and I can see how you would refer back to Fool Ascendant, but I assure you those are very different relationships. It's just that we ficcers tend to go back to old themes. :) Gods help me, but I think I will go back to crazy! Lelouch, since he is canon after all.

And I completely agree with your view on their family. It's hard to not be crazy in that place and yes, there must be tons of mental illnesses going on. Crazy, inbred royals. They remind me a little of the Turkish Empire, with its many wives, demented children and whatnot.

Thank you so much for exploring that particular dynamic. One thing I love about Clovis' love/hate for Lelouch, is that it only became possible because Lelouch was close enough for him to love/hate. He was not an ideal like some of his siblings. He was just a kid and Clovis saw that right from the start.

I guess one wouldn't be able to write a Clovis fic without tons of imagery. I commend you on your decision. :) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PRIORITIES.
