fic: thy eternal summer shall not fade

Title: thy eternal summer shall not fade
Fandom: FE10
Rating: no more than G, probably
Character/Pairing: Bastian/Lucia
wordcount: a little over 1,000
A/N: Kink meme, original request being: FE9/10; Bastian/Lucia; formal, traditional courtship (bonus points if Lucia finds the whole thing rather silly)

This was such an excuse for me to use Shakespearian sonnets. The title (and quotation) come from sonnet XVIII. (A) daily rose means thy smile I aspire to

I attempted to get Bastian’s voice right. He’s not particularly easy to write. The thicker prose style is also to mesh with his narrative.

Also for the poetry themetable at mission_insane Hey, if runespoor7 does it then I feel justified by joining in.
