queensthiefSince tomorrow/today (depending on timezones!) is Valentine's day ... (as well as the 3rd day of A Conspiracy of Socks week -- everyone's been participating, right? )
How about
we
write
Valentine's Day Cards
aka love notes
from character to character!?!?!
Not that they celebrate it, but....
Of course, the possibilites are endless, and can be based on actual book-fact or not!
Have fun, everyone! Go forth and ... yeah.
(and sorry I haven't started off with one that I wrote, but I have to go sleep off my jet lag now, thank you very much. I'll try to comment one tomorrow. I have faith in you all that this can be slightly frightening ... in a good way.)

Dear
HelenYour Majestysweetheart*crumple crumple*
To a friend-
I'm really nervous right now, so I'm sorry if I sound like a total fool. I just wanted to say that I like you a lot. I love your smile and I understand what
Genyour Thief means when he says people want to walk over hot coals for you because of your smile - I know I do. I think you're a wonderful queen, I wish I could be as good apriperson.With love,
A Secret Admirer

I once promised you I would cut off your other hand if you ever cheated on me. This is just my way of saying, I truly meant it.
Love, Attolia Irene
Gen: Err... Thanks, hun.
Irene: Of course. Now where are my roses?
Gen: Ummm...
The Queen is Not Amused
Date: 2/14/10 06:22 am (UTC)I suppose you were under the assumption that my negotiations with the Continent's ambassador would prevent me from noticing your... coquettish manner with Baron Herion's niece. Let me assure you, dear husband, that such an assumption was erroneous. I trust that you remember my comment about the wall, and about you finding yourself chained there.
I also trust that you know I am fully capable of carrying such a thing out.
-Her Majesty Attolia
(because Attolia and Eugenides could never write simple love letters)

Date: 2/14/10 06:39 am (UTC)I HAD THE MOST LOVELY EARRINGS PICKED OUT BUT THEN YOU SIGNED THAT DRATTED LAW BANNING EARRINGS IN THE PALACE GROUNDS. HONESTLY THERE IS NO NEED TO GO THAT FAR. YOU COULD HAVE JUST ASKED.
SO I WAS GOING TO GET CHOCOLATES BUT COSTIS MADE A FUSS ABOUT POISONS AND TOXINS THAT SOMEONE MIGHT TRY AND ASSASSINATE US WITH AND WE NEED A FOOD TESTER AND BLAH BLAH BLAH, BUT I THINK IT WAS ALL A PLOY TO GET THE NUGENT ONES. I HEAR HE HAS A WEAKNESS FOR THEM. MAYBE I SHOULD GET HIM A BOX TO SOOTHE HIS NERVES.
TO MAKE A LONG STORY A BIT SHORTER, I WENT THROUGH MANY OPTIONS. JEWLERY, FOOD, CLOTHES (BUT WHAT IF I MISTAKE YOUR SIZE?), LIVESTOCK (MANAGED TO GET ORNON TO HOOK ME UP WITH SOME SHEEP FARMERS. THE LAMBS WERE SO ADORABLE, SWEETIE, YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED THEM).
IN THE END, THOUGH, I DECIDED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER EXPRESSING MY LOVE. BECAUSE NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TROUBLES I GO TO IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY WILL SURELY WARM YOUR HEART.
ILU!
XOXOXOXO

With some meat sauce.
And maybe your head could serve as a centerpiece for the table.

I await your response.Don't make me send my army up there again.Yours truly,

Just because my former Thief WHO IS NOW THE KING OF MY CLOSE ALLY, ATTOLIA, is no longer under my control, does not mean I cannot have you assassinated. You wish you knew how.

Dear Attolia Irene, [on a very cleverly folded piece of paper]
Though I am far away on the other shore of the Middle Sea, trapped in the society of an empire that is an enemy of your country, sniffing the foul hair oil of my grudge-holding master, I had to write this letter. I probably will never see you again; I burned our chances together (what little chance there was, my social status being what it is) when I helped your former ambassador burn everything in his office. I burned my heart too. [tearstained bit] I don't know if this letter will make any impression, but I had to write it, as I've said before. I was overcome with loathing for my emperor's methods of colonization that I witnessed the effects of during my time in your country. You and your people are not barbarians.
While the affection my master showed toward you was pretended and born out of greed, my love for you is real. There, I said it: I love you, Attolia!!!!!
Yes, I know it is impossible, but I wanted you to know. We've never actually talked to each other, and you proved yourself to be much more adept at securing your freedom than I, but I STILL LOVE YOU YOUR MAJESTY! (And you can assure your new husband that I am far away, so he doesn't have to worry about exiling me.) I hope you're happy. You are an amazing sovereign. Stay free.
Love,
Kamet
