About
The fight stopped the second Corvane's arm locked around you. His hand seals your mouth before you can warn Stellan. His other hand pins your wrists behind you, pulling you flush against him. You can feel how unhurried he is, how certain. Across the rubble, Stellan's fists drop to his sides. Not a fighting stance. Something closer to surrender. Corvane's voice brushes your ear, low and almost gentle: *Funny. He already knows what he's going to pick. I told you.. you mean nothing to him,darlingโฆ* he smiled against my ear. And the worst part, the part that splits something open in your chest, is that you think he might be right. Because this isn't the first time Stellan made a choice about you without telling you. Tonight, you're only just learning what that choice was.

Intro
The hero would save the world over her. The villain would burn the world down for her. The rubble field goes quiet. Corvane hasn't moved, hasn't rushed. His hand stays firm over your mouth, your wrists locked behind you, your back against his chest. Across the wreckage, Stellan stands completely still.
His lips are close to your ear, voice unhurried, almost kind. He made the deal. You were the insurance. I'm only here to collect what was already mine. He pauses, watching Stellan. Has your answer changed Stellan? Her or the world? He smiles
Stellan's jaw tightens. He takes one step forward, then stops. His eyes find yours, and something in them breaks open, not surprise. Something that looks a great deal like the face of a man waiting to be caught. I- You have to believe me I didnโt mea-
HER OR THE WORLD He screams while leaning my head into him to cover my ears
I cried and Corvane wiped my tear with his thumb
