Your Love Made It Well Worth Waiting (For Someone Like You)
A very fluffy fanfic
This part contains no Smut, however a second part with smut will be posted soon
Evangeline never thought she'd been the kind of women to want a quick elopement; as a young girl she'd dreamed of a beautiful wedding full of family and friends.
But Evangeline no longer had a family, and the moment she'd been waiting for her entire life would be better alone.
Her feet shook as she walked the lite path. Flower petals lined the ground, brilliant colors that even stood out against the darkening sky. Her pink and white dress swayed around her feet, gold lacing lining the skirts and her corset.
For the first time since coming to The Magnificat North Evangeline Fox truly felt like she belonged to royalty. A crown of wildflowers rest in her hair, she spent all day making it away from her soon to be husband.
Overhead the moon and stars showed to their fullest, like all the celestials' in the sky were here for her wedding.
The thought brought warmth to her heart, that some greater force led them to each other, finding peace for both of them.
Her feet walked on their down towards the dock, where her true love awaited her. Her heart beat frantically, something in her mind telling her this was too good to be true. After all the suffering that they'd gone through that someone would tear them apart again.
But Hope rang through her soul, and Evangeline could not resist its call.
The Silver ring on her finger felt like a beacon to him, and like a moth to a burning inferno Evangeline followed.
Her pace picked up when she caught sight of the tall man waiting for her at the end of the dock, his gilded hair gleaming under the stars. The look that crossed his Silver eyes set her heart ablaze, she felt like she was burning in the sweetest of fires.
Jacks held out his hand and Evangeline took it as if it was the last thing she'd ever do. She'd die in the next moment if she didn't touch him; she'd cry a million tears to have his lips against hers.
And every part of her existence knew Jacks had done the same without her. Knew of all the blooded tears he cried searching for her, the corpse left in his wake while he lost hope looking for her.
Evangeline had enough hope in her heart for both of them.
Evangeline was the only star in the sky that mattered, the only saint he would pray to, the candle that guided him home, the arrow that always struck true.
She was his as last, and after a thousand years of searching for his one and only true love, Jacks was happy.
Something he'd only been when he knew her, those gray eyes had haunted his soul since his first gaze upon her in his church. He wondered back then if she'd remain a tool, but she hadn't been in a long time.
He could remember the first time he held her, despite his displeasure he cherished the moment. Wanting to hold her again when she'd healed, wanted her lips upon his, wanted her warm body against his fridge one.
He loved the women in front of him more than anything in this world, he defied death and time to keep her safe. He did the impossible, and for her he'd do much more.
Nothing mattered except for her, nothing would ever compare to her.
Jacks would kill for the women in his arms, he'd die and pray to every god to be reborn to find her again. He'd search every corner of the world, every village and every house if it meant having her.
In this life and whatever came the day after he will face his mortality he would be hers.
Perhaps he was hers from the moment he drew his first breath in this world?
In his Soul he knew it was true.
For Jacks of The Hollow, Jacks the Prince of Hearts, and The Archer, had always belonged to his Fox. His heart beat for one purpose, the women who wore his ring.
He smiled a brilliant thing that lite up the night sky and Evangeline's heart.
She spoke, "Shall we Wed now my beloved?"
Her voice shook, but he smiled and guided her to the end of the dock.
Candles set alight on the dock posts, flicking in the darkness.
He'd spent hours preparing this for her, so she could have the closest thing to her dream as she could.
How she loved this man in front of her.
A spool of Red ribbon rested on the dock, next to his silver dagger that she was all to familiar with.
"This is one of the old ways," his voice spoke at last, "my parents married this way, Honora and Wolfric married this way, and if they had more time Lyric and Aurora would've too."
He paused, "This is truly the only way I know how, legend says that it binds two soul together, so that they will always find each other."
Evangeline smiled and cupped his face in warm hands, her smile could've stopped wars and almost stopped his heart.
"I do not need a piece of ribbon to bind your soul to mine, my heart decided a long time ago that we will always be bound."
Jacks smiled kindly and rested his forehead against hers, and she to knew that he never wanted to this moment.
This state of bliss and love that would start the rest of their lives, their happily ever after awaited them on the other side of that ribbon.
How does it begin?
Her words slipped into his mind, not wanting to break the silence.
I'll measure a piece of ribbon, that we'll wrap around are arms, the binding words are spoken from the bride first than the groom.
Her heart fluttered.
And then what my Love?
His smile turned devilish.
He spoke, "We kiss, and then I take my new bride home and consummate our marriage."
Evangeline smiled and crashed her lips against his, the sound of his joyous laughter echoed across the lake.
And after an eternity of waiting, Jacks began cutting the Red ribbon of Fate.
He dropped his knife and it clatter somewhere he didn't care to look, he couldn't take his eyes off his Evangeline.
And carefully with their hands interlocked, Jacks began binding the ribbon around their arms.
Evangeline swore that her soul felt as it was clinging onto Jacks, her life was connected to his in every sense possible.
Messily Jacks tied the knot at the bottom and took a breath.
"The bride will say her vows first ," his tied hands squeezed hers.
"With the Ribbon I bind thee, soul and body to the keeper of my heart and holder of my hand. To Wed and love, for the remainder of my days and for even more after we fade."
As she withdrew a golden ring from her pocket, and carefully slide it onto Jacks long pale fingers.
As she looked up Jacks met her eyes, an eternal happiness burning in his soul not even the lake could put out.
And breathlessly he began his binding.
"With the Ribbon I bind thee, soul and body to the keep of my heart and the holder of my hand. To Wed and love, for the remainder of my days and for even more after we fade."
As Jacks slide the silver ring onto her finger she felt a pull to her heart, a pull that Jacks felt too.
A burning in her heart and soul that her husband felt too.
She didn't have time to dwell on it; as Jacks crashed his lips to her and carefully pulled apart the ribbon.
His lips consumed her, every inch of her belonged to him and she knew the man who was revenging her lips felt the same.
Carefully without her noticing Jacks placed the ribbon into his jacket pocket, he knew she would want to keep it for years to come.
And while still distracted Jacks swept his wife up bridal style and began walking towards their home, his lips not once leaving hers.
And so Evangeline Fox was carried by Jacks of the Hollow into their happily ever after.
