Her fingers traced along his skin as he slept, or at least pretended to sleep. The path of her fingertips explored the new shell as she took in the presence of the firm, toned muscles beneath flesh. The ageless youth of face was looked over by her eyes as her touch sank into the short dark of his hair.

Even with his eyes closed, Finn could make Avy?s heart skip a beat as those topaz eyes would always be a constant in her heart. Through all their lives together that was one thing that had never changed. She would always know his eyes.

Her lips brushed against the hollow point of throat and shoulder even as he pulled her closer against him and buried his fingers as fists into her hair. The slumbering tug of his touch brought her a gasp from her lips as she closed her eyes in the sheer pleasure of it. So many lives over and done and yet this was the only life where they belonged solely to each other.

To think it was only hours earlier on that rooftop they had confessed their love. It amazed her even now that he had managed to love her through all of their shared lives when she was intended for another. He had remembered everything and he had come back.

So many names and shells worn even from the beginning. She had been his Hesione, his Isolde, his Guinevere, and so many others only now to become his Avy. She was solely his and his alone for the first time ever in their joined lives. Never had she and never would she stop loving him.

There were surely so many additional lives left to live where they had the freedom to think about family and offspring without the worry of the Order or their kin to interfere. For this life they would just have each other. Her lips brushed along his jaw stirring him from his pantomime of sleep as the topaz of his eyes sought out hers once more.

No longer did she fear this bond, this connection of soul and heart and minds. So much that had kept them intertwined and as she looked up at him all the fear was swept away as in the breath of a moment another connection bound them both together. Her body and his joined as one and for a brief moment Avy understood why the Order feared such a unity.

They would never be separated now, she was his as he was hers and nothing could break that bond, that vow, the claim they held upon each other. No matter what was done from this point forward, nothing the Order or any of the rest tried would break that unity.

Avy smiled through her whisper as she realized no longer would she fear the Order or their kin that had kept them apart for so long. Oh no, for now she realized it was everyone else that should fear them and that unbreakable bond.

?I love you, Finn??
