1. Any ship with its own love theme screams "True Love"
2. No couple can make nose-bumping a major turn-on
3. Because he only smiles when he's with her
4. Because even dinner knives ship them
5. Because he constantly misses her
6. Because if anything happens to her, he'd die
7. Because if it's up to him, she'll never marry
8. Because they're like Abelard and Heloise
9. Because any other couple on the show who think they're like Abelard and Heloise are F.A.K.E.
10. Because she'll never love a husband like she loves him
11. Because "I should keep you here in chains. I suspect you would be happier." And so would we!
12. Because she misses his hands and he misses her face.
13. Because he'll never forgive her scumbag husband.
14. Because killing her husband is easy and Cesare doesn't want easy.
15. Because he's the first person in the family to hold her baby.
16. Because she doesn't need her baby-daddy when Cesare is around
17. Because he was pacing like a true father-to-be when she went into labor
18. Because she'll always have him
19. Because even history ships them. They're so canon.
20. Because he carried her over the threshold on her wedding night
21. Because they're the ideal lovers.

Okay. BL.Arinna_1982 suggested the wonderful title.

Nelly - I posted an answer to your post on the last thread, second to last page.

If anyone has anything they would like to add to the OP etc. - let me know.

**BL.Arinna_1982** · 04-24-2012, 12:05 PM

tftnt

I like the title and you can call me Arinna.

**PhoenixRising** · 04-24-2012, 12:05 PM

Oooooh, I love the title!

Please add me!

**BL.Arinna_1982** · 04-24-2012, 12:06 PM

It took you a loooooooooooong way to get you to here.

Nikki K · 04-24-2012, 12:08 PM

Alright, sure - Arianna.

And most certainly, I'll add you straight away, PhoenixRising. Welcome to the thread! Hope we get to see you here often.

Not Arianna. Just Arinna!

Nikki K · 04-24-2012, 12:18 PM

Forgive me, I'm actually really dyslexic. Arinna it is. Sorry again. In my defence, I shortened my own name down so much that people wouldn't be confused... me included. Spelling it is a nightmare.

**BL.Arinna_1982** · 04-24-2012, 12:20 PM

No problem.

Nikki K · 04-24-2012, 12:26 PM

Thanks.

And with such a lovely .gif!

**BL.Arinna_1982** · 04-24-2012, 12:30 PM

Tell me about it! I have tagged Francois, Holiday and The Borgia in Tumblr.

Now I can see all the beauty.

Nikki K · 04-24-2012, 12:32 PM

Haha. I only use tumblr for the fanfic list.

Neda16 · 04-24-2012, 12:37 PM

TFTNT!

Love the title and that gif!

Haha I stalk The Borgias tag, Cesare Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia, Francois Arnaud, Holliday Grainger, and Cesare x Lucrezia tags

And I just made these

**BL.Arinna_1982** · 04-24-2012, 12:48 PM

Perfection!

I shall stalk Cesare, Lucrezia and Cesare and Lucrezia tags as well.

Nikki K · 04-24-2012, 01:08 PM

Neda - oh those are beautiful. Do you have one from the scene before where he comes up to her and they hug? They kind of looked like a married couple with the baby and the nanny in the background in that one.

Thank you for sharing!
