Summary: Kyrion will never see that smile, hear that laugh again.


In his dreams, Myca smiles, shy and brief and bittersweet: in his dreams, Melantha laughs, clear and bright, her voice without shadows. Kyrion will never see that smile, hear that laugh again: Myca is dead and Melantha shattered, and he couldn’t save them. He should have done more. Should have, could have, didn’t, failed-

(blaming himself is easier than accepting that they could never have been saved)

Blaming yourself is easier, I agree.

[crossfortune]

It always is.

ow.

seriously ow.

Especially that last line. You are so good at gut-punches of last lines.

[crossfortune]

Thank you.

I've definitely been working on it.

The whole thing is so sad and it STILL ends on a gutpunch.

*THUMBS UP*

Thank you: I'm glad you liked it.

I have a lot of practice writing gutpunches: maybe I should write something happy for a change. for practice.
