eaemiliaTitle: Fragmentation
Prompt: Over the Mountains
Bonus? N
Word Count: 244
Rating: K+
Original/Fandom: Sailor Moon
Pairings (if any) Endymion/Serenity
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con etc): none
Summary: Everything is perfect, every kiss, every touch, and her toes curl at the thought of what he may propose.
Serenity loves the mountains more than anything else on Earth. They are majestic and imposing, and when she is on top of them, all of the world is laid out in front of her.
The first time Endymion took her to the top of one was the day she realized that she was in love with him.
So when he takes her to the top of one again, she is filled with giddiness. Something is going to happen, she can feel it in the air and see it in the way Endymion moves.
She spends the entire date just waiting for what he is going to tell her, and anticipation kills every worry. Nothing can go wrong. Everything is perfect, every kiss, every touch, and her toes curl at the thought of what he may propose.
“Serenity,” he says, whispering her name worshipfully as he pulls away from kissing her, his lips swollen and her heart ready to explode as he continues speaking, “I’m getting married.”
“What?” she says confusion crushing the cloud of bliss that had surrounded her.
“I’m getting married. My father arranged an engagement for me.”
“Oh,” she says. Her heart is breaking, shattering into a thousand fragments. “Maybe it’s for the best.” The lie is bitter on her lips, but she offers him a smile anyway, and he returns it. There is relief in it, and that just makes the fragments of her heart deep into her flesh even deeper.
Title: For the Best

Pairings (if any) Endymion/Serenity
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con etc): none
Summary: In the future, Serenity may believe that everything is for the best, but for now, it all hurts too much.
Seeing Venus is what breaks her. Serenity had managed not to cry after Endymion had told her of the engagement, and she had managed not to cry when she returned to the Moon, but when Venus walks into her room that morning, tears erupt from her eyes.
Venus knows the exact cause and even as she hugs Serenity, giving her the comfort she so desperately needs, Serenity knows what she is thinking: that it is for the best.
She had said the same thing last night to Endymion, and she had been telling herself the same thing ever since, and maybe, in the future, it will be true, but for now, everything hurts.
And though it hurts to know that Venus is just a little bit happy about her misery, that she finally stopped going to Earth like Venus wanted her to, she is the only one Serenity can turn to. Because she is the only one who knows anything at all, and maybe the only one who can help Serenity heal.
So even though Venus makes her hurt just a bit more, Serenity can only cling to her and cry.
