A/N: This and all the drabbles that follow are based off of the live action Sailor Moon series which I do not own. The themes were yoinked from Live Journal's 30nights community. It doesn't follow any one particular character or pairing. It contains spoilers for the entire series. They don't take place in any specific order or time during the series. Each story is as close to canon as possible unless otherwise stated. Some details may have been added on, or modified due to lack of detail from the show, or for a more creative piece of work. I hope you enjoy reading.


Jealous Destruction

By Rachel

She watched them together all the time thinking that she was the only one who knew of their forbidden love. Meeting in the light of the Earth, or the light of Moon depending on where they happened to be at the time. They never realized that one lonely servant girl watched them, hiding behind bushes or a pillar. Serenity and Endymion were too wrapped up in their love affair to realize that anyone may have caught on. Even if they did know, though, who was going to believe one brainless servant girl.

Beryl knew all about them though. She watched as they whispered sweet nothings to each other under the cover of night. She alone noticed their hands lacing together as they walked through the magnificent gardens. Beryl saw all loving glances across the ballroom as they spoke with the royal delegates. Nothing escaped her keen notice. Not one kiss or brush of the fingers. And she wishes it were her.

The servant dreamed of being in the Moon Princesses place. Of feeling Endymion's warm cheek against her own as he whispered in her ear how beautiful she was. That no princess could ever compare to her. How her fiery hair shone in the light of the moon, and how her lips tasted like blooming flowers. Poetry and sweet nothings she pretended to loathe and despise were really what she desired.

Now the servant was a queen and she still didn't have her prince, her king. Once she had located him in the reborn world it was already too late. He'd found his Moon Princess again, and again the love of the past was rekindled. She could see it every time they looked at each other, every time they touched. It almost seemed like their love sparkled like magic. Beryl longed to put that magic out, to shove the princess of good and moonlight into the relm of eternal darkness and watch her suffer. Then when Endymion's grief was worst she would come to his comfort and pull him out of the despair. Together they would rule Earth, side by side, forever.

But even with all the dark power she possessed, still she could not worm her way into his heart. Even when she theatened those he cared for most if he didn't love her, he still loved that insufferable princess. There was nothing Beryl could do, nothing seemed to come between them. Nothing ever had and, it seemed, nothing ever will.

It was okay in the end, because she had the power to plunge the world into darkness. And if that's what it took...
