I really wanted to write something for Wondertrev because Steve's death was one of the most painful things I've ever gone through so I have to write fanfiction to ease the pain. I decided to do the "everything is black and white until you meet your soulmate" AU because I love that concept.
Disclaimer: I don't own Wonder Woman.
During the day the sky is gray with dashes of white, and at night the sky is pitch black, with little white dots sprinkled throughout the darkness. That's just the way it is, and always has been for Diana. Her whole world was nothing but shades of black and white. Though it wasn't exactly ideal, and deep down the princess of Themyscira really wanted to see all the different hues, she had accepted the possibility that she might never meet the person who was perfectly suited to her. So when she sees color for the first time, to say she's surprised is an understatement.
The fact that Diana's world suddenly had color in it didn't even register in her brain at first. She was much more focused on rescuing the stranger from the sea. It wasn't until she gently laid him down on the shore that it fully registered.
Here he was… the first man she had ever seen in person. Her soulmate. He reminded her of the warriors she had seen in her mother's triptych. If only his eyes weren't shut, then she could see what color they were. Maybe they were brown like his hair, or perhaps green. Wait… closed eyes… was he dead? No, he couldn't be. The colors would disappear if he was, wouldn't they? She slowly reached out to touch his face, hoping to get some kind of response. As soon as her fingers touched his face he flinched back, she breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her hand as he started coughing up water and attempted to sit up.
Once his hacking ceased and got in a somewhat comfortable position he looked up at her and their gazes locked. Though his eyes are squinting due to the brightness of the sun, Diana can now see that his eyes are bright blue. They're so beautiful. Do all men have eyes this breathtaking? She was almost tempted to lean forward to get a better look at them, but before she could do anything, her soulmate spoke.
"Do you see them too?"
Clarification wasn't necessary. Diana knew exactly what he meant by "them". She didn't have the words to answer his question, it was like the fact that she had found her soulmate had rendered her speechless. All she could do was smile and nod eagerly.
I might write a part two, but I'm not sure yet so I won't make any promises. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
