A/N: Started another monster, that I have. I've had this idea nagging at me for the past couple of months, now. Updates will be slow, as I have a few other projects to work on which take precedence, and life is, as always, a bitch.

Comments are very much appreciated, and the more I get, the more I write.

Monsieur Autriche,

It has been a great while since I have written you, no? There are many ghosts between us, especially on a day such as this. I know I am the last person you wish to hear from today of all days, but as I was going through my old belongings, I found some items which may be in your interests to see.

They are a few of my personal journals from long ago - four, to be exact. I cherish them still, but it is unlikely that I'll ever read them again. They are from that time, you see. La Révolution Française.

Yes, I wrote of her.

I know her mention still pains you, even now. God knows I still see her every time I close my eyes. She haunts my dreams. Does she haunt yours?

You'll probably burn this letter after reading it. Forgive me, but I needed you to know. That is why I did not label it with my name or my country's mark. You would have burned it first, not after. Later, you'll try and forget what I've told you, but I know you won't. It'll eat away at you until you have no choice but to come to me.

Remember, mon ami, it is a piece of her. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I'll be waiting.

Tout mon amour,

France.
