Reason's Desire
by SMYGO4EVA
At first, Firestar turned around. She hadn't asked Chromia what had happened, or why it happened. Only that it wasn't her fault. She loved and hated Chromia – she would kill her and kill for her in equal measure. She didn't want to see her perish in cold space
But at the last minute, she turned back to look, and discovered that Chromia had never looked more beautiful than she did in the midst of battle.
Chromia, Firestar thought. She closed her optics for a brief moment.
When she found out that Chromia survived, her chest ached. All she wanted was to see her again, not on the battlefield, not as an old flame, but as equals.
But Chromia pressed onward, and Firestar had to live with that in return, away from reason's desire.
