Author's Note: AU? I think this is what you call AU? xD Please tell me if it is if you do know! I'm not sure what else to say about this besides it's the FefEriSol triangle. ouo With emphasis on the FefEri. w
Sorry it's so short and possibly out-of-character? :'D This was before I finished Homestuck and I did it for a creative writing class assignment (had to be less than 350 words.)
Enjoy, glub! 3 38)

He stepped into the water, his chuckle slowly mutating from that of an affable friend to that of a heinous enemy. He could feel the ocean's spirit flow from the tips of his toes to the crown of his head; he felt his powers intensify to new heights, the entire sea under his full control. The edges of his violet cape soaked in the briny waters as he spun around to face his doomed target.

Tears trickled down her cheeks as she uttered more "sorry"s… and he couldn't help, but smile slightly. Even through the haze, the blood and the tears, she was, as always, beautiful.
