A/N: Written for the Symphogear Flash Bingo, #142 – concert.


A Concert with the Ghost of Gungir

There was something about her. Something dangerous, but something familiar as well. Something that would, for brief flashes, take her back to the concerts she'd done with Kanade, when it was just the two of them on the stage, singing their hearts out. And then she'd remember that it wasn't Kanade, that Kanade was gone, and her voice would falter a little as she sang alongside this other, stranger, person…

And then she'd be spun away again by that song, singing with Kanade again, standing on that stage with that strong voice of hhers and Gungir –

And then the spell would break and the very idea would seem nonsensical. It wasn't Kanade. It wasn't even Hibiki. It was Maria, who she barely even knew…

But when Maria stood there in her gear, with her Black Gungir. And it made an almost cruel amount of sense.

But by then the song that sucked her away had ended, and the familiarity, and there was only the danger left.
