For AStichedUpHeart, on the Femmeslash Drabble Tag
Pansy's been called a lot of things in her life. Ugly, nauseating, pug-face Parkinson.
It's not really surprising that she's developed a complex. She doesn't think that she's worthy of being loved, especially after Draco left. Only pretty girls find love, not ones who aren't blessed with good looks, like her.
But Daphne's always there, insisting that she loves her, insisting that Pansy's beautiful. Pansy can't believe her, because it's obvious to anyone with eyes that she's anything but. And there's no way she can love Pansy – can't she see that she's ugly.
Still, Daphne never gives up, insisting that Pansy's beautiful to her. And it takes her a long time, and hundreds of repeated proclamations of Pansy's beauty and her love for Pansy, but she finally believes Daphne.
Pansy Parkinson may not be classically beautiful, but she's beautiful to Daphne. And that's all she needs.
