Title: Green Tears
Rating: PG
Summary: The green fairy reflects after Satine's death on Christian's behavior before he starts to write.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with the Moulin Rouge, nor do I pretend to. I only borrow things to write fan fiction.
Author's notes: My first Moulin Rouge fan fiction! Yea for me!

*~*

I can sing. I can giggle. I can flit my wings and dance for you but I can do nothing to save you from your torment. Your pain. Yourself.

I watch you drowning your sorrows and your soul in bottle after bottle of Absinthe, of me, and I know I am helpless.

The girl you long for told you to live life for its beauties and its joys. Not live life for me! If only Satine could tell you to live again!

You wallow in self-pity, day after day, locked up alone in your room, thinking of ways you could have saved her. But you couldn't have done a thing and you know it deep in your heart. She was dying from the day you meet her. She had been slowly dying and you were as helpless to save her as I am at helping you.

So I will continue to perform my duties as Green Fairy, only now I have a frown on my tiny face. With every glass you down, the worse I feel. I have condemned you to forever drown until you simply fade away.

Why not write your story? Why not tell the world of your love? Writing is what you do best, Christian! Or at least it was before you drifted away from life.

You used to smile when you wrote. It would make me so proud, so happy, to see you smile again. I can inspire you! I will laugh happily to make you laugh. I will dance to make your fingers dance across the typewriter!

So write for Satine.

And write for me.
