Miss Moony would like to say that she doesn't own the Circle of Magic, and that she had no help with this story from Miss Wormtail, Miss Padfoot or Miss Prongs.
Drabble, and femmeslash, too. Tris/Many people.

Five Kisses and One Broken Heart
Or: Four romances that Trisana Chandler was never involved in, and one that she was
i. he holds on to kisses like gold…
And she doesn't expect him to give one of them to her when there are thinner, prettier girls to catch his attention.
His lips hit her jaw and he grins and backs away quickly, apologising.
Tris would almost think it was an accident, if she didn't know that Briar never made mistakes of this kind.
ii. you are what circumstances make you…
And circumstances made Tris into a lonely child, a bitter, spiteful girl, and a powerful weather-witch at ten.
Circumstances made Sandry into an orphan, and Tris hopes that the clumsy bump of lips that they share will make them both forget, if only for a moment.
iii. she can't quite remember how chocolate tastes…
Except that it was the sweetest thing she'd ever tasted.
Daja's pink tongue tastes of a nameless substance, sweeter than chocolate. Much sweeter.
iv. the ground feels as cold as ice…
And she thinks that she's more uncomfortable with the fact than Evvy is.
The other girl looks like a hopeful child as she draws away, and Tris' lips almost twitch into a ghost of a smile.
v. she'd known he'd be heartbreaker…
And she'd been right. His lips meet hers carefully, and he pulls away with a playful smile. Tris knows that it will never happen again.
And that one kiss that she shared with Keth breaks her heart more than all the kisses she never shared with Briar, Sandry, Daja and Evvy put together.
