I'm surprised by the reception to that last drabble. Seems like a number of you want me to make it a multichapter fic. I must say that I'm... intrigued by the idea. I'll have to think on it some more.

Title: Envious
Pairing: Midnight x Lucy
Requester: empressofeverything
Prompt: "Her smile"
He hated her smile.
That carefree, clueless grin of hers, that set his teeth on edge with how much he loathed it. She didn't know of pain, of suffering. She was one of the masses, clueless to the depravity that had happened under the world's watch, if not outright complicit in it. Rich, entitled. The world at her fingertips.
Whereas Macbeth had only ever known of misery. At his family's hands, and then the Tower's. Later, Jellal's as well. In his research on the Infinity Clock, he'd come across mention of Jude Heartfilia. A father that still searched for his missing daughter, even seven years later. Spoke endlessly of his love for her, how much he missed her, how he would hand over the world for one last chance to see her again.
She had a guild that still cared for her, too. That had had her back seven years ago and still did today. Friends that stuck with her not out of habit, or familiarity, but out of love and affection.
He hated the looks full of pity that Erik would give him, too, when he dwelt on it too long. And her power, her agency, her ability to be a part of the world around him.
She had everything he wanted most in all the world, and he despised her for it.
Her and her smug, condescending, infernal smile.
