Day 1, 26. Feb. 2020: Favourite AU

"Uh, Luna?"

Tamina and I were on our way home from school, walking through snow that already went half-way up our shins.

It had snowed all night and so far it didn't look like it would stop anytime soon. I loved that kind of weather.

"Luna!" Tamina repeated.

"Huh?" I looked in her direction.

"I always wanted to ask you one thing. I know you love reading fanfiction even though you lately almost stopped. So, what's your favourite kind of fanfiction?"

I thought for a few seconds before answering.

"I love AUs. But I don't know which one is my favourite. There's so many of them: Modern, crossover, Hiccup abducted as an infant, him running away with Toothless, him having a sister. Especially twin sisters seem to be the fandom's favourite. I love all of them and my favourite always depends on my mood."

Tamina nodded in understanding.

I knew she didn't read as many fanfictions as me but she too had her favourites. And never before had we talked about fanfiction genres. We just recommended our favourite stories to one another. It had just never occurred to me to pick a favourite genre or topic.

I kept thinking for the rest of the day. While we did our homework, ate our lunch, even when we went for a snow walk.

After dinner it finally stopped snowing, the clouds parted and the moon shone down, casting everything in a silver light. Tamina, who was still around, and I decided to go bobsledding in the moonlight.

That was something I had enjoyed as a child, especially when other people from the village went too and the path was lighted with torches on both sides.

Laughter filled the air on that beautiful evening as we went down the slopes over and over again. After what I think was my fifth time sledding down that hill I finally found my answer to that question I had pondered over all day.

"Tamina!" I screamed up the hill, where my friend just finished her ascend. She turned around and I gave her the signal to join me.

After less than half a minute she was sitting right next to me on my sled.

"You remember that question you asked me after school?" She nodded and I continued. "I can finally answer it properly. My absolutely favourite AU is sibling AU and yes, it took me all day to decide."

I grinned and Tamina smiled back.

"You know I didn't really expect you to answer that, right?"

I punched her in the shoulder and then gave her a snowy hug.

"Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ever wish for."
