Characters/Pairings: Wolfgang Mozart, Mash, mentions of Marie Antoinette

A/N: It's terrible, but I have a weakness for Mozart's and Marie's interactions. Also, fgo, do you really need to make me write fanfiction about historical characters?

Summary: Mozart could laugh at how expected it all was.

"Marie died," Mash softly muttered, gripping her arm tightly. She didn't look at Mozart, her eyes cast to the ground.

"I see." To be honest, he had expected this the moment she had left. Marie had always been a silly girl, more child than queen, and dying as a hero was the most childish dream of them all. She probably saw it as romantic, sacrificing herself to save her country.

Unfortunately, he had never been so idealistic. They had died already once, it didn't require much courage to go through death's door once more. Especially since they'd continue to live on as heroic spirits, waiting for the next master to call them down.

More than a heroic thing, it was a moronic thing and Marie always had a penchant for picking the worst possible option.

"She had a message for you." Jeanne looked somber as she reached out to touch him. "She wanted to hear you piano. And she was sorry."

Mozart neatly stepped back, just out of reach. "That sounds like her."

When the pair looked like they wanted to add something, he shook his head and turned away. "I'm fine."

He was. This was a war, after all. There was no way they could win unscathed.

Still. It was stupid. Terribly unfunny. Not in the least entertaining. By some coincidence they had been reunited like this, both of them summoned out of the countless servants in the throne room. All so he could watch her die again. Due to the same person, even.

Fate truly did have a cruel streak.
