AN: something quick, trying out new writing style. original idea was them winning the war, but she lost; but idea changed as I was writing, and ended up this way. quite interesting, I must say.
Sorry for all the angsty-ness, but I like writing these drabbles and can't seem to stop... hopefully the next one will be happier...
