Author's note: These one-shots are done for the LiveJournal community 52flavours. Since the fandom lacks fanfiction to this wonderful series, I decided to try my hand at them. I was going to do Eclipse x Rein, but why not focus it on the infamous love square? There will be 52 chapters of course, and all couples will be one-sided. (I may intend on putting Eclipse x Rein, though.)
There also will be spoilers for those who haven't followed the series to where I am at now, so read at your own risk!
Serendipity
Theme #3
- Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead
Fine was one of the twin princesses of the Sunny Kingdom and was the bearer of light. Every day, her parents lovingly told her that her light shined in the souls of many, and every day she brought light to those in need. Though she helped others shine, there was only one person that remained hidden in the dark.
Eclipse contrasted from her greatly. While she appeared to be in the realm of light, he strayed in the shadows, away from her. Wherever Fine traveled, Eclipse would keep a safe distance from her. The barrier of opposition subtly pushed them apart, keeping the princess at one end and the trenchcoated boy on the other.
Fine wished to know him, to understand his feelings and to feel his emotions.
She didn't understand why he had to be so close yet so far apart from her.
He haunted her dreams whenever she wasn't dreaming about food, and even there he would be standing in the distance, his mysterious eyes gazing at her with an emotion Fine could not see through. In one of her dreams, Fine would cast a spell to turn the dark setting into a cheery, bright wonderland with its four chandeliers dangling with its exquisite glitter. Eclipse would be standing at the back of the ballroom, half-concealed by the shadows.
She would call his name, but Eclipse would turn around and walk in the opposite direction, the tail of his shady trenchcoat trailing behind the tapping of his footsteps. The shadow would fall over as he retreated into the silent shade.
She still didn't understand why, but she hoped that one day he would let her pass the door to his heart.
One day, his enigmatic darkness would be dispersed by her ray of light.
