Title: Midwinters Rating: PG Wordcount: 133 Pairing: Kel/Maura Round: 2/D Summary: They're bookended by Midwinter.
-
It was Midwinter when they first met. It was snowing outside, dusting the trees with powder, and there was no wind. It was nighttime, and there was a ball going on, the customary celebrations. Maura wore a new dress, Kel, an old one. She had wanted to ask the Lady of Dunlath to dance, but it would not adhere to custom, and so she had watched Maura twirl around the ballroom with Merric.
It was Midwinter when they parted the next year, after private meetings and their own midnight parties, after a year that had started well but quickly soured. A year of secrets held, a burden that soon became unwanted, happiness that could not be shared.
It was twelve months for their love affair, but they carried the memories for years after.
