Title: Waiting Rating: PG Word Count: 132 Pairing: Lark/Rosethorn Round/Fight: 1/B Summary: Lark is waiting
The war in Gyongxe was over. The Yanjing army had been repelled.
But Lark still spent sleepless nights trying to escape the feeling that it felt she had lost.
But through the darkness, a beam of light shone across the floor- hope. She was intoxicated on it, drunk with the hope that Rosethorn would return; that she would come home.
And still she waited, and weeded Rosie’s garden, and brought her mug down from the shelf every morning.
Waiting.
The days became longer, and the news brought in from the east turned to grain crops and exotic dyes instead of the blood and gravestones that Lark saw in her dreams. She almost gave up hope, but she found that she couldn’t. Not her Rosie. Not the woman she loved.
So Lark waited.

Aw, I love the idea that Lark would weed Rosethorn's garden while not giving up regardless of how long they were gone. It's so sweet and perfect.

This: ...and brought her mug down from the shelf every morning
in combination with this: Not her Rosie. Not the woman she loved
killed me so dead that I can't even explain it. Heart, broken. I'm going to have to fix it before I read the next fic.
(Which means, by the way, that I think your fic is marvellous.)
