Title: Alone Rating: PG Word Count: 207 Pairing: Lark/Rosethorn Round/Fight: 1/B Summary: For the first time, Rosethorn is alone
Briar was curled up besides Evvy, his hand wrapped around her protectively. Rosethorn shuffled on the straw at the attic of this inn- this place to hide, this refuge.
She couldn’t sleep any more, not without nightmares, not without a horrible, gnawing feeling that they were already too late, that Gyongxe would fall under the swords of the army that was less than a day behind them, and that the rivers would run red with blood.
Rosethorn doesn’t even want to think of Winding Circle. Cups of mint tea; roughly carved furniture; windows that looked to the sea; the comforting rhythm of Lark’s loom.
Lark. Rosethorn clings desperately to her memories of her, but they are overtaken by the recent horrors she has seen. Lark pouring spicy tea in the evening becomes Briar clinging to the body of a woman long dead. Lark wrapping her arms around Rosethorn’s body becomes fire scorching fields of grain. Lark’s soft and warm kisses become blood running in the gutters. Lark singing in the evening becomes the screams as people fall under bright swords.
Like a dying flower, her last happy memories of Lark fade, and for the first time, Rosethorn weeps, because for the first time, she is truly alone.

Aw, this is so sad.
Don't be sad Rosethorn.
