"It's like in the great stories... The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why."
Oh, purdy! Love the staring contest composition in the first one, and the colour of the purply-sparkly one. And Melanie is really pretty *shallows* (now, if this actually went canon, I might even peek into the show every once in a while, lol).
Oh, very pretty! Especially the last one is very sparkly! Now we need fic to go with it. Well, the deadline for the ficathon is not there yet, maybe I'll get an idea (not a promise).
