So, enlightened by the same spirit that inspired some other users like @Nightgazer, I decided to make some writing of my own.
I don’t Know if my English is right this time or if this is kinda out of character, it is supposed to happen the night before Melissa’s wedding. Anyway, I proudly present to you:
Read The Corniest Fanfic Ever
The night is silent and Melissa is standing in the garden, just like you expected. You are thinking how to approach her when suddenly she speaks.
“What are you doing here?” She says, not even turning back.
“I thought you would like to talk… and I imagined I would find you here.”
“How did you know?”
“As a child, you always came here… every time something bad happened. You used to say that your problems and the rest of the world felt far away. Apparently, some things never change.”
“No… we… we have changed.” She finally faces you and you can see, her eyes are red and her hair is a mess, in her expression there is no a trace of the happy girl you saw not so long ago “Look at us, we both, once carefree children that lived outside an adult world that seemed so distant, are now in this situation… and to think that a few days ago I was hoping that would never have to change.”
“Melissa, you are too cruel…”
“I didn’t mean to upset you”
“Not with me, with yourself. You are going to be my brother’s wife, the queen. It’s an honor to know that your union will bring stability to the kingdom and eventually, a new heir to the throne.”
“Do you really believe in that?”
It is what you have been taught to believe, a marriage is meant to serve a purpose despite your personal preferences. But can you really look at Melissa at her eyes and tell her that your feelings don’t matter? She knows you too well to know when you are lying.
After a silence that lasts too long, Melissa approaches you and asks something else.
“Tell me, why does your brother have a scar on his eyebrow?”
“What do you mean? My brother is the Golden Lion, the one who has lead his men to so many victories. Scars are to be expected on a warrior like him.”
“A warrior… as such… How many kings before him lost their lives in the battlefield? How many of them saw their own hands covered by the blood of others?”
“You don’t like warriors…”
“I hate them… after all; the only boy I have ever loved was never very skilled with the blades.”
“Oh… Melissa… you are mocking me.”
“Maybe I am indeed too cruel…” You can’t help but laugh. She stares at you with a smile for a brief moment, and then suddenly her expression changes again “I’m going to miss these moments so much.”
“I should go, I came here to offer you comfort but my presence here is only making you feel worse.”
“Wait…” She grabs you by the arm “before you go… I… I…” She seems to have trouble finding what to say “tomorrow I will become consort of a man who I barely know and… and I don’t know if I will be able to come here again, and even if I do it would not be the same. So, have this, I want you to keep it.”
She shows you a flower, you have seen it before.
“You still have it, after so many years…”
“I wasn’t Eadizlove but magic was able to keep it alive.”
“No, I can’t accept it.”
“As a child, how many times were you so kind to me? And how many times I did not thank you for it? I don’t know what future awaits us, but I want you to have this, so every time you see it, you will remember that I will always be grateful to you for filling these years with such fond memories.”
“It’s funny, though.”
“What?”
“How I came here to offer you comfort, and you are the one that made me cry.”
THE END
God bless my boredom, I’m mostly doing this as an excuse to practise my writing and my art for a project of my own. If you have heard my opinions of fanfiction, you’ll know that I strongly believe that it helps to create better writers, however if @Sophia doesn’t wish that I post this here, I will delete it.
After this I think I’ll do a fanart of Chris/Kristin and that’s it, no more fanart.
