A/N: Written for the 5,10,20,50,70,100 fandom challenge, fandom 9. I'm done with 10 as well so that's another 90 to go (where am I going to get 90 other fandoms from?)


Xing

They woke up one day
and the world had changed:

Little by little,
in one fell swoop
the curtains ripped away

And the sky painted over,
the glittering star they'd chosen
together…gone

And reflecting something fake,
something without hope,
in her eyes

As she turned to him.

Even her smile was fake –
painted on –
as if she had died in the night
that had passed with
the glittering stars

And even her name had changed.
She was no longer "Star"
but "White".
