7) mirah - we’re both so sorry
…how can i ever apologize? I meant you no such harmI never knew I could possess that fatal kind of charmI just wanted to be good to you but I found I was disarmedby a lifetime of disillusionment and the distraction of the starsI abdicated now I’m just a prince without a land……I’m sorry ‘bout so much baby but I know you’ll understand…

It took awhile for this mix to take shape and make some kind of sense… But it finally did - just this morning, in fact - and instead of looking at this in a linear manner, I stepped back. And in stepping back, I was able to pull all the threads of love/distrust, want/fear, and sorrow/understanding together in my brain.
Now I dig this mix all the way.
p.s. - the Mirah song has a singular ‘sir’ in there but the rest of the song is so damn great/fitting that I do not care. You shouldn’t care either.

The Rose Bride

llaurorall:

Just a quick drabble for kleptosrbetterlovers, based on this artwork here.

Author: Aurora
Title: The Rose Bride
Pairing: Utena/Anthy, Revolutionary Girl Utena
Rating: U
Summary: A moment of romance after a duel.

You can read it on AO3 or here. Enjoy!

     Utena did not know the song Anthy was humming under her breath. It was more the sound of it she listened to; the gentle crests and lulls of Anthy’s soft voice as it danced. It was the perfect counterpart to the stillness of twilight.
    After another successful duel, she and Anthy were making their way home. She was stiff and sore but seeing Anthy happy, so carelessly free, was more than enough to ease the pain.
    Keeping the light in Anthy’s life was Utena’s sole imperative.
