Now Luna is sitting cross-legged, unashamed and white, her long blond hair falling like waves over the curve of her spine. She let it grow after the war - it touches the small of her back, riding her vertebrae like a light-soaked sea. She's playing a pebble.

"It's the season of hurricanes in America, you know," she says.

Ginny didn't know. "Do you wish we had hurricanes here?" she asks.

Luna considers it for a few seconds, her head tilted to the side. "Maybe," she says eventually. "Maybe then we wouldn't miss the war so much."

"It isn't the same thing," Ginny says. The war always forces words out of her when it doesn't make her mute.

"No," Luna agrees, and she looks at Ginny, her eyes shining and endless. "Nothing is the same as the war."

There's a beat of silence that clicks like a metronome in Ginny's mind.

"I'm going to cut my hair," Luna says, soft and intent.

"Oh?" Ginny asks, a little weakly.

"Yes," Luna answers, and then: "It'll be like the end of a love story."

She looks at Luna, and reaches a hand to circle Ginny's wrist with her fingers, nails grazing against her pulse. Maybe it's her idea of an apology, Ginny thinks.

She sneaks a glance at Luna under her lashes and wonders what she would look like with short hair.

They part before the sky gets too yellow, because Luna only likes yellow on dresses and lemons. ("Dawn isn't my favorite season," she said to Ginny once, quietly and like a confidence, just before she slid her fingers into Ginny and made her moan.)

"Goodbye," Ginny says. She's never been one for tears.

Luna kisses her, distractedly. It leaves a sharp tang of newborn nostalgia on Ginny's lips; she wants to wipe it from her mouth with her sleeve, but she doesn't. It can wait.

"Did you know," Luna says, "that the French have two words for goodbye? One if they're going to see each other again, and one if it's for ever."

Ginny wants to say everybody knows that. "Yes," she says instead.

Luna hums, low and calm. "Well then," she says, and stuffs her dirty, nail-bitten hands in her dress pockets, "au revoir."

She smiles. Her eyes are another blue still, ocean with sprinkles of gold. She shrugs. "Or maybe adieu," she adds.

Ginny watches her walk up the path that leads to her house until the pale night swallows her. Then she picks up her bag, hooks the strap on her shoulder and leaves without a second glance for the red, blooming flowers.

Oooooooooh god this is so good.

I love that every line is really important, and well-articulated, and heavy, you know?

"You should kiss me now," Luna says, her fingers laced in her lap. The moonlight shines behind her and makes her glow, cold and delicate. Ginny hadn't noticed the print of her dress. Flowers. Daffodils. I just love the ending of that phrase, the choppy Flowers. Daffodils. That's so very Luna, and very like Ginny to notice.

"Dawn isn't my favorite season," she said to Ginny once, quietly and like a confidence, just before she slid her fingers into Ginny and made her moan. This is the type of thing I can just hear Luna saying in my head, and a really vivid image, too.

A;DKSLFJS I LOVED IT

[theviolonist.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, love ♥ I'm glad you liked it.

I lovelovelove Luna as a character. Writing her is always interesting and difficult and I love her association with Ginny. And thank you for the Flowers. Daffodils. bit! I actually hesitated about putting a hyphen or a semicolon there, so I'm glad it worked without.

Anyway, just thank you, and thank you for pointing me to this meme, it's great!

[portions-forfox.livejournal.com]

Luna is a joy to write! But a tricky one, her. You got her voice down really well.

And yes, this meme is THE BEST THING EVER basically.

[theviolonist.livejournal.com]

Yes! Thank you : )

It really is! I saw one of your prompts that I like, so I'll see if I can fill that later tonight.

[portions-forfox.livejournal.com]

Oooh, please do!

Here's hoping it's the one I think it is ;)

[theviolonist.livejournal.com]

(I'm writing it tonight, swear. I've started it!

And which one do you think it is, then? You've got me curious now.)

[portions-forfox.livejournal.com]

ooooh you wrote blair/serena yaaayy! *scurries off to read it*

for some reason I thought it would be the danielle peazer/eleanor calder one, but this is even better and I actually wanted it more. SO HERE I GO.

[theviolonist.livejournal.com]

yeah, i kind of figured you would expect the eleanor/danielle one, which i'm totally going to write one of these days, but probably in a longer fic? i don't know, i'm thinking something original, maybe their relationship through the eyes of the boys or something like that, i'll see.

anyway, i'm glad you wanted this one more, and i hope you liked it!

[portions-forfox.livejournal.com]

ooooh yes, please do! i would love to read some eleanor/danielle. any love for the girls is great in this fandom.

Oh, this is beautiful, thank you for writing it.

There's this sense of distance between Ginny and Luna, with Ginny feeling wrong-footed for a lot of the meeting, and it is aching and so true. It was very fitting that Ginny didn't quite know what Luna was talking about, when Luna missed the closeness and intensity of war, which is now over.

And god, your prose is stunning. I was hooked from the first paragraph:

the way life violence used to be beautiful until it was their skins the bruises marred and their lovers death took.

asdfjkl;lkjfdsfasdjkl;lkj. From that first instant, you realize the gap between how Ginny thinks about the war, and Luna's.

I loved your imagery so much, too, especially all the descriptions of Luna. They're somehow simple, but original, and very striking. I see Luna as so ethereal, though, and I'm as unsurprised as Luna when she vanishes in the end.

[theviolonist.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it, thanks for the prompts.

I always kind of assume that no one understands Luna, to be honest. Luna doesn't have the social restraints that Ginny has, she's broad-minded and she doesn't understand the fear someone could have to miss the war, for example. She misses it, and that's it. There's no over-analysis with Luna.

Thank you, thank you so much! (Though sorry for all the typos, I re-read and it made me cringe, there's a cleaner version at my journal (http://theviolonist.livejournal.com/15493.html) if you want.)

Thank you ♥

[rosaxx50.livejournal.com]

I got the answer, no worries.

I've answered to this, but it won't show : ( Apparently it's been marked as spam?

Oh this is beautiful and Luna you are such a weird flower, never changes, and Ginny tries, but maybe nothing works and <3

[theviolonist.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, love, I'm glad you liked it ♥

[amles80.livejournal.com]

Wow. This is beautiful... <3
