Goodbye LJ...

[windandwater]

This is just to make it official for those who don't know, but I'm leaving LJ completely. For the rest of this week at least. Tomorrow is the Bar Exam and it runs for three days, so don't expect to see me about at all until Thursday night. Or even until the weekend since I plan on spending Thursday after the Bar drunk and crying. No online time for me at all. *whines* It will be hard, but I know I can do it.

So, because I'm a total h0r like that, I am declaring this to be a spam post. Go ahead. Run wild! Give me fics, give me links, give me pics, just babble to your heart's content and rape my inbox so I have something to see when I finally DO come back to the wonderful world of LJ. I don't even care if you write me a drabble and post it one word at a time. XD;

Though, I've tried to make a spam post before and it failed a bit miserably, so I don't have very high expectations this time around. Feel free to prove me wrong though!

Re: Polish

One day, Dorothy finds Relena painting Duo's cross with the silver nail polish Dorothy had tossed in her duffel bag the day she was assigned to guard Relena. She honestly can't remember why she packed it, because she never uses it herself--maybe it was meant to be a gift, or a joke, or a toy...it's sat untouched on her dresser for how many months is it now? "What are you doing?" she asks Relena in a mix of apprehension and exasperation.

Relena shrugs, and says, "I just wanted to see if it would be any better this way."

That night, Dorothy calls up Duo, and asks him what in the name of God was that supposed to mean? Duo asks for a chance to talk for Relena alone.

"So," he says to her, when Dorothy's fetched her and left the room, "is it any better when it's all covered up and polished?"

She shakes her head mutely.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"I don't want to cry again," she tells him.

"So don't."

"What did you do when you felt worthless?"

"I found something else to do. Something worthwhile."

"Did it work?"

"I think so."

"Should I try that?"

"If you're ready, I guess."

"What should I do?"

"I dunno. It's really up to you. By the way," he adds, "Heero's really worried about you."

"He is?"

"Oh yeah. He feels bad for not being able to help you."

"He can join the club," she says with the first touch of irony she's felt in ages. "He isn't....disappointed in me?"

"Good God, no," Duo says. "Frankly, I think he's a little amazed--I know I was--that you lasted as long as you did. As someone who has been through plenty of hell myself, can I just say that you would have been a lot better off if you took a vacation every now and then."

"Oh," she says. "That sounds like a good idea."



et finis.
