spindizzySo thebaconfat asked for Kyoko and Sayaka bringing down the house and I was going to write something happy and fluffy about them dropping a building on a witch or, but that is not what came out. Plus it took like two hours to write two drabbles, one of which I'm still not happy enough with to post, SO. Take this while I ponder.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica // Her final bow
G | 100 words | Kyoko, Sayaka | Spoilers for the end of Sayaka's story arc | It's time for them to take their final bows and leave the stage.
"It's fine," she whispers. "I'll stay by your side, Sayaka."
Kyoko's soul gem is hot against her lips. Such a little thing, but she can feel it burning against her, feel it igniting the air. Perhaps Sayaka can feel it too, as the floor shakes apart beneath them, as the walls start to crumble down; she's stopped conducting, music silenced, holding herself still as though she can finally hear Kyoko's voice. They're going to burn together, be buried together, vanish together as this dimension collapses. At least they won't be alone.
She could almost swear she could hear the applause.

This is a fantastic line and the imagery in this whole thing is stunning and fits the feel of the world really, really well.

just UGH perfect how you move out from the small soul gem to the walls coming down to the stillness of Kyoko's voice in the center of it, then back out to the collapse and then this:
At least they won't be alone.
I CAN'T. And the last line is perfect and all of this is perfect.

I think this is my favorite line. It's just--it's a fucking masterpiece, perfectly crafted. It really captures the vulnerability and fragility and beauty of it all. And then you follow it with this powerful line about everything collapsing and it's such a great contrast.
UGH I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS
I am so happy we're getting more snips and writing from you again! I hope you continue to have a space and time for it.

I'm going to keep trying to post more regularly! Like, I can't guarantee anything, but I'm really enjoying having the time and the energy to write again. <3 And I'm really glad you're happy!
