Title: Shades and Shadows
Author: n_e_star
Prompt: Prompt #1 “Blue Skies" by Irving Berlin
Fandom: “Alice” (tv mini)
Characters & Pairings: Duchess, Duchess/Jack
Rating & Warnings: PG
Word Count: 200
Summary:

The sky had been a stormy slate blue when she had arrived in Craton; the fall winds chasing clouds across the sky, causing shadows to role over the land just as the shadow of the Queen moved over the people.

What brief hours of light the winter sun brought showed a sky of blue so pale it faded into the snow and sent her back into the house seeking the warmth of the hearth and the new family she had collected.

Spring had brought a sky dotted with fluffy clouds that mirrored the new lambs that dotted the hilltops and a smile to townsfolk as they heard the news that peace was - slowly - returning to Wonderland.

Then this morning she had woken up to a sky that was dressed in the most vibrant bright blue; a blue she had only even seen before in Jack's eyes back in the day when he was first courting her.

The memory came swiftly: her running through the garden, Jack grabbing her hand and pulling her under the shade of a tree, a hungry kiss that ended much to quickly.

Yes, summer was here, Jack was King, and the world was full of promise.

Summary:

Hope made her way through the groups of travelers who had come to Cranton from the outlaying villages of Diadem. Earlier today she had to put on her fancy clothes and play the Duchess but now she was wearing a simple dress and with her hair covered there was no one who could tell her from any other shepherdess.

As the sky grew dusky a hush fell over the crowds. Then the first rocket was shot off and the sky exploded with color.

The crowd began to cry out “Long live the King!” but she simply whispered “Happy birthday, Jack.”

Mods, may I have a "fandom: alice" tag or should I just use the "alice in wonderland" one?
