Pairings (if any) Endymion/Serenity
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con etc): none
Summary: Venus comes clean.
“Serenity,” Venus calls, her voice like a whisper in the wind.
Lifelessly, Serenity turns over in her bed and looks at her friend. Despite all always being the one wanting to plan out the future, to figure out where they were going, she is now desperately unhappy that Endymion has left her. Perhaps it is because he is the one who broke it off, not her. “Yes?” she says.
“I have something to tell you,” she says coming to kneel by the bed. “I was part of the reason why Endymion got engaged.”
“What?” Serenity gasps sitting up.
“I was worried about you, so I went to Earth. I meet a man there, Kunzite. He was close to the prince and worried about him too, and we talked and decided that we needed to make sure things ended between you too, so he convinced the king to arrange Endymion’s marriage.”
Despite the anger growing in her heart, Serenity is calm as she speaks: “You will go to Earth, and you will meet with Kunzite, and you will arrange a meeting for all four of us, and you will tell him what you have done.”
Venus does not even try to protest.

Pairings (if any) Endymion/Serenity
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con etc): none
Summary: Endymion learns as well.
The sun is exceptionally bright that day. She is sitting in a ray of it, and watching as Endymion tries to make sense of what he has been told. Serenity’s heart is breaking as she watches him process it, all of the emotions running across his face: confusion, betrayal, anger, they are all there and more.
And yet, she is happy too. Because even though he is now aware of the fact that his loyal friend has gone behind his back to end his relationship, there is hope for her.
Because maybe, he will decide to end the engagement based on manipulation and return to her.

Summary: The best sort of proposal
“Let’s get married,” Endymion says taking Serenity’s hand in between his.
“What?” she says just Kunzite and Venus do.
“Let’s get married,” he repeats.
“But your engagement,” Serenity says in protest even though all she wants to do is say yes. She doesn’t want to look too eager, even though marriage to Endymion is perhaps the thing she wants most in the world.
“It doesn’t matter,” he says. “We’ll deal with that all later. For now I just want to marry you.”
“But where will we get married?”
“There’s a temple, and the priest will be sure to marry us. We can worry about everything else later,” he declares. “So, will you marry me?”
“Yes,” she says with tears in her eyes.

Pairings (if any) Endymion/Serenity
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con etc): none
Summary: This isn't what she imagined, but it is perfect.
Elysion is the name of the place where they get married. It is by far the most beautiful place that Serenity has ever been. The priest there, Helios, is one of the kindest people she has ever met. And he agrees to marry them without question.
She wishes that the rest of her friends could be there, but for now, their relationship still has to be a secret. It is enough to have Venus there, and even though Venus was the cause of their breakup, she is also part of the reason why they are now marrying. And she is, above all, Serenity’s best friend.
Even though neither Venus nor Kunzite truly want to be there, they do not approve of the marriage even if they want their friends’ happiness, they are still there, and they are the witnesses.
When they exchange vows, Endymion whispers in her ear, “I will always be faithful to you.”
It is not, perhaps, how she envisioned her wedding. There is no grand fanfare, it is by all regards microscopic, and even though they are married, they can’t reveal their love just yet, but it is perfect in its own way.
“I love you so much,” she says as he leans down to kiss her.
