Challenge #79 - Mirror
Title: Reassurance
Fandom: Sports Night
Pairing: Dana/Natalie (and a bit of Dana/Gordon)
Rating: G
Word count: 100
A/N: Very AU... I won't explain it all, but the relevant thing is, in this universe Gordon did not break off the engagement with Dana.
"Does my hair look okay?" Dana asked for the twentieth time, frowning at her reflection in the mirror.
Natalie sat on the edge of Dana's bed, kicking her foot idly. "It looks fine."
"Are you sure?" Dana turned to Natalie, with that uncertain look she got anywhere outside the office. "Seriously, if Gordon doesn't like my hair..."
"He'll like it."
"Natalie, it's my wedding-"
"Dana?" Natalie hopped up and put her hands on Dana's shoulders. "Your hair looks fine."
Dana smiled, while Natalie's heart cracked just a little more - she couldn't point out Dana was making a mistake.
Title: Reflection
Fandom: RENT
Pairing: April/Mimi
Rating: PG
Word count: 100
A/N: AU - Roger died, April didn't.
Mimi scares her sometimes - scared for her, not of her... She's so young, so sure of herself, so certain of her own immortality and how can she be, she should know better, with the virus and the drugs. She's so brave, throwing herself into life and living it when April can barely drag herself out of her fear of dying. She's so quick to smile, so quick to laugh. Looking at her is like looking into a mirror and seeing a younger April, and that scares her most - April knows where that gets you.
