help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever
It would appear my spellchecker has decided it doesn't want to work anymore. How quaint.
title: Endings
fandom: Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
pairing: none beyond vague mentions of Sakura and Syaoran's canon-ness
words: 318
spoilers: nothing specific, but vague mentions of recent manga chapters (so let's say up to the end of Acid Tokyo - ch 135). Also, spoilers for the end of the second series of Magic Knight Rayearth.
A/N: This idea has been playing in the back of my head for a very, very long time.
It doesn't end prettily. It ends with pain, and the days leading up to it are full of sadness and futility. There is nothing left of Big Kitty and Big Puppy or Little Kitty and Little Puppy after the country of acid rain that called itself Tokyo. There are only Fai and Kurogane, Sakura and a new boy with the face of Syaoran. The light-heartedness of earlier days is longed for often, but never spoken of.
Then the journey is over and Mokona, left all alone, wonders if things could have been different.
Yuuko would say no and call it hitsuzen, the path that chooses the walker, but Mokona doesn't believe that's fair. Mokona doesn't think its friends should have been destined to suffer no matter how hard they fought, so it makes a wish. It accepts Yuuko's price and gives up the only thing other than its memories that's truly important: the earring that connects it to the black Mokona and all the power that goes with it.
In return, Mokona receives a tiny world, no more than an island, and it names this country "Cephiro." This is Mokona's country, governed the way it decides.
Cephiro will be different from all of the other places Mokona has been. The strongest desire - the strongest will - is the thing that carves out destiny. Nothing is prewritten and everything is in the hands of the inhabitants. It will be a world where Fai could have left his past behind and Kurogane could have truly been strong. A world where Sakura's love could have been enough to recover the heart of Syaoran and the boy with his face could have moved out of his predecessor's shadow.
Cephiro will be a world where they all could have found their own happiness as long as they wanted it badly enough, and Mokona thinks that maybe this world will be beautiful.
