#fairytopia

Her wings shimmered in the shades of a peace rose, a creamy yellow blooming into a sweet pink, with edges that were softly scalloped like a petal. Their shape was fuller than those of other fairies, less like dragonfly wings and more like a butterfly’s wings. They reminded her of Hue’s: strong, capable, reliable, beautiful. Better in every way than the wings Laverna had offered her. They’re perfect, and they’re hers.

The moment Elina gains her wings, told in two parts from Elina's and Hue's perspectives.

“Princess, your light has dimmed,” Topaz says softly. “…Your wings have changed. I sensed something was wrong, but I didn’t know what.” There’s a half-packed rucksack on her bed, which she pushes aside to let Catania sit. “Laverna destroyed Shimmervale.” Catania’s voice is quiet, hollowed out. She sinks down onto the mattress, clutching a flower bud like a child’s toy puffball.

An AU that settles some of the discrepancies (but raises many others) between the Fairytopia and Mariposa movies by setting the events of "Mariposa and the Fairy Princess" before the first "Fairytopia" movie. There are some juicy spoilers in the tags.
