source fandom/original world: Mmmm ooh- my Courtship AU maybe?
character(s): Naomi and Kari
fairytale, folktale, or myth: Snow White and Rose Red
something interesting: (this can be anything) In my old neighborhood, we were besieged by pigeons. In my current one, it's crows. I'm... tentatively calling that an upgrade.
canon, au, crossover, or no preference: XD whatever works for you

'Two for mirth,' the rhyme says, and anyone who saw them play agreed-- Naomi with her hands full of crayons, Kari dancing around her, draw that cat, draw me, draw that petal on the snow, Naomi, it's so pretty.
(Save once. Even then, their hearts remained one - but one for sorrow shared by two is only twice the sorrow.)
Kari keeps counting. Three for a wedding and for Naomi's lace and laughter, standing tiptoes to waltz cheek-to-cheek with Mal. And there are three - Naomi, her new husband, and Kari still dancing. Still trying not to count, because there are different ways the rhyme can go.
There are other fairytales. She'll rewrite three into one Naomi loves - and not a single crow. She will be Rose Red watching Snow White meet her prince at last.
(Mal is not, has not been a bear - of any sort. But some things can be ignored for peace of mind. She hopes.)
She's never saved Maluxan - not from the snow, not from herself. Maybe a happily-ever-after is close enough.
It isn't.
Three for a ( ... )
