Title: Will Not Forget
Prompt: 'After the wedding(s)', by amazon_syren
Fandom: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Pairing: Helena/Hermia
Count de Worde: 100
Rating: PG
Notes: If I had room and a proper prompt, I'd like to write about additional love potion mix-ups in the woods. I'm sure a lot of people have.


Just a dream, they'd been told, by the dream; but Helena refuses to surrender her confused strings of memory. She draws them on tablets, which she hides among her make-up and jewelry, to remember.

It's hard: her current love overwhelms memories of other passions. She's loved Demetrius always, as she's loved and envied and desired the lovely Hermia.

She winces at a sudden headache. It tries to make her forget. She loves her husband, but will not forget old loves, however long they lasted.

She traces with regret the depiction of her oldest love, drawn crudely on a wax tablet.
