    This is what it means to be a magical girl.

    Kyoko and Sayaka, a grief seed, and a lot of buried emotions.

    Summary

    "Am I a bad person?"

    “No, of course not,” Sayaka replies adamantly. “Seriously, what’s gotten into you?”

    “Sayaka,” Kyoko whispers shakily. Panic is starting to taint her expression. “My memories . . . they haven’t been lining up.”

    “Oh,” Sayaka breathes.

    “Have I—” The other girl swallows. “Have I ever tried to kill you?”

    or;

    what if Kyoko's "I had a sickening dream" realization in Rebellion had occurred earlier on?

    Summary

    "Kyoko is attracted to Sayaka, but doesn't realize what she's feeling. She complains to anyone who will listen about how Sayaka's magical girl outfit is stupid because it keeps distracting Kyoko in battle for no reason, and her laugh is so annoying - why else would it drown out everything else, always the only thing Kyoko can hear, even from across the room? And her dumb eyes are so blue, and her hair is so cute, it's not fair." All Kyoko wants to do is stop being distracted by Sayaka Miki. All Homura wants to do is finish her damn homework.

    Summary

    “I’ve, um, been dreaming.” She closes her eyes because it’s easier to ignore Mami and Homura’s stares. “In, in my dream I’m still in bed, but I-I’m not alone, Sayaka’s next to me but she’s not breathing, she’s—”

    She’s pale and cold and pretty in the same way the stained glass windows of Kyoko’s father’s church are pretty and she’s lying so still she can’t be anything but dead. But in her dream Kyoko still curls around her, soul gem in hand, keeping her warm, keeping her safe—

    “—she’s dead, I didn’t even know her that well and she’s dead and in my dream I’m so, I’m scared that there’s nothing I can do.” She opens her eyes. “But there really is nothing I can do. She’s already gone, and we left her there.” She stares hard at her hands. “We weren’t really even friends.”

    Summary

    At fourteen, she told her they were going to become the biggest authors the world will ever know. At sixteen, she told her they were going to own eight cats and three Shiba Inus and take her to see the West Coast. At eighteen, she would have told her they were going to get an apartment in Akihabara after they’d graduated and work their way up a publishing house. Kyomoto would have asked, with the eight cats and three Shiba Inus, all in one place? And she would have laughed, and told her yes, forever, yes, even when the whole of Japan and the rest of the world didn’t know the word for it yet. Even when they both didn’t.
