Midnight Extras

Summary:

A collection of extra pieces and snippets directly relating to the story Midnight Messages and written at the same time as the original run of that story.

Currently discontinued. No plans to add more, but no definite end to it. Consider it on hiatus.

Recommended you read before continuing to Midnight Revelations

Notes:

These extras are all things I assumed readers knew when I began Midnight Revelations. I'd recommend reading them, as they will make clear at least one or two points found within that story, and there are no spoilers in them.

Just a quick heads up when reading these. They will vary a good deal. Some of these will be short text logs, barely a few hundred words. Others might be longer.

Another important note. They are not posted in chronological order. I will note when the scene takes place in the notes before each chapter, so look for that or it might get confusing.

That is all.

Chapter 1: Before

Summary:

Amélie and Lena discuss their lives before... well, just before, I suppose.

Notes:

Well guys, here's the first of those snippets. This is just a little text convo that I didn't end up adding to the main story because... I don't know, I just ended up not adding it. But I figured I'd post it here.

Chronologically it takes place when Amélie is still in Talon.

Chapter Text

Hey Amé

Yes?

Do you remember what you were like?

Before all of this

…

That is a difficult question

Sorry

I know it was a bit presumptuous

It’s alright if it’s not something you’re ok with discussing right now

Or ever

Thank you for the offer

But I think that I can answer

Where else would I talk about this than here with you?

Just give me a minute to collect my thoughts

Yeah

Sure thing

Take as much time as you need

…

I think I was...

How do I phrase this?

Softer?

My life before

What I remember

Had less of an edge

I wasn’t a passive woman

You didn’t stay in the spotlight very long unless you were willing to reach out and take it

What did you do?

I was a dancer

Ballet

You must’ve been beautiful

I think…

I think I was

Gérard used to bring me flowers

Like clockwork

He’d be there with a bouquet after every single show

And even when I’d just left a stage ringing with the applause of thousands

That was when I really felt proud

Felt beautiful

Felt loved

…

I did not know I still had those memories

Do you wish that you could forget?

You seem to be asking many hard questions tonight chérie

Sorry

It's fine

You are well aware that I have no problem telling you when you have crossed a line

Yeah

But I just want to be sure

I want to know that you’re ok

Thank you

That truly means a lot to me

And no

I lost so much of my mind

I still feel the missing pieces like an ever present ache

I would never voluntarily lose a piece of myself like that

For better or worse

I think I can understand that

At least a bit

Or I’m trying to

Again thank you

That’s more than I could ask for

I’ve got one more question

If you’re alright with it

As you would say

Shoot

:)

Have you danced since?

No

Would you?

...

I do not know

For me it is an almost intimate experience

I don’t know if I could now that I am like this

After what they did

When we fight I can sorta see the dancer in you

Some of your movements are just so graceful

 

For what it’s worth

I think you’d be beautiful

 

Thank you chérie
