Morgana, Called le Fey

Author: [livejournal.com profile] angelqueen04
Title: Morgana, Called le Fey
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): N/a, gen
Summary: She is Morgana, increasingly called le Fey.
Warnings: N/a
Word Count: 102
Prompt: skin
Author's Notes:



She runs her fingers along her skin, weathered and dry from cruel weather and hard work (or is it hard weather and cruel work?). There are no potions, no ointments to restore it to what it once was - soft, smooth, healthy.

Her only mirror is the water in the bucket, but she still sees what she has become - tangled hair, jittery twitches, fierce eyes. She is far from what Uther had made her, that pampered, spoiled girl-woman.

She is Morgana, increasingly called le Fey. There is little hint of who she was left on her skin.

She stands alone against the wind.

Intense. I love how you've chronicled her change through her skin.

Wow!

Morgana notices her change through her skin. Wonderfully done, although a bit sad.

This was brilliant. Bitter and harsh out there on one's own, the pariah. Really great x

I love this so, so much, especially the contrast to what she once was and hw she has to brings Uther into it. He seems to be the driving force behind all her actions still. Powerful and brilliant. I also adore the way you introduced the nickname she's famous for. <3

I loved how she sees herself now. Alone indeed.
