at the end as at the start

Tucked under the petals of one of the few flowers that remains on this dying world, Purple finds a letter.It stands out. The flower stands tall in pink-petaled rebellion. The other woman must have breathed life into it when she set the planet ablaze. It doesn’t die when Purple touches it—once again betraying that it came from somewhere else. Somewhere familiar. Somewhere it could have gotten used to being treated delicately—so used to it that it trusted its caretakers enough to allow them to use it as a hiding place here at the end of all things.Purple extracts the emerald-tinted sheet of paper. Across the back of it, in elegant handwriting, are three simple words: Burn before reading.A sadistic smile dances across Purple’s face.There’s nothing she loves more than being right. or, a this is how you lose the time war au.

i wrote the first chapter of this in a daze yesterday. i had a single stroke of inspiration and i sat down at my laptop and the next thing i knew there were almost 2000 words in front of me and two hours had passed.anyway. shocked this hasn't been done yet. i feel like they were perfectly designed to fit into this story, right down to the general air of tragedy that follows them everywhere. i'm thrilled i get to be the one to finally put this together, though.i hope you enjoy!!!
