Title: The Love That Rose From The Ashes
Author: royalbk
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Pairing: Hikaru x Lantis
Spoilers: Anime-verse
Notes: I chose only the anime version as I felt that:
a) despite the pretty manga-art, CLAMP gave these two no justice
b) the manga is so ambiguous that I'm still lost on why some things happened the way they did. Srsly now.
c) Hikaru and Lantis together got a lot of spotlight in the second season of the anime and many important, only-anime events and characters led to their development as a couple.
d) I do not understand CLAMP generally...xDD
e) ANIME AAAAAAAAL THE WAY! ♥

...*cough* I'm sorry it came out as a fanfiction, I could not be short. I wanted things to make sense even to those who hadn't seen the MKR. ^^;

...though 13,000 words is probably pushing it. It's all interaction-y and graphic-y (going as far as animated gifs too. ♥)

P.S: This is part I. Part II is hot on this one's heels. ♥

( it was bewitchment at first sight - I kid you not, I have screencaps to prove it! xP )
