Fragments of Original and Fan Writings

Theme #19: Star Gazing (Uta no Prince-sama Fanfiction)

Man, I feel like I’m writing so much emo stuff.  But anyway, have an UtaPri drabble.  I’m happy with it.  I’ll probably post it on AO3 soon.

Summary:  Haruka loves STARISH, but they are getting further and further away.

Haruka loves STARISH. They shine with a light that just captivates her. More than anything she wants to watch and listen to them.

Each time one of them gets a new role or finishes a new song, he becomes even brighter.

Haruka is proud to watch them grow, but…

But, Haruka is in the same place as always and she feels like they’re leaving her behind.

She isn’t necessarily alone. Tsukimiya-sensei is always willing to offer an ear and a hug and Tomo-chan gives Haruka every spare moment she has.

They’re not mentors though. They’re friends. She envies the members of STARISH for having the opportunity to reject mentorship. Haruka has no one to push her to improve and no goal to strive towards.

Haruka wanted to compose for STARISH and now she does.

When she tries to express her slump, Tomo-chan and Sensei always remind her that everyone loves her and she shouldn’t worry.

How can she not worry when she is the only one not moving forward?

Tomo-chan and the others are so busy. All Haruka has to do is sit there and let the music flow through her.

She’s happy that the others love her songs. Yet… It’s always “Another great song” and never, “Wow, this is even better than usual.”

Even Saotome-san told her to win through numbers and not skill.

Is this as good as it gets?

A little short piece for Nanami pre-retreat. I feel bad for her. I was rewatching season 2 with a friend and she kept commenting how sad it was that Nanami had to do everything alone. It’s like, what’s the point of the Master Course for her?
