Title: What You See
Fandom: Fire Emblem Fates
Challenge/Prompt: Drabblesoup - the mirror lies
AO3 Link: here
***
It only takes a couple of years for Nyx to start avoiding mirrors. What would be the point, when time passes and her reflection only gets further from the truth?
There’s another reason, too, one she doesn’t tell anyone: she doesn’t remember what her parents looked like. Not really. That memory, like so many others, has been distorted by time. But her adult self—the one that only exists inside her head—does look like them, in a thousand little ways.
So Nyx avoids mirrors, for fear what she sees will drive off the closest thing she has to remembering.
