Why this must be read: I'm all about the dark post-miniseries fics (as I'm sure you've already figured out). And all about the Az. And when you combine them ... well, I'm all yours. As it happens, "To Light She Be Shown" is the best of both worlds, a dark look at the Az that was hinted at during the miniseries (remember the conversation with herself by the lake?) with a great dysfunctional Az/Zero component and a re-interpretation of the prophecy about the two princesses.
"Why are you here?" the princess asked, unpainted lips barely moving to form the question.
For all that she was nearly whispering, there was no tremor in her voice, no doubt in the dark eyes that watched him from the other side of the bars. Zero grinned crookedly at her in reply, not bothering to rise for the presence of royalty; he wasn't sure he could, and he didn't think she'd care, no matter which version of her was in charge that morning.
"I'm sure that's not nearly as interesting a story as why you're here, Sorceress," he replied, grin widening as she barely restrained a wince at the mention of her old title. Oh, yeah; there was still some spark left in the girl, no matter what her family said about her.
