The Songs We'll Sing - Soul Eater AU
[’As a weapon, the most important decision you’ll ever make is choosing a meister.’]
[Penny didn't know how many times she'd heard that. Too many to count, for as long as she could remember. Certainly more than any half-remembered nursery rhymes or bedtime stories. Before any of that had come her preparation for this.]
[’A weapon’s first duty is to their meister.’]
[’The right partnership is the one that brings out the strongest in both members.’]
[’A weapon is always prepared to lay down their life for that of their meister.’]
[The choice felt like it had both been years in the future and come barreling out of nowhere; but now she was here, at the legendary DWMA, facing that choice and her first potential partner - Ruby Rose.]
[A chance meeting in their first days at the academy, weapon and meister literally running into each other in the halls, nothing like the fateful first meetings she'd read about.]
[And yet. Ruby called her a friend.]
Are you ready to start?
[Her heart skipped a nervous beat in the dimmed after-hours light of the combat classroom.]
[’A weapon must partner with whoever they synchronize best, without preference or ego.’]
[Chance meetings and friendship were one thing, but in terms of partnership they meant effectively nothing if a weapon and meister couldn't properly resonate.]
[Penny wanted this to work. Wanted it to be Ruby, the first person to call her ‘friend’. But there was only one way to be sure.]
