Prompt: Barbie in the Nutcracker, Clara/Eric, dancing at midnight
Original Prompt | Original Fill
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
There were nights even now that Clara would jerk awake, the Mouse King's laughter echoing in her ears. For a moment she would be back there, fading uncontrollably as her Nutcracker--her Prince Eric--desperately reached towards her.
Clara hated to disturb Eric's sleep, but he never said a word about it, just pulled her into his arms and out of bed as he led her in a midnight waltz to music only they could hear.
