{Happiness Is a Choice} Arthur Hastings x Reader
15 parts Ongoing MatureEverything had been so..perfect. So jolly...Until the effect of joy had stopped working for you.
With your memories finally getting back to you, and the cheerful smile adorning your face slipping, you had quickly been discovered and labeled as a downer. Those who you considered close friends chased you out of town, mad with the idea that someone would dare ruin their happy lives.
That had been maybe a couple weeks ago...
While it ached very much to think that you may never be able to get back home, it was best not to dwell on that sort of thing as you didn't want to end up like everyone else in the Garden District.
You adjusted as well as anyone that had just losted everything could and busied youself with the new task of survival, distracting yourself with scavenging and small tasks from the wastrels. This became the new normal for you..
Until a new face appeared in the Garden District, that is.
CAUTION: This story may cause flashbacks, small memory triggers, unbearable amounts of sadness, and the risk of becoming a downer. However, popping a joy should clear that right up!
