February 1 Prompt: any, any, reverse trope (for example: lovers to friends, riches to rags, there were only…10 beds), written for Anne of Green Gables.
(See the end of the work for notes.)
“Carrots!”
Poor Diana had warned Anne that Gilbert Blythe was the worst of her tormentors, but the actual words were crueler even than she had imagined possible.
“I wouldn’t announce my ignorance to the whole world if I couldn’t tell the difference between a root and a peach,” she proclaimed to the school at large while turning her own dull charcoal braid away from the hateful boy and devising new odes to her friend’s more vivid locks.
I struggled with this one, and I'm not sure the final result is exactly what the prompt called for, but the idea of Anne Shirley not having red hair just felt too good to pass up (and once I thought of it, I was shocked #GingerFlip was not a fandom trope).
