The Fallen and the Risen, The Fallen and the Snow.
Happy spring! Romanian March 1st special!! (Mărțișor)
They're based on one of the Romanian legends about the origin of the Mărțișor, a red and white string that people gift one another on March 1st. :D
The legends goes that a village had to die in a fight to 'free' the sun (that had been locked up during winter) and bring it back for the village crops, however, despite being succesful, he also bled out laying in the snow after, leaving his crimson red blood on the pearly white snow - and that's where the colors come from!
There's also a version saying that the white symbolizes a snowdrop that started growing from his puddle of blood, therefore 'The Fallen (soldier from the village) and the Risen (crops/flower)'.
And then I proceeded to turn it into doomed yuri
