At the face of death, Xara learns how to forgive.

Follows the mcsm s3 timeline (of which there currently is none) but is not related to canon. This is a oneshot diverged from canon.

Also not that well written but ignore that

"Xara...i'm sorry." Romeo said, looking up at the other admin. It was the first time she's heard him apologize, actually apologize.

"...What?" She asked, eyes narowing, expression hardening. Why was he apologizing? Why now?

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for Fred. I'm sorry about the bedrock. I'm sorry about your--our people. I'm...sorry." He answered, looking down. He looked defeated, much like herself.

"I-i know it won't do anything, but I can't die without saying sorry. So..." He continued, now trembling. Tears were welling in his eyes. She couldn't remember the last time she'd seen him cry.

"..."

"I forgive you." Xara said, grabbing his hand, smiling. There was no point in dying while holding onto her resentment.
