"The Grey in the Rainbow" by liouchan
“Who goes there?" This time, Naia was certain she had heard someone. They always lurked in the corner of her lowest pool, hiding in the sparkling mist, hoping to scoop up some of the Fountain's precious water. Even on such a dismal day as this one, when the Fountain's titular rainbow was nowhere in sight. Naia let herself sink back into the water until only her eyes peeked out. Her hair floated limply around her head. In the dim light cast by the grey sky, she could easily have been mistaken for an old bag floating around the Pool. She fidgeted and twisted her tail in the water, resisting the urge to scratch her scales. Kids or tourists creeping around her Fountain in hopes of a free colour change was the last thing she needed on the day of her molt. One might think that a Water faerie would be having the time of her life in the pouring rain, but the omnipresent moisture only enhanced Naia's perceptions and worsened her migraine. She was in no mood for nonsense. Anyone who managed to slip into the Fountain would get catapulted out without ceremony.
