Still on the Quest

gacked from janeturenne


1. Write down the names of 10 characters.

2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less (a limitation I cheerfully ignored, although I did try to keep them short) for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. DO NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

( This would have been easier if I'd chosen characters from only one fandom )

Ricochet

There are times when I almost awaken from this madness, when my brother's blood cries in the darkest part of night for vengeance instead of the fragile gimcrackery which passes for justice in this half-broken land.

But the pledge I made my blood-brother is enough to lull me back into sleep. A hundred promises to his people might be broken, but never mine to him. "Law over lynching," he said to me, "Justice for all," as he forged six silver bullets. I shall never take a life with one, lest his dream shatter.

Our dreams are better than we are.
