"Let Him Live"

Based on a prompt: The hero begging the villain to kill him.

She glared at him as he kneeled before her. 'Not so much of a hero now, huh?' She thought in triumph, a sneer threatening to overtake her face. The hero was silent in his despair, eyes tearing up, lips pursed tightly as if to lock away his desperate pleas before they come tumbling out. 

Twirling the dagger around her finger, she leaned down as she used the tip of it tilt his chin up to look at her, ignoring the blood that flowed down his neck. ‘We bleed the same after all.’ He twisted his head trying to hide his face from her, cutting his neck even more, drawing so much blood that it started to run down her arms, coating it like a bloody glove. The sight of it caused her to grin but it dropped abruptly when she caught a glimpse of his face; eyes glittering but no fear present in them, lips pursed but in a desperate attempt to fight a satisfied smile, even through the pain.

“You want to-”

“Please kill me before they arrive here!” The hero interrupted her, confirming her suspicions. He wanted to die. Was desperate to by the look on his face.

“No” She uttered, pulling away her dagger before it could do anymore damage. The hero looked crestfallen at her rejection, smile stiffening, shoulders slumping down as if all the weight of the world has been placed there. ‘It already is maybe that’s why-’

“Please, you have to kill me!” He yelled in anguish. “I can’t take it anymore. Death is all around me. Of the far too young children who didn’t even have a chance grow up, of the old who died not of illness but because I thought other people had more to live for. The good that followed me, hoping I might change the world for better only for me to make it far worse. The bad that died fighting me because they thought it was right.”

Voice cracking at the last word, he slumped down in a position that looked painful, his hands tied behind him with rope that bound him to his legs as he was kicked down to his knees. Bruises already forming along his body, the darkest one blooming across his nose.

‘Maybe I punched him so hard he lost his damn mind. Punching him again would fix it, right?’ It was an enticing thought but she willed it away before it could come to fruition. The hero sighed, and looked up at her like she was the solution to all his problems.

“I bring death to those around me, doesn’t matter who they are, good or bad, old or young, guilty or innocent. So, kill me before it’s too late, before even you die.” ‘Why did he say it like that, like he cared whether I died or not?’

“I can’t be the one who plays God, deciding who lives or dies.”

“So, why are you taking that same decision that now?” Her words pierced through him like an arrow, aimed right at his heart, he tensed up as though in pain, clutching at his chest as if to stop himself from bleeding out.

She glared at him disgusted, ‘Coward! Asking me to kill him because I’m a villain!? He wants to be known as a hero who died in dignity, fighting in a battle, while I’m going to be the villain who killed the world’s beloved hero. I should let him live to suffer more. If he's so eager to die, he can kill himself.’

“I’ll make sure you don’t die then; I’ll even give you a map of this place so you can avoid all the traps! Aren’t I the nicest villain ever?”

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

I love talking to kids about disability bc

1. they often just Get It, and

2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.

I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.

Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.

Question: What is the greatest magic of all? Answer: Friendship, right? [B]: The greatest magic of all is not friendship, it's chronomancy, the ability to control and warp time. If friendship were the greatest magic, look, it's a pet peeve of mine (...)

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

Edit: apparently they're also using people's usernames to try to make the spam seem more authentic, so if you get a guest comment from someone you recognise, it's likely not them.
