comment_ficHey Everyone! It's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
langstonlover again. And today's theme will be Minor Characters.Anything goes as long as it has something to do with a character that usually doesn't get much love. As always though here are the rules.
*No more than five prompts in a row.
*No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
*No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing. Use a spoiler cut as needed.
*If you know the character's full name, use it. Also, give the fandom's complete name, too.
*If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.
There's also a new rule now: if something in the fill could be a trigger, please have a note to warn for it.
Prompts should be formatted: Fandom, Character/Character, Prompt
My examples...
Leverage, Kaylin/Eliot, Kaylin tracks Eliot down again long after their first meeting in Nashville
Lonesome Dove, Jasper Fant, His bad temper gets him into a lot of trouble
Heathers, Kurt/Ram, "I love you, you idiot."
Have fun!!! :D

Lisa didn't think about ethics much. Right and wrong were highly subjective concepts, and she always thought that if either she or Len did something then it meant it was the right thing to do.
When she was a kid, the right thing to do was let Len protect her from their father. After Len left, the right thing to do was endure the abuse herself. She resented her brother for a while after being left alone, because hating someone who was far away made it easier to pretend the problem wasn't close to her.
Once she finally moved out as well, the right thing to do became holding onto her childhood dream of becoming a figure skater. Working three underpaid jobs to afford a shoddy apartment and skating lessons didn't leave much time to waste on detesting someone who wasn't part of her life anymore, but it left enough time to realize how much she missed her brother.
Things weren't stellar in that period, but Lisa was enjoying herself. It didn't take long for her to start winning competitions left and right, the money prizes making it possible for her to afford a personal coach. A very skilled and handsome personal coach that made it easy to fall in love with him. For the first time in her life, she felt like she had found some sort of balance.
It was one chilly evening after an extenuating training session, sitting in her kitchen watching the news on TV, that Lisa found herself thinking about what was right and what was wrong for the first time in a long while. Len was on the screen, the news reporter droning on about a robbery her brother had committed before successfully escaping.
From that day, her world started slowly tilting on its axis. She wanted nothing more than to be reunited with her brother, and she gradually gave up everything while desperately trying to find him. In the end, it was Len who found her, appearing in her living room in the middle of the night and looking annoyed.
"Hello, sis. You missed two skating competitions in a row, so I came to check on you."
Maybe it was just was an impulsive desire for a life change, or maybe it was a little sister's yearning to be like her big brother, but once Len was back in her life, Lisa didn't hesitate a second to give up everything and follow him.

no subject
Date: 2015-05-13 08:13 pm (UTC)Ever since he was a kid Seeley'd been pulling him out of trouble, with teachers and girls and boys that tried to take him on.
When he got older it was the alcohol - well, there were a lot of other things, but the alcohol was responsible for most of them - and he was in a near constant state of being kicked out or pulled over because he never could resist a fight, not now that he was older and he could hit back.
He's got a lotta vices, and some of them he shares with his old man. Mostly it's the drink, though he's since kicked the habit, the wanting of it is never gone. It's there in his ear, whispering in the most seductive voice he's ever heard, telling him how it would make things just a little bit easier. From feeling like a failure to stupid arguments with Padme to stressing about money to the times he runs into assholes on the street - have a drink and it'll all be just a little bit better, come on now, what's the harm?
He hasn't succumbed to the voice yet, but he's tempted for a second every goddamn day.
And there's other things too. The anger that'd gotten him on so many teacher's shit lists, that made so many cops pin him to their cars, bubbles beneath his skin like a volcano about to blow. He wonders sometimes, if his old man heard a whispering voice like that, saying it would be just a bit easier if he could just get his kids to shut up and behave, if his wife would just have dinner ready when he asked, because he'd worked all fuckin' day and he'd served his country and he deserved respect -
But Jared never lets his anger out like that, and if he ever does, if he ever hurt Padme or the kids they might have some day like that then he'd jump off the nearest bridge, because he's seen what that does to a family and he will never, ever, let that happen to his family again.
Jared Booth has fucked up a lot in his life. He knows that if it weren't for him, Seeley'd probably be richer and higher up in the FBI, or somewhere else with a dream job. But Seeley had been protecting him for as long as Jared could remember, and he knew it wasn't something that was likely to change.
That had been Seeley's first instinct when they were kids. Get between dad and mom. Get between dad and Jared. Take the pain, make their old man so pissed at him he'd give Seeley everything he got and forget about his wife and other son. Then he got old enough to start hitting back, and could keep dad off their backs with his size (he blew up like the goddamn Hulk in high school between hockey and weight lifting) or a few quick hits of his own, but that was it. Just protection. Keeping him backed off, taking the bruises and cracked ribs when that wasn't enough. That was just like Seeley - to take someone's pain and his own and shoulder it and come out stronger on the other side.
Jared was different.
There were days that he honestly thought his dad might kill them all, especially after his mom took her trip down the stairs. Then she was gone, and it was just him and Seel, and Jared thought for sure that one of these days his dad would hit his limit and kill one of them.
And that - that was something else he had in common with his old man. Because Seeley was all about protection, about taking the pain and backing them off, and that's part of what makes him a hero, and Jared...
He'd kill for Seeley. And he's not sure what that makes him.

Date: 2015-05-14 01:01 am (UTC)---
Kensuke is eating lunch with Touji in the school yard when NERV Intelligence comes to recruit him.
"While there are other children with more potential," one of the agents say, sliding a contract across the picnic table. "We need a pilot that's... willing."
The agents are uniformly imposing and stoic, the tone of their voices flat and unchanging. They're so different from the cheerful Major Katsuragi, from Touji who leans in closer, frowning over the contract that Kensuke still can't believe is in his hands.
"O-oi, are you sure this a good idea? I mean, you remember what it was like when we were in that thing with Shinji, right?"
Kensuke remembers. It was terrifying, to gamble with their lives like that. The angel in front of them, trying to destroy them, and the only thing standing in its way was the Evangelion. Shinji's screams as he held back the invading alien still echoed in his ears, but so did the excited pounding of his heart.
"This is what I always wanted! I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't do this," Kensuke says smiling, signing the contract with a flourish. With the fate of the world at stake, NERV could ignore a lot of laws in the name of saving it, including parental consent.
Touji grumbles something that Kensuke ignores, because now he could fight evil angels to protect people, to protect the world and everything in it. He could help his friend Shinji, the headstrong Soryu, the quiet Ayanami. He's going to be a cool hero, be everything he ever dreamed he'd be.
Kensuke grins at Touji, at the agent tucking the contract in his suit, because, finally, he is a pilot.
----
I'm a pilot, Kensuke thinks as the angel fuses with his new Evangelion. He can feel it infecting the robot, like someone trying to wear his skin while he was still in it. Unit 03 lurches forward as Kensuke screams his pain, his anger, his grief. He probably sounds like Shinji did back then.
Someone is trying to talk to him through the intercom, but he can't hear it over himself. Unit 03 keeps moving, the angel keeps hurting him, and he keeps smashing the eject button with no result.
There's another button to escape, Kensuke recalls blearily. It's there in the operations manual that he spent his nights pouring over, so thrilled with his new role in life. He's such an idiot.
I don't want to die, Kensuke thinks, but it's useless. More than anything else, he wants the pain to stop. It's agonizing to reach for the new button, pry off the cover on it. As he flips the suicide switch, he remembers Touji's muttered words when he signed up to be the Fourth Child.
"The rest of your life will be a lot longer if you don't."
The self-destruct sequence doesn't start. Nothing happens. Kensuke's screams are almost sobs, tears dissipating in the LCL, until something mercifully crushes him into darkness.
----
When Touji vists Kensuke-sans-leg in the hospital, he doesn't say I told you so.
"I'm not a hero," Kensuke says to him instead. "Why... why did I think being a pilot would be fun? I'm so goddamn stupid."
Touji doesn't answer, just grips his shoulder in support, his mouth drawn into a tight frown. Kensuke leans back against the pillows and looks up at the unfamiliar ceiling. He feels sick.
