The winner of last weeks drabble event has given us permission to post their drabble!

Last weeks prompt was: "I was there when [...]."

The winner is on Ao3 as MikadoPlatypus, so if you like the drabble and want to read more from them, go check them out!

Over the years the story has become myth, twisted and condensed, first whispered, then openly told, then joked about on liquor-stained breath. 

Reputation only lasts so long, after all. 

Once, no one would have dared to tell it to him, first out of sympathy, then out of fear he likes to think of as respect. 

Now, all of that is gone. 

The names have slipped from the story, and with it, any reprieve for him. 

'I was there!' he wants to snap. 'I was there when my father slipped, when a single mistake brought decades down onto him, when he bled out in my arms.' 

But he doesn't. 

His name isn't connected to the story anymore. 

Free. Unbound. 

He doesn't want to shackle it down again. 

So he drains his drink and swallows the bile in his throat down with it. 

He can't bring himself to laugh. 

The greatest of his generation. Felled by dumb luck. Guess even the best of you bleed when they're cut.

The grin has too many teeth, shark-like, predatory, and it's meant to be a threat, he knows.

Frankly, the blade twirling in grubby fingers is overkill. 

He's not stupid. 

He's just not scared.

FYI:

For the purpose of avoiding any fandom bias in the vote for the winner, all names that would give away the fandom have to be avoided or replaced with single letters (example: Chara A, Chara B), so all weekly drabbles are more or less fandom blind.

Clif (Sir Clifford Cliffhanger) is our server mascot - you can see him in our pfp and serverlogo! Today, Clif will tell you about:

What is the FanFiction Library?

Have you ever felt this need to read a good fanfic - but found yourself having to find one that meets your taste and mood first? Could you use some recommendations, or would you love to share your favorite (or your own) works with others?

Our server is dedicated to recommending fanfiction!

Like a library collects books, we collect fanfic recs.

Any member can share the link to a fanfic they enjoyed in one of our ⬦ffrec (fanficrecommendation) channels so that other members of the fandom can find the work and read it as well!
