So. I'm having a lot of fun over at fic_promptly at dreamwidth and have written a couple of ficlets. :) Problem is, I don't want to spam the section with one-shots so I'll be putting any ficlets I write here. They aren't connected with each other in any way, but I do have to say that I'm writing a couple of things I don't normally do (very crack-ish, in some cases), so please make sure to read the 'Contains' part of the header.
Summary: M-21 muses.
Contains glossed over death.
Written for the prompt, 'M-21, pleasant memories'.
Pleasant Memories
By Dark Ice Dragon
Sometimes, it's hard for M-21 to realise just how different his life used to be when he looks back. He's no longer at the beck and call of the whims of scientists, and when he is told to do something by Frankenstein, it's to look after the children, or to tidy the house, not kill the families the Union want silenced, or clean up any information that had been carelessly left behind.
It's strange, but M-21's life isn't actually that different from how it used to be. He spends a lot of time in a lab, works in a uniform, and in a general sense, is told what to do. Yet, he feels so much better and freer than he ever has in his life. His spare time is spent playing games with the children, or exploring the city with Takio and Tao, or bickering with Regis. He never would have thought he could have a life like this when he had been with the Union. That he is allowed to live like this.
There's one thing that definitely hasn't changed though: he had comrades then, and he has comrades now. This time, he will do everything in his power to make sure they don't die in front of him.
