Rating/Warnings: G – PG-13; some disturbing imagery in pt. 5
Summary: A series of drabbles outlining different thoughts of the five pilots on death, dying and the people they have killed.
Author's Notes: I wrote the different parts with a different pilot in mind for each part, and I've put down who I had in mind for each part at the very end; however, if you feel that a drabble fits another pilot better... well, it's really up to you to decide who is who! There isn't much set in stone here D
Disclaimer: I do not own GW, or any of the characters who inspired these drabbles.
All Hallow's Eve pt. 2
It struck me today that if I lit a candle for ever person I killed, I could cover a whole field with them. The candles, not the people I killed; though both could be true. I have killed a lot of people. I would light a candle for each of them—to remember. To let them know, if they're watching, I didn't forget them. I never will.
On this night of the year, people used to light bonfires to ward off spirits; I will light candles to remember them because I am not afraid of them.
Yes. I could light a candle for each person I killed and I would have enough tiny lights to cover a field; it would be a place where people could come after dark to stand in the light, look down to see the bloodstains on their hands, and know that it's all right.
The candles are lit tonight.
All is forgiven, and I sleep easy.
