I wanted to re-watch Fate/Zero. So I stopped by Tvtropes and read their register. Obviously.

I learned something new and quite interesting.

I am Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, Fifth King of Uruk and the one true King of the world. I have in all my adventures and all my years found only two people worthy to stand beside me as equals, two people whom I would confer with, my mother and Enkidu, my brother in all but blood.

Enkidu... You shattered my world, Brother. You showed me I was not alone, you showed me why my ways had been wrong, you showed me how to treasure the land outside Uruk, I loved you better than any dreams could have predicted.

"Like a man loves a woman" indeed...

Then, as a consequence of my own arrogance, you were stricken with a terrible illness, to die weak. Your life slowly draining away, you became a different man, bitter and short-tempered. You both cursed and forgave the whore that had brought you to civilization (to me) on your deathbed, surrounded though you were by people who grieved for you. Oh, Brother...

I have found you again.

Well, no, not really. She is merely a lot like you. I see you in her every time I look at her, I hear your voice every time she talks. I see you in the grace of her movements, in the fierceness of her attacks, in the clever mind working behind beautiful eyes, in the brazen manner she refuses me, in the pride and confidence that fills her voice...

She reminds me of the man you made me want to be, the man you made me become. She makes me want to be like that again, a King who remembers the cares of his subjects...

And a man who believed in love.

"Like a man loves a woman" indeed...

That is the main difference between you. She is much like you, only she has breasts.

Huh.

I could sleep with the person I loved best in the form of a beautiful woman? Now, that's an interesting thought. Seductive, even.

*Off-screen*

Enkidu: *Laughing his arse off* Like me but with breasts?! I'd be mad if you didn't sleep with her!

Sabre: *Shaking with fury* You-! I'm gonna Excalibur your bloody arse into the next bloody millennium!

I need to reclassify this. It's officially a dump for one-shots and drabbles. Should I change the title? Open for suggestions if yes. Also, need to reread Gil's epic... It's not that long, anyway.

Please review and tell me what you liked/disliked.
