Disclaimers 'n' crap: Haihai peeps! This is part of the Crystal Odes collection where I write quick poems about people in the Alliance. Of course, this is mainly focused on characters who already exist, so you should recognize just about everyone. This is my first foray into the world of Liberty's Kids fics (although I have written a ton of drabbles, or whatever those little snippets are called, with Lafayette in them before). I don't own Lafayette or any other Liberty's Kids characters. Everything else (especially Pastel) is MINE. Enjoy.
An Ode to Lafayette
My God, how long ago was it that you first met Henri?
200 plus in real-time, but it was 'bout 3 for me.
You befriended Franklin's kids, Henri, Sarah, James.
You're like a father to Henri; you've both got damn long names.
You're an every-person's man, you love us all a bunch.
You can hold a positive face, even with crappy lunch.
You're everyone's friend, a trusting Frenchman, our shoulder to cry on.
You fought in two Revolutions but those days are long gone.
A troubled life you live now, with a dark side named Pastel.
He is out to rape me, but just how, he will not tell.
Yes, we love you, Lafayette. You're a Crystal at heart.
Washington and I agree, we can't be torn apart.
Pastel. Okay, if any of you have ever read my Last of the Cliffhangers Unit fic, you should be relatively familiar with him by now. If not, READ THE FIC! I'm also planning on doing a fic that explains his past a bit more. Let me put it this way: if you're grieving the loss of a father figure and a strange shadow comes out and starts talking to you without a voice, you're in trouble.
