Hero

What defines a hero? Great feats? Saving the world on a daily basis? Or is it more simple than that?Thancred has never considered himself a hero, far from it in fact. He was just a man trying to protect the woman he loved and would do what he felt was necessary to keep her safe, even if it caused him much pain and suffering, even if it cost him her.A short one shot that came from an idea that popped into my head while attempting to write a chapter for Twist of Fate and is all angst. It revolves around a HC of mine and is from Thancred’s perspective while he was possessed by Lahabrea. This picks up at the tail end of his conversation with Alex.Will I ever write the full version of their heartbreaking conversation from both their perspectives? It’s doubtful unless I really feel the need to put myself and them through a lot of pain. Some things are better left buried in the past as “some wounds never heal.” Which is true for both Alex and Thancred.
