Fic: Terminus
Title: Terminus
Fandom: Friendsim, Homestuck
Major Characters/Pairings: Mallek
Wordcount: 100
Rating: PG
POV: Second person
Summary: In orbit above the Empire’s next target, Mallek makes his choice.
Notes: It’s not at all obvious, but this is set in a universe where the Homestuck trolls are gods, and Mallek is tapping into divine inspiration from Sollux, i.e., the doomgod of rebellious coders.
There is a state you inhabit sometimes, late in the day and poised between sleep-blurred lack of sopor and clarity, when the code comes together as if it already exists somewhere outside yourself and needs only to be transcribed. Your claws dance over the keyboard, and whether the exploit taking form is yours or has been written for you, these things you know: the sabotage will have its cost. You will not escape it.
The invasion fleet assembles above a new, ripe world. Your doom or another’s, there will be an ending.
So let it be the ending you choose.
