Brutus and Caesar share a soft moment. A mixed media drawing.

Created for Battle Cry: A Military Fiction Flash Exchange.

Notes:

For EdosianOrchids901. I was delighted by all your soft prompts. With so much of Brutus and Caesar’s screen time together spent in tension, it was lovely to picture a happier moment between them, perhaps from a less complicated time.

Open to imagining whatever relationship dynamic you prefer between them. 💙

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

This was my first time participating in a flash exchange. The timeline was exhilarating, if not a bit daunting! 😅🤪
