Summary
He wasn't a Butcher.
That first immortal back in '87, he could have been, maybe if his life was just a little worse, maybe if he'd grown up with more of a bite, maybe if he had the Teeth for it.
But he wasn't a Butcher.
Instead he was a Guardian and that... that made all the difference.
Eleven heroes carried that name, the torch passed one after the other, sometimes it was an accident, sometimes it was intentional, in Taylor's case, it was out of obligation.
But becoming the Thirteenth Guardian wasn't what she expected and housed in a new mind, their wills made their own, the former heroes that made up that great symbol start to realize that maybe those little accidents weren't accidents at all.
(For those that don't care for vagueness: Hero!Butcher fic, now with significantly less mind control) (Think QCIC but the author has more respect for herself)
