    Summary

    I don’t think; I react. There’s an incredibly loud bang, far louder than I ever imagined, and I watch as if from outside myself as the man who was in front of me crumples to the floor. I see red spreading across his chest, and I hear gasps from the others. I don’t think they believed I would do it. I didn’t think I would do it either.

    Ryland Grace's attempt to flee from his destiny goes differently, allowing him to escape. Who can he turn to but his long-lost older brother?

    This was originally supposed to be a one-shot for Whumpay 2026, Day 17 (Self-Defence killing/“Does it ever get easier”) but it just kept going and has instead become this!
