Dead Boy Detectives Victor AU: Final Chapter!
And here we have it: the finale. We're killing some monsters, getting some characters together, and getting engaged. With a lot of fire and devouring metaphors the whole time. You know, the usual!
(ALSO MY GIRL NIKO SASAKI IS FINALLY HERE!)
"Well, I think it's time to say fuck it. Someone needs to get justice for all the dead little children,ā Crystal insists, her eyes blazing with righteous indignation, because Edwin is a knife in the same way that Crystal is a knife, and they have had to break their bodies to save the people they care about, and while they had their bodies sold to suit the Presidentās needs there will always be a part of them that is theirs, sharp and spiked and District-hungry. "We kill EstherĀ andĀ the President, and do whatever it takes."
Charles whistles. āSheās right, you know?" He looks between Monty and Edwin. "Esther Finch has to die."
Monty doesn't shake his head. He just sets his jaw.
And no one is joking anymore. There isn't even a pretense at it. The fire in Charlesā eyes is about to burn Esther to the goddamn ground for everything that she has put Edwin and especially Monty through.
And the thing is that Edwin wishes there was some part of him that disagreed with him. He wishes there was some part of him that wanted to be kind to Esther Finch.
But sometimes, when you are faced with a monster that will just keep seeking to hurt more people, you have to put the animal down for the slaughter.
