Ficlet: Souvenirs (Bernice Summerfield)

[bagheera_san]

I've got a prompt game still running, so if you want to give me a prompt, please go here!

This is for aralias. It's very short, Katy, but if you give me a different prompt, maybe I can write you a longer Benny fic

this is very good too - nicely structured, and sad - in fact, both this and the other one you've written today are a bit.. adventurer weary after having gone too far. nicely thematic. i like a set. but hopefully the picard one i saw that you felt like writing will be happy. damn brax.

Yeah, happy... well, it won't be awfully depressing (seriously, not even I would write TNG darkfic) like this one, I promise.

I really like these lines: "All I need, she reminds herself, is me. My mind, my body.

Benny used to keep diaries, and she still does. But only to help her think and remember, because even as she writes the words, she expects to lose the book, somewhere down the road."

See, the first line is why in my opinion, this fic isn't THAT dark. Sure, Benny's life is awful at the moment, but she deals with it. And much better than certain Time Lords of her acquaintance, too.
