1) They are born together, the only two male cubs of their litter, and Mufasa is larger and stronger and golden in the sunlight; he is the one who Rafiki holds aloft and the animals of the plains salute. Scar is smaller, darker, weaker, but he is strong enough - he watches from the cave as the elephants trumpet their submission, and thinks that he could run, faster than his parents think he can, could run out to the end of Pride Rock and through Rafiki’s legs. Rafiki is not young, and has his hands full - he would fall, Scar thinks, he and Mufasa, and the stones below would break them both

+1) Finally, the waiting is over. The cub is dead, or will be soon, who looks so like Mufasa did when he was young; and Mufasa, mad with worry, does not see his brother’s smile until it is far too late. Scar watches his brother dangle from the cliff, watches the pain in his eyes give way to the horror of realization, of knowing what is to come, and digs his claws a little deeper into Mufasa’s paws.
“Long live the king,” he says, and lets his brother fall.

OP here.
Wow - this is just - wow. I admit I was hoping for something a little more slashy, because I'm that kind of bad person, lol. But. This is mind-blowingly amazing. I really, really loved Scar here - the way his mind works, the way he thinks about his brother and Sarabi, himself, even the other characters we don't see much of like Rafiki or his parents. It's all just so Scar, in every possible way. Also, the language and style were absolutely lovely. Some scenes actually gave me chills!
Thanks for filling my prompt with such an amazing story!
