{dollhouse} the myth of her
Title: The Myth of Her
Author: aaronlisa
Fandom: Dollhouse
Pairing/Characters: Echo, Adelle DeWitt
Rating: FR13
Disclaimer: Dollhouse belongs to Joss Whedon and company.
Prompts: Written for 500themes for prompt #19 (fragmented truths) and for fivebyfiction for the prompt of myth.
Notes: Set sometime in between the two Epitaph episodes.
Word Count: 118
The stories that she hears about herself are surreal and unbelievable. They're spoken in hushed and reverent tones as if she's some sort of superhuman when she's nothing more than a solider (and the cause of their downfall.) Yet no one wants to listen to the truth when the myth is far more exciting. Well almost no one since Adelle DeWitt still sees her as Caroline. Echo wonders if Adelle still sees them all as who they once were or if it's just her that Adelle looks at and sees the shadows of the past. Echo's not sure which is worse: the myth of her greatness or the distorted vision of her flaws. Neither seem appealing to her.
((END))
Sorry for the spamming.... I'm trying to get caught up on posting over here before it becomes more of a chore than it already is.
