Happy New Year everyone!

It just figures that when I start using LJ again, it has to go down! [livejournal.com profile] 31_days had some kickass themes for January, so I thought I would do them. Since [livejournal.com profile] 31_days is meant to be a daily challenge, and the day is drawing to a close without me being any closer to posting on LJ, the DW version of today's prompt is going up first.

Hope you like!

Title: on both sides of the gun
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Characters: Homura, Madoka
Warnings for: Spoilers for episode 10, violence and death
Disclaimer: Madoka Magica belongs to the Magical Quartet, not me!

For the [livejournal.com profile] 31_days theme: 01. maybe god can be on both sides of the gun


When Homura fires a gun for the first time and feels the kickback against her hand, she thinks this is dangerous.

When she starts on target practice, and becomes more precise with each shot, she thinks I can control this.

When she finally uses a gun to fight a witch for the first time, she thinks I hold this dangerous power. I can use this to protect Madoka.

==========

In the ruins Madoka raises her Soul Gem, an offered prayer, a benediction. She is smiling.

Helpless in the face of such power, Homura invokes Madoka's name before she pulls the trigger.
