Title: Birthright

Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: G
Characters: Philip, and a lizard of my own—his adjutant, Victor.
Setting: General.
Summary: Philip measures the price of human life.
Disclaimer: Philip and the premise of "V" don’t belong to me; I’m simply playing with them. Victor is mine, though.
Notes: Way back in 1996-1997, before I had internet access, I actually wrote several "V" fanfiction stories for my own amusement. I still had a lot to learn as a writer, and most of those stories probably wouldn’t stand up all that well to rewriting. However, this was one scene I always did want to rework as a stand-alone character piece—and when
wabbitseason asked for fifth column fiction for the
fandom_stocking exchange, I finally had a good motivation to do it.
Incidentally, I have a vague recollection that this scene was first inspired by the movie Schindler’s List. Since the "V" series itself shamelessly pillaged plots and scenes from other films such as Casablanca, I feel no guilt about doing a little borrowing of my own. *g*
( The brooch was more than two inches long, a gracefully curved bar of intricate filigree. )
