Title: I'd Do Anything (Except For That) Word Count: 176 Warnings: Mentions/References to Blood/Violence, Vague Reference to a Weapon Created for the Tropetember Event - (Rash Promises) “I’d do anything for you — for us.” She remembers speaking the words aloud so long ago. It’d been stupid, really, but if it meant he’d stay then she had to, right? So, she made a promise she never should’ve made. Only then, she never realized how easily it could come back to ruin her. She didn’t recognize the battered man knelt in front of her. His hands were tied together and bruises littered every inch of visible skin.

It took her this long to realize both men’s shirts were stained with blood and that her friend’s hands were tinted red as well. “You said you’d do anything, right?
