    Summary

    Eden has always been Simon's home, until they left him for dead on that station. Sure, they had been harsh sometimes but what was the alternative?

    The Consolidation of Iron? The people who wanted to rip out Eden's tree and take their kids?

    At least Eden was peaceful, at least Eden didn't lie.

    Choking, gagging on his own blood, he realized how much he wished that was true.
    ---
    Eden had long used children for war, they were easy to train, and easier to indoctrinate when they were born and raised in a nursery. Eden was more than fine with the knowledge they were sending kids to die, after all, they all became soil?

    But what COI had laws to stop trials/convictions for minors? How could Eden get around that?

    Simple: If your calendar years are half that of the COI, your 15-year-old becomes 30, and you have “righteous” anger aplenty to point right back at the COI.

    If a few kids have to die to make ends meet? Well, It's just bigger than us.

    (OR I wanted to write a fic where Simon is actually just a really fucking scared and traumatized child, because Mark you hurt me with that ending so name Simon will get hugs.)

    Summary

    "He tries to speak, but he can't. He wouldn't know what to say anyway. He fought so hard to stay alive, but this doesn't feel like he’s alive anymore. He closes his eyes, just to blink, but he can't seem to open them back up. At least he’s not going to die in that metal coffin."

    What if the fish didn't attack the SM-13 or SM-14 at the very end of the movie? maybe this.

     

    Ignore things being out of order, I've seen the movie twice and still can't remember the order of things. :')
