Fics like The Sacrifice

“Listen Benji, unless one of us kills the other they’ll shoot us both,” Ethan says urgently, hefting the ridiculous gladiator-style spear and shield their sadistic captors had thrust on him, a match set to Benji’s shield and sword. “And if we hesitate or try to rig the outcome they’ll know and kill us just the same. So we’re going to have to fight to the death for real, fight with all we’ve got, and,” he hesitates, struggling to get the words out even though he is lying through his teeth, “whoever proves the best fighter and kills the other will live. It’s that or we both die.” Benji’s face turns deadly white, and fear overwhelms his eyes. Benji knows that Ethan is the superior fighter, and Ethan is sure that in that moment Benji is convinced he is about to die. Ethan should be relieved—Benji has to believe this, he’d never agree to let Ethan passively die for him—but he feels sick. If Benji truly believes that Ethan would take his life to save his own hide, even if the only alternative was to die together, then Ethan has already failed him.
