Looking for Fanfic With Specific Conversation About Destiny
This might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I might as well give it a shot.
I'm trying to remember a specific fic I read that featured a conversation between two characters about one's destiny. They're from two different cultures, and Character A has just recently done... something, I don't remember what. Something heroic, I think, and he may have been injured doing it.
Anyway, Character B tells Character A that in his culture, there's a concept of people who are 'chosen by destiny' or 'chosen by the gods'. He says people like this have one big tasks that their lives are building up to, and until they get to that moment they're protected--things that would kill any other person won't harm them, they'll be able to surmount obstacles others would fall at, etc. B thinks A might be one of this people.
A gets the feeling that B isn't telling him something, so he questions B further about the concept and eventually gets B to admit that these chosen people have a reputation for dying horribly once their life's task is complete. I don't remember exactly what A's reaction to that was, but I think he wasn't particularly thrilled with the idea.
I know this is super vague, sorry! A few more details that might help:
- I believe it was part of a longer fic, probably 40-50k+ or so.
- I mostly read in video game fandoms.
- I... think it might have been something from Ace Attorney fandom? Maybe? I can't find anything matching it in my bookmarks, but I hav read a fair bit in that fandom.
- Either way, I think the fic as set in a modern/modern-ish canon, but that the culture B was from wasn't meant to be representative of any real-world culture.
