Word Count: 200
Rating: general
Warnings: Bad relationship.
Summary: Violet muses on her relationship with Pru.
Notes: Crossposted onfemslashficlets .
Violet knew Prudence Gao is better than this weak and wanting thing she’d turned her into. That was the problem. It was so much fun to chase and catch and subdue someone like Pru, and not so much fun having her once she’s been broken in.
Violet had watched her in the courtroom before their first meeting at the office. She liked to drop in to see the new associates in action before they were formally introduced. Prudence had been… magical. Cold, hard, unlikeable, but convincing—and she could sell even her coldness as a positive, another tool for winning the case. A hard, logical, driven campaign to defend and defame, followed by the smallest touch of the personal in the closing statements. It got the jury on her side; it got some of the judges too. Violet had watched Judge Giddis—her Judge Giddis—order a slap on the hand for Prudence’s client after the jury dropped all but one of the charges.
She been impressed and incensed at the same time. In retrospect, perhaps she had seen Prudence as a threat. Either way, instinct had kicked in, and she had done what she always does.
Chase. Win. Break.
