Random excerpt that I really liked from an MCSM fic I'm writing :
(companion to this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53703352)
Flashes of lighting and thunder rumbled in the distance. She wondered how that was possible, considering she was underground, before realizing that it’s the Admin, he can do whatever. And she couldn’t stop him.
And Jesse couldn’t stop him.
And that’s what scared her the most, because Jesse . . . Jesse was invincible. They–the New Order of the Stone–had all been invincible after they’d found their footing in the world of adventures, but they’d slowly left that behind, building new lives. But Jesse had always managed to keep a foot in both worlds and she was darn good at it. But their new enemy was powerful, so much more powerful than any they’d faced before, and Jesse had put on a brave face.
But it was her fake brave face, the bravado she used when the world was ending and she had to be the one to keep it all together because who else was going to? (Nobody, that’s who. Jesse took the world on her shoulders and the rest of them just let her, let her think she was responsible for it all, for all of them.)
