I've been working diligently on my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
comica_obscura fic, and it's in. Go me.
I have the suspicion that my request is on the pinch-hitters list, judging by the "pinch-hitters needed" post...
Anyway, here's some Lily fic forhpgen100. The challenge is to use Latin.
The wars Lily had read about didn’t happen like this. Intellectually, she knew people all over the world lived in fear every day. In Sunday School, before everything changed, she had put her pennies in the collection tray to help them.
She had never expected her friends and family to be the soldiers, to be the woman preparing herself for the knock on the door. There was no declaration of hostilities, no army, no battlefield to mark on the map.
The war was in her home, in her body. There was no civil way forward.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
(Translation: If you want peace, prepare for war. Vegetius, Roman military writer, CE 379-95)
