Ok, so I'm going to try something to get my creative juices flowing. Leave me an icon and I'll write you drabblish response in the comments. The first five prompts(if I even get that many)will definetly get answered.

*I am so rusty in the SGA arena you have no idea*

He bled like any man; his body had been torn and bruised; he'd even felt his very life slip away like water through a sieve.

His heart had seen its fair share of pain as well. Grief was like a familiar ghost that danced at the edge of his vision, an ache that reminded him no matter what he did people were going to die, going to suffer.

The one thing that had never deserted him was his will to live. Some people might have called it hope, some might have called it pure stubborn. He figured it was a mix of both, though there had been times when hope had been the farthest thing from his mind. He'd just never been able to give up, to lay down and die.

Sometimes after a particularly hard mission, sometimes after someone he cared about/loved/would die for, had come too close to their own death for comfort, sometimes when he'd come too close to his own, sometimes when he just felt like going to sleep and never waking up, he'd look in his mirror and remind himself:

I am never broken.

This line especially is made of the win. You really did well in capturing the icon's mood!
