The Lessons of Experience
With age comes experience, and from experience, wisdom. The things we do stay with us and inform our actions and words.
Your challenge for the first IRON FIC of the season is to write a story about those lessons taught by experience. Whether it's the soldier on the battlefield remembering his training days, the witch's continuing experiments in potion making, or the world's oldest hero reminding everyone exactly how he got to be so old in a profession with such a high fatality rate, your story must involve someone drawing on their past to go forward (or teach a lesson or tell a story).
Some suggestions, because it has been most of a year since you did these:
* Someone's mother providing romantic advice based on her early loves
* Narratives exploring the mistakes made by others, taken to heart by the narrator (Demon Souls?)
* A reflective piece about a time traveller trying to fix the mistakes he made the first time he traveled in time.
Remember, rules are:
Fanfiction only
Time limit: four hours
