Characters in this story

  • Amelia — An 18-year-old Yorkshire goth teen turned anti-hero vigilante. Fierce and patriotic, she dual-wields pistols to fight corruption and threats to British values. She fights against the corruption and incompetence in the British government, specifically against Prevent, an authoritarian intel agency.
  • V — The titular protagonist of the comic book series V for Vendetta. He's a mysterious anarchist, vigilante, & freedom fighter who's easily recognizable by his Guy Fawkes mask, long hair and dark clothing. He strives to topple a totalitarian regime of a dystopian United Kingdom through acts of heroism.
  • William — Amelia's maternal grandfather—a rugged Scottish veteran and unyielding patriot. Father of Brigid and Amelia's mother. William's death radicalized Amelia, turning his lessons into her weapons, and setting her on the course of becoming a terrorist to fight Prevent.
Story transcript

Amelia: Right then. Door's right there. Nobody's stopping us.

V: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more."

William: Aye. Or we'll fill the bloody breach wi' their corpses.

Minipax Captain: WEAPONS DOWN. WEAPONS DOWN OR YOU WILL BE NEUTRALIZED.

William: O'ER ME DEAD BODY YE COMMIE BASTARDS!

William: COME ON THEN! THE WHOLE LOT O' YE! I'LL BURY EVERY FECKIN' ONE O' YE!

Amelia: Grandad—don't move!

Amelia: LET'S DANCE THE JITTERBUG, BABY!

Amelia: Say "hi" to the Fuhrer and the Premier for me in Hell! Now get the fuck out of my mind AND my country, arseholes!

V: "And gentlemen in England now a-bed shall think themselves accursed they were not here."

V: You are not the first to serve a wicked master. You will not be the last. But you will, I'm afraid, be finished.

Amelia: Still got it, old man!

William: Taught ye everything ye know, hen.

V: The door to tyranny is always grand. It is the people who walk through it that determine what happens next.

Amelia: Let's burn the whole God damn thing down.

William: Now ye're talkin' like a Scotsman, wee bairn.
