Title: only the dead have seen the end of war
Fandom: Animorphs
Length: 766 words
Prompt: A [livejournal.com profile] genficswap treat for [livejournal.com profile] leidolette. She wanted to know what would happen if Rachel had survived the war.
Pairing: Rachel gen
Other: Major character death and war themes.

Excerpt: Rachel had clothes in her closet that she couldn't bring herself to wear. They would show off the leotard she didn't have to wear anymore, but she felt vulnerable without it.

At first he thinks they are simply being sensible, but there are more giggles than he expects when the other kids take a look.
