meridian_roseTitle: He Had It Coming
Fandom: The Borgias
Pairing/Characters: Cesare, Juan, Giovanni, Lucrezia
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2 x 100 words plus picspams
Summary: Inspired by The Cell Block Tango from "Chicago"; Cesare has motivation
Content Notes: Character deaths as per canon
also @ Tumblr a; b, c; and AO3
1. Giovanni
He had it coming.
He'd hurt Lucrezia.
Taken her innocence.
Made her cry.
He'd also been indirectly responsible for the murder of a convent full of nuns, including she who had been Ursula, because of her past affiliation with Cesare.
Cesare had promised to cut out his heart with a dinner knife. He didn't quite succeed. Perhaps if Micheletto had been there, with his non-medical yet accurate knowledge of anatomy, it would have gone differently. Or if Cesare had more time.
It didn't matter much. Giovanni Sforza was dead.
Fell onto a knife Cesare happened to be holding.
Ten times.
2. Juan
He had it coming.
He'd hurt Lucrezia.
Murdered her lover.
Threatened her child.
Made her ask Cesare about poisons.
Cesare could not allow his sister to be stained with blood as he was. He would do anything to protect her, and this came under that heading.
All the years of insults and of watching Juan's incompetence boiled up in him. The danger Juan was putting the family and their reputation in with his drug addled debauchery was one more reason to kill him.
Yet it was Lucrezia's tears that pushed Cesare over the edge.
Juan only had himself to blame.

The blood is from the title screencaps, with adjustments to colour the dark spots against the marble background a blood red :D I'm glad it works!
