Sweeney Todd Summaries
While visiting the Sweeney Todd movie archive at fanfiction.net, I found these delightful summaries. My comments in bold.
The God That Failed
Songfic of what Sweeney Todd would be thinking if he were to listen to Metallica's song
"AAAAH!!!" thought Sweeney Todd. "Why is this music from the future so loud? It's ruining my daily routine of killing and brooding about killing."
Forgetting the Past
Mr. Todd falls asleep on his chair, bad things happen. its not as bad as the summary...rated T just incase mostly swearing in other chapters
Well, that's vague. I wonder what "bad things" means. Since the author doesn't say, I'm going to assume that the Mole People rise from the sewers of London, more powerful than ever, and infiltrate the government. Also, the sun explodes. That'll teach Mr. Todd to take naps instead of killing people!
Bitter Freedoms
After Johanna escapes Turpin, she wanders the streets until captured for stealing bread and sentenced to Botany Bay. While in captivity, she meets an agonized man who holds a peice of her past and guards her with a fierce protection. Her father.Sweenett
They chained her and left her for dead! Just for stealing a mouthful of bread!
An Adventure of a Lifetime
My best friends, Kaitlyn, Nikki, and I find a spell to make wishs come true. We use it and wake up the next morning, expecting it didn't work-but it turns out it did! Follow us on our adventure into the 1850s, as we change the fate of Mrs.L and Mr.T.
They wished to end up in the London of Sweeney Todd? Obviously, somebody wasn't paying attention during the movie.
one drunken night
Mrs. Lovett's life is hopeless. Toby's gone to war and Sweeney doesn't love her. So what will she do? Why get drunk and laid of coarse! Will Sweeney save her from making an idiot out of herself. I dedicate this story to my friends who call me stoner.
Okay, several things:
(1) Usually, I object to the use of child soldiers, but, honestly, this is the best thing that's ever happened to Toby.
(2) "WOOOOOOOOOOOH!" shouted Mrs. Lovett. "OH MY GOD I AM SO DRUNK AND HORNY! WHO WANTS TO SEE MY BOOBS?"
(3) "Of coarse" indeed.
(4) Ah, the author is an alleged stoner. How promising.
Bitter Comfort
It was a curious thing to be hurt so by the one you loved, for where was there comfort to be found then?
Booze. Duh.
The Strangest Lust
Bellatrix is banished to london by her lord, and soon finds out that she is alot more sick and twisted than she gets credit for.
Lovett\Lestrange\Todd\Lovett\Todd!Lestrange. Very smutty. Consider yourself warned.
Bellatrix Lestrange doesn't get credit for being sick and twisted? Clearly, the author and I hang out with different people.
Dark Affection
Young Anthony Hope finds Sweeney Todd adrift on the ocean and saves him from the rough waters. In doing so, he gains an unlikely lover amongst many trials and tribulations and his life will never be the same. SLASH! DON'T LIKE, DON'T READ!
There's nothing remarkable about this summary. The title just reminds me of a Lifetime movie, so I always think of this fic as "Dark Affection: the Anthony Hope Story". Just thought I'd share that.
