Whee!

I don't know this fandom, but this is tasty :)

[narikalen]

Also? FIRST! :)

*snerk* *high fives you* ^_~

Oh, OMG, have I got a fandom for you! *flails* I'm fairly sick right now, so I may not make it to work tomorrow, but... I'll see what I can do to enable you properly. ^_~ In the meantime, this is what you need to know to start: Sharpe started (and continues in fits and starts) as a series of novels by Bernard Cornwell (who is, in and of himself, a Sean Bean fangirl, as the title character in the books started to change noticeably to dovetail with the Sean Bean version once the films began). The novels are historically accurate in terms of battle location and detail; not so much in terms of the main character being able to be present at every battle

Ooh! Thank you!

Never get in the way of a determined Patrick Harper. And never get between Harper and Sharpe.

[caras_galadhon]

*G* Thank you for the kind feedback!

Heh. Exactly. I sure wouldn't want to go up against Harps, and I definitely wouldn't get between him and his Sharpe. ^_~

That was compact and beautifully done. I can completely see Pat gritting his teeth and making the vow to himself and to everything around him - God help anyone or anything that gets between him and his officer. What a treat this was. Thanks for posting!

[caras_galadhon]

Thanks so much! I was aiming for a drabble, but Patrick had other plans. ^_~ I'm so glad that sense of Harper's determination came through, and thank you so much for the very kind feedback. *G* I'm pleased you enjoyed this.

This is really a perfect way to start the day. First of all, I am very happy you chose tho write Sharpe/Harper, who are so brilliant and .right together. Then of course this is so beautifully written, with such a true ring to Harper's character in his POV. I love it!
Of course this is within the deadline; there's a few hours still left. I am delighted you entered and with such a strong piece; thank you for sharing!

[caras_galadhon]

*G* Thank you so much! Well, Sharpe/Harper is my OTP in the fandom, so I couldn't very well write anyone else. ^_~ (And I totally agree; they're perfect for each other.) Thank you so much for the very kind words. I'm thrilled Harper's voice really came through, and that you enjoyed my little fic.

Believe me, I had my fingers tightly crossed, because I'd toyed with the idea of trying my hand at the new challenge, and then completely forgot to do anything about it until midafternoon today. Then, of course, I went over to add the comm to my Flist this evening, and realized that I needed membership approval, and you and mooms were no doubt well abed by then. ^_~ I figured if I was lucky, I'd just squeak in under deadline if one of you rose early enough, and look at that, I was right! Thanks so much. ♥

Mrs. Imsomnia is my name, it's rather hard to catch me asleep. *grins*

[caras_galadhon]

Well, that explains why many of your messages arrive in the wee smalls of my morning, and disturbingly early in yours! ^_~ (I almost always see the Daily Beans go up just as I'm off to bed.) Not that I don't want you to get sleep, mind you, but it was a relief to see you up so early, because otherwise I'd had to have enacted my plan to backdate the entry once I got in the comm. *G*

You've caught the biblical tone of some of Harper's dialogue finely, particularly in the last sentences where, Pat's sworn intentions in fine words to match the sentiment are almost overwhelmed by the more down-to-earth anxiety of the man. grand . thanks for posting.

[caras_galadhon]

Thank you so much! I'm pleased Harper's voice worked well, and I'm thrilled that those last sentences still let his genuine fear and worry through. I'm glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for the very kind feedback! ^_^
