Fic: Empty Room (Plaude)

Jan 17, 2009 14:21

I don't really know why I wrote this, except that at some point a few weeks ago when I was writing an essay on caudillos somehow it got mixed up with Plaude as I was talking to visiblemarket and I got thinking that Arthur would be a great caudillo and this happened. So it's all her fault. :) I've never written Alternate Reality fic before. I suppose you could ( Read more... )

I'm going to be okay with you blaming this on me because I love period Plaude and I love this.

“We always got the short straw, didn’t we?” Peter said.

“That we did.”

Always! In whatever universe we put them, jeez! It's like they ask for it, honestly. ;)

Thank you! I'm so happy you like it! I don't even remember what we were talking about, but this bunny just bit me and wouldn't let me go, even though it's incredibly sad. They deserve to be happy. Why can't the universe let them be happy?

Thank you! There are so many settings we could put these two in, though I probably shouldn't think about them before more bunnies eat my brain.

I must say: I adore this piece. You've created an alternate setting that is still believably them. Wonderful work.

Thank you so much! I did try to keep as many of their trademarks as possible (Claude getting shot betraying his boss, Peter's medical skills).

I adore AUs. And I especially adore period AUs. Throw in some Plaude and it's pretty much perfection. The setting really works, and if you ever decided to continue this I would love to see more of how this plays out. In my mind the escape to England or France and get to be together there.

Thank you!

*head desk* Okay. I officially don't have time, but you already got a bunny going in my brain, so now there's no escape. I suppose I could write a small epilogue. i would like to get something even slightly happy out of this, because honestly I came out of this thing feeling depressed.

Oooh. I know I'm singing with the choir here, but I too have been wanting some period!Plaude for... just about ever, so this is really a treat to come across. The boys are at their star-crossed best here, for sure.

“Pete.”
A crooked laugh twitched on Peter’s mouth.
“You’re the only one who calls me that.”
His eyes shone as he gazed at Claude, who braved a smile he didn’t feel.
“Something to remember me by.”
Arrrgh, my heart. Hurts so good.

Thank you! Hee! I never realized there was so much need for period Plaude. Something to consider. The poor boys. They never seem to catch a break.
