The mighty 4!

My honourable friends,

our fourth prompt post!

That's right, number FOUR.
Like the nucleobases, the fundamental forces of physics and the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Like the number of seasons, the number of letters in most swear words and the number of boxes each tetris shape is made of.

In this spirit, here are four things to keep in mind:

1) The ( Read more... )

Slave AU anonymous July 15 2010, 20:42:20 UTC

Only because I haven’t seen it done.
Nick is given to David as a gift when he become PM, he can’t set Nick free as that would offend the gift giver and nor can he use Nick as the giver intended (a bed slave) as that would offend the Lib Dems who are working for better rights for slaves with a view to slavery being abolished.

This could be good...

OK. Here goes.

I have this sort-of half-written, but I'm a bit stuck, so I reckoned that if I posted up the beginnings of what I've got it might help get me past the block.

“Who the hell’s sent me this?” he exploded, seeing with part of his mind how the slave hunched a little lower at the anger in his voice but unable to moderate his tones.

“The Slavers’ Guild, of course,” Coulson shot back, closing the door carefully behind him. “The new PM is always gifted with a slave after an election! Didn’t you know?”

“Yes, but it’s usually a cook or a valet, something like that. Not a - not a whore!” snapped Cameron. He glared at the motionless figure in front of him and thought he saw a minute tremor run through the thin body.

Stop it, Dave, the voice of his conscience told him. The poor bugger’s terrified - look at him. It’s hardly his fault, you mustn’t take it out on him -But he stayed furious, with himself as much as anything. How could he have forgotten the Slavers’ Gift? Politically this could be disastrous for the new Coalition. Cameron led the party which supported the old traditions and the old ways, yes, but as PM he was now allied with the party which had made the abolition of slavery the ( ... )

Insensibly mollified by the anxiety on Nick’s expressive face, and a little ashamed of the annoyance which had so frightened the other, Dave gestured for him to stand up ( ... )

I love it! Please say there is more!!!

Re: Slave AU - Slavers' Gift. Fill part 1b/? anonymous September 4 2010, 02:05:28 UTC

Whoah, quick comment! *g* I didn't think anyone would notice this, as far back in the meme as it is. I've posted on the fills thread but I didn't think many people checked that!

I've got about 7000 words so far, so there's a bit more to come!

And I've just had an idea for the next bit, so posting's worked - at least a little!

Re: Slave AU - Slavers' Gift. Fill part 1b/? anonymous September 4 2010, 02:10:47 UTC

Oh, forgot to add (it's far too late, brain is dead....) this is (well, obviously) an AU Britain, so there are one or two differences from our world - including the fact that this is 2007. When Blair retired he called an election, there was no Blair-Brown pact.

There are a few other differences which will come to light as we go through, but I don't want to give them away too early! :)

Very intriguing premise, would love to read more!

Lundie nodded back and sent a quick smile his partner’s way. His handsome, youthful face was transformed by the expression, the closeness that existed between him and Laws clearly to be seen, and Dave fought down a brief, unexpected pang of loneliness at the sight. Stop being such a prat, Dave, he castigated himself. Sam was right to break it off, you know that! It’s so obvious now that it would never have worked. Even when you were dating you weren’t sure you could truly commit to a relationship with a woman, even if that woman was Sam - and she was always dead set against marrying a politician. She would really have loathed being the Prime Minister’s wife! And you... admit it. You’d have ended up hating her for being female when deep down you always knew you preferred men. So come on - concentrate…“As I said, gentlemen, I do understand your dilemma,” Dave returned to the earlier conversation, “But really, isn’t this all a bit academic for the moment? It’s not as if immediate manumission is achievable. Can’t we come up with a ( ... )

Dave felt his face burning but refused to look away from Laws’ disapproving gaze. He deserved that, he knew. He’d always prided himself on his self-control and his ability to project relaxed bonhomie, no matter how much strain he was under. To be taking his frustrations out on the powerless was - well, it was, quite simply, wrong. Appalling behaviour - and he’d been annoyed at George’s attitude!

“Nick,” he said quietly, “Look at me.”

Nick was standing with his hands loosely clasped in front of him. Cameron saw the knuckles, briefly, whiten as Nick’s hands tightened, the thin-fleshed shoulders stiffening and teeth sinking into the bottom lip in an agony of tension - then the deferentially-bowed head lifted and for the first time those changeable, scared eyes met his.

Several things happened at once.

Somewhere deep within Dave he felt something click into place. Something... fitAt the same time there was a change behind the blue-grey of Nick’s eyes. At the precise moment that Dave registered that odd sensation, that spark of ( ... )
