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:

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.

Author note - the next bit was written before this last week's fun and games, I swear. The choice of 'bad guy' is purely coincidental...

* * *Understanding crashed in on Dave and he briefly closed his eyes in silent, furious acknowledgement of the Guild’s cunning and the trap they had caught him in, before opening them just in time to see Nick, biting his lip again, look down at the carpet and nod yes. A quick, choppy jerk of the head which conveyed more clearly than any words the slave’s terror at how his masters might react ( ... )

Coulson’s jaw had dropped, his fury fading in his shock at Cameron’s icy, furious tones. “You’d - you’d do that? Sack me over a fucking slave? But - no, look, Dave, that’s the Keying speaking, you have to fight it ( ... )

The door clicked shut behind him before Nick or Laws could respond, before opening again almost immediately to admit Osborne, carrying a plate of sandwiches and a large pot of coffee ( ... )

Oh my. I can just tell that this is one of those stories- like Charity Begins at Home and The Rebel - in which I am screaming with joy every time there's an update made. This is really really good anon! :D

I can only hope that your muse stays with you as you continue to write...

Also...President of the Confederate States of America?! What did you do to my country? *cries* although that's a fic in itself there

Oh, wow! *blushes*. If this turns out even half as good as either of those awesome fics, I will be stunned very happy! Thank you - I hope it lives up to your expectations!

I do have a vague idea of where it's going, but getting the time to write it now I'm back at work could be the problem.

As to the Confederate States... heh. I'd already decided that the Confederacy had won the Civil War War Between the States, because this is a universe where slavery is still very much part of modern life, in Europe and America ( ... )

You're welcome.:D I have no problem offering feedback if that will keep you writing...I think my problem is that I don't send enough feedback on the meme!

I did notice the "King" in there-- I wasn't sure if you were talking about Charles or maybe even William or Harry but quite possibly you mean none of the above!

You shouldn't have given me that plot spoiler b/c now I'm just going to be thinking about the story more. If you're thinking about who a Confederate States President could be-- perhaps you might consider a Gov. Haley Barbour (R) of Mississippi, who's a current day guy and also a potential 2012 Presidential race hopeful to boot...but I don't want to tell you how to write your own story so you can forget I said that please...

Author note: Just a little filler - RL's being a pain, my laptop's had to go in for repair and I've just lost my car windscreen!

So not much time for writing ATM, but here's a little bit of sort-of exposition/local colour to be going on with. And Osborne being posh and - actually, sort of useful, in a really annoying way...

***“Phew!” exclaimed Osborne, as the door closed behind the two Liberal MPs. “How do they stand themselves, I wonder? What a load of tree-hugging, sandal-wearing ( ... )

“The first thing you’ve got to remember is that trained bed slaves don’t think. Everything that’s been done to them - the brainwashing, the training, the drugs - all of it is aimed at just one thing. Making sure that when the correct stimulus is applied, they will react instinctively and automatically, without thought and without a hope of self-control ( ... )
