three weddings and a funeral.

The History Boys.
Timms. Crowther. Akthar. Rudge. Nameless wives and named children.

I wanted to dedicate a short piece to the 'unsung heroes' of The History Boys, and take a small glimpse into what goes on in their lives beyond just their occupations. Not ambitious enough to be a set of drabbles; not a penta-drabble, even. What? Yeah, this is why

She doesn't argue when he insists on their first son being called James.

Woe.

'Scripps with tits'

LOL :D

But never Sartre. He still hasn't the slightest who the fuck he is.

Also lol funny.

Really enjoyed this :)

[orangesparks]

Those are my favorite parts, too. Thank you so much!

Oh, I missed this. And it is oh, oh so lovely. Funny and touching at the same time, and wow! There's Crowther! (Humorous Crowther, at that... Magic.)

I love Rudge's most of all, though they are all pretty fucking awesome.

[orangesparks]

Oh, Crowther and his failed acting ambitions. <3 Thank you!

The last line of the Rudge one made me laugh out loud...quite literally. Lockwood's makes me sad, I like to think he managed to marry before he died (movie or play universe) either that or stayed with Posner forever! (My own strange way of giving the boy happiness)

[orangesparks]

I'm not sure where I stand on whether or not Lockwood married before he died; I just liked the bluntness of the first (or second?) line, in comparison to the rambliness I seem to fall into everywhere else. Thank you so much for the feedback!

Lovely. My favourite was Lockwood's, which was absolutely brilliant.
