The History Boys.
Timms. Lockwood. Piss-taking and instant rice packets.

I finished my "official" entry in the drabble challenge, and decided to have a go at one for my BFF OTP of the ages. The album used is Elvis Costello's Punch the Clock; the title of the set of drabbles themselves comes from... somewhere else.

( Lockwood had a bad haircut and wore bright yellow trainers. Timms was twice the size of the other boys and laughed whenever someone fell down. )

The History Boys.
Irwin. Dakin. Scripps. Posner. The arts of photography and being moral.

Written for rilla for Yuletide's New Years Resolution 2007 Challenge; the request was endings for Irwin and Posner different than those in the play/film. Cross-posted. Very patchworky.

( It hadn't exactly ended there, though. )

The History Boys.
Fiona. Rudge. Tea and rugger.

God, I suck at titles. Lyrics from Pet Shop Boys songs are fun, though. So are pointless drabbles.

( Fiona’s never liked rugby. )

The History Boys.
Scripps. Posner. Noisy ceiling fans and terrible advice.

"Ultimately, we meet Posner when he is on the cusp of really growing up and coming to know himself. He feels lonely and scared and it is a very delicate time for him, and events happen which disturb him at a time when he needs stability and support."

The History Boys.
Irwin. Posner. La Tène and Tower Bridge.

Insert the online equivalent of whistling and walking away, right about... here.

( Tom Irwin's never been one to pine. )

The History Boys.
Lockwood. Posner. Shit poetry and fucking excellent records.

So. This is... short. About as long as I could make it without fearing for my life from being struck by the Train-of-OOC. Try something new every day, I guess.

( He plays 'Swan Lake' and writes poetry for him. )

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 ( Read more... )

The History Boys.
Irwin. His new pupils. Madness (the band) and madness (the general noun).

Written for thekatiefactor for thbficexchange. I have missed this fandom like crazy. And there is so much lovely stuff posted at this community, so when you're done here, go read what's posted; you'd be insane to miss it! (Ahh, like the little recurring theme of madness in this intro ( Read more... )

The History Boys.
Lockwood. Smoking and generally not giving a damn.

1: Lockwood's character was heavily influenced not by the text itself, but by one of the performances I saw. "The girl" was mainly influenced by a teenaged Kate Maberly in my mind, which gives you a clue as to who played Lockwood. (An excuse for me to write a bizarre form of AU ( Read more... )
