yahtzee63's drabbles, so thought I'd make a similar offer. Give me a fandom // character or pairing // and an optional prompt // and I'll produce a drabble ... sometime this week.Fandoms available are X-Files, Highlander, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Wild Wild West, Angel or Buffy, Firefly, From Eroica with Love, Star Trek (TOS or DS9), X-Men Movieverse, Lawrence of Arabia, or you could try other fandoms, I'm more likely to know enough to produce a drabble about the older rather than the newer ones.
So ask away, or not, since mostly this is my monthly Yep, still here post. <g>

Wild Wild West, Artemus Gordon, sword
Hanging from the rope that bound his wrists behind him caused James some discomfort. Watching his partner barely deflecting Don Felipe's lethal swordplay caused him more.The duelling pair came closer and Artemus ducked, leaving the Don's slash to slice through the rope. It was the work of a moment for James to roll on the floor, while slipping his hands in front of him. In another moment he had bounced to his feet and felled the Don with a two-handed blow.
"You took your time," he drawled.
"Well, James, you know I could never give you the cut direct."

Re: Wild Wild West, Artemus Gordon, sword
::laughing helplessly:: Too, too funny, Polly, and what a dreadful pun! Only one minor quibble; suspending a man that way will dislocate his shoulders. Bound in front, no problem. Bound behind and suspended? *Major* problem. But whee!!August 16 2005, 22:17:57 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Wild Wild West, Artemus Gordon, sword
Gotta admit, the pun came first. ::smirk:: And the physical logistics may have been a little dubious, but my excuse is that only matches in with the WWW ambiance <g>August 15 2005, 22:11:49 UTC 6 years ago
Highlander, Fitz, fast car
"Put your foot down, MacLeod! I've gone faster than this on a seaside donkey." The speaker was perched on the back of the passenger seat in a Model T, a makeshift lance clutched under his arm.The car bounced across the field towards a target stuck on a pole. Despite the jolting the tip of the lance met the centre perfectly. Almost as perfect was the parabola Fitz performed as the impact threw him backwards.
“If you say, ‘I told you so’,” he gasped as a grinning face swam into view above him.
“I only need one word, Fitz. Stirrups.”

Re: Highlander, Fitz, fast car
*giggling* Oh, too funny! Go, Fitz.And, hmmm. Let's see. Cory Raines and Jack Sparrow. *Please*.
Or, oh, Bernie Crimmins(HL) facing off with Badger (Firefly). Hee. River doing her cockney impression optional *g*.

Re: Highlander, Fitz, fast car
*giggling* Oh, too funny! Go, Fitz.You just know Fitz would have tried this <g> It was just a case of trying to shoehorn it into 100 words!
Interesting combinations there, and isn't it handy how Immortals fit into any time stream. Think I can come up with something for these.

POTC/Highlander, Jack Sparrow, almost Cory
"Pssst!"This early in the morning Anamaria was the only person awake in the tavern bar, and she looked towards the stairs where an almost entirely naked captain skulked.
"What happened to your clothes?"
"He stole them!"
"Well, what did you expect? Thief!"
"Yes, but I'm a pirate. You don't thieve from pirates. It's not natural!"
"I keep warning you that the green-eyed, dark-haired ones are trouble."
Jack rolled his eyes and sighed. "Clothes. Now ... please."
Anamaria stood up and scanned for the most comatose drunks. "All right, let me see what I can borrow. Oh, and Jack? Nice hat."

Re: POTC/Highlander, Jack Sparrow, almost Cory
::snickering:: Oh, yeah! Poor Jack. Too funny. Sounds just like them!Whee!

Firefly/Highlander, Bernie Crimmins & Badger, River if you squint
The first thing he saw as he came into his office was the axe on his desk, and the second was the bulky figure in his chair."Bernie?" he quavered. "I thought you was dead."
"Funny. Lot of people make that mistake. Usually only once." No voice that affable should sound that menacing.
"How did you find me?"
"A little Dyton sparrow told me. You know. I like you, Badger. You're mean, two-faced, back-stabbing, money-grabbing. Reminds me of my younger days. But you know what I don't like, Badger?"
"No."
Bernie leaned forward with a smile. "Being double-crossed."
Badger whimpered.

Re: Firefly/Highlander, Bernie Crimmins & Badger, River if you squint
Perfect. Just perfect. ::G:: Leave it to you to write Bernie, too!August 18 2005, 18:30:49 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Firefly/Highlander, Bernie Crimmins & Badger, River if you squint
::laughing:: Badger should whimper, yes!And now I want to know how Bernie came across River, and what happened there, and, and... (yes, I squinted *g*)

Re: Highlander, Fitz, fast car
::giggles, rolls on the floor laughing:: Oh, oh, Fitz, and a lance, and 'mid-air!Fitz' and smug Duncan, and... oh! Thank you!August 16 2005, 22:00:07 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Highlander, Fitz, fast car
I think Fitz would always try anything new that came along, but Duncan's the practical one - and if he gets a little smug enjoyment out of it, who can blame him!August 21 2005, 17:10:00 UTC 6 years ago
This is the life!
Pollyfic (which assumes polyfic) On Demand! Excellent!!!!Love all of these! I can see the Jack and Anamaria scene QUITE clearly (mmmm -- quite clearly.....) and I think I'll revisit the image many times.
Artemus getting to show off his riposte prowess, both with sword and quip, most satisfactory indeed, and I agree that Jim would be able to remain undislocated in that attitude if ANYONE would...
You already know my request. :-) Captain Jack Sparrow and the Arcadia universe. Preferably CJS and Septimus, but any of the characters would have great possibilities with him! If you need a copy of the broadcast play (did I already send it to you?) to study up, I can always send it to you with YouSendIt!!!! If swotting for a drabble doesn't appeal, I'll be delighted with Lawrence meeting Klaus! Or Ali meeting Dorian! FOCL! Or camelfic, whatever....

Re: This is the life!
Okay, those are all possibles. Watch this space ... this week <g>August 22 2005, 17:24:34 UTC 6 years ago
Now I'm just getting GREEEDY!
How bout Ralph from The Charioteer meets Ali or Laurie meets Lawrence?!!??!You can throw something at me now. :-)
Oh, of course the Camel meets Andrew goes without saying.....
*flees* (or, in the case of the Camel, fleas)
August 22 2005, 20:15:07 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Now I'm just getting GREEEDY!
Now for those combinations, I would have to do research. I never remember which one is Ralph, and which Laurie! (I'll go and hang my head in shame now ... )August 26 2005, 21:52:39 UTC 6 years ago
Lawrence of Arabia/Eroica, Dorian/Ali, camel
I think these are going to appear in reverse order! Dorian and Ali seem recognisable in this, but Lawrence seems to sound like Klaus! Perhaps Dorian has this effect on soldiers <g>------
Lawrence wondered how he was going to get rid of this curly-headed nincompoop without actually committing murder.
He caught sight of Ali tending his camel, and decided to try camel scent as a deterrent. He had a feeling the roses would have to retreat, and he was smiling inwardly as he led the way.
"Oh! How perfectly beautiful!" Dorian purred, stroking the astonished camel's nose while looking at Ali with his big blue eyes.
Ali looked back with a bemused expression, which turned into a courteous and increasingly warm smile.
Lawrence gritted his teeth. This was not going as planned.
August 30 2005, 22:28:53 UTC 6 years ago
Lawrence of Arabia/Eroica, Lawrence/Klaus
"We found this German in the Turkish headquarters. He fought like a lion." Ali’s voice held admiration even as he forced the prisoner to his knees before Lawrence."And just what would a German major be doing here?"
Icy green eyes glared from a battered face. "Major Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach. Serial Number ..."
"Oh dear, you’re going to be difficult aren’t you? Now we can do this the hard way or the easy way." As he spoke, Lawrence leant forward and ran the back of his hand across the bruised cheek.
"Scheisse!" snarled the major. "Are all Englishmen perverts?"

Arcadia/POTC, Nightingale & Sparrow, awful pun
The young couple dancing on the beach made a pretty picture, but the tall man sitting watching them had a lugubrious expression as he spoke."It's not as if I was lying. I just ..."
"...embroidered."
"Speculated a little boldly. So I thought it best to ..."
" ... hide."
"Withdraw from the public eye for a short time. Although I'm still not quite sure how I ended up here."
The figure reclining beside him opened his eyes, and then closed one in a wink. "Birds of a feather, Bernie."
"I have nothing in common with you, Mr Sparrow!"
"Keep telling yourself that, mate."

Re: Arcadia/POTC, Nightingale & Sparrow, awful pun
No time for anything else now, but AWFUL DREADFUL TERRIBLE (wonderful) PUN!!!!! FOCL!xoxoxo
