Heeee love with PLEASURE. Nobody but you and Brix would ever request them two. But they are made of so much LOVE made out of words. :D Give me a prompt, love. No guarantee I'll get to it tonight, but I'll try this weekend. Else on Monday!

PROMPT I forgot a prompt. umm. winter. <3

Kit was lounging in bed. It was an awfully tempting sight to behold, and William had already twice laid his work to rest to pay his homages to his dear friend's body.

He was back to his play, however, and horribly struggling with the first line. It was vexing, that. He had the rest of the first scene down, but for the introducing speech. His hunchback simply had to set the scene for the audience.

A clicking sound kept coming from his bed. Kit was cleaning his nails.

"Have you not things to do, Kit?" William asked with irritation when he could take no more.

"I'm sorry, dear, am I inconveniencing you?"

Onyx eyes, and William near surrendered at the sight of them. The joy playing there, like unto pebbles thrown into a lake by playful children.

"Yes," he said with all the resolve he could muster. "I'm endeavouring to write. You might be vaguely familiar with the exercice."

"Oh, no," Kit replied with a note of quiet horror in his voice. "William. I never endeavour. I merely succeed."

"Will you kindly succeed in letting me work in peace?"

"I shall do better," Kit replied, and stood from the bed. It hardly helped William's concentration. "What is it that is causing you trouble? Still your hunchback?"

"Ay," he admitted in a sigh. "He has been enbittered by a life lived as a deformed villain and now sees his resplendant brother ascend to the throne, but I cannot for the life of me find my first line."

"It lies not in his deformity," Kit said, his hand on William's neck, fingers playing with his hair. "Start with the brother. Start with history. Your audience will relate to it. Then only, the true crux of the matter, the deformity. Would you love me quite as much if I were a hunchback, Will?"

"Would you?" he retorted, biting on his thumb's nail.

Kit chuckled, a sound like warm wax dripping down William's spine. "Of course not, dear."

"Now is the time of our discontent," Will said, testing the words out loud, but Kit immediately tutted.

"That won't do. Where is the imagery?" He smiled, as seductive as the serpent was to Eve, and sank to his knees beside William. "Now is the..." His eyes fleeted to the window, the snow piling up on the ledge.

"Winter," William acknowledged as he followed his gaze.

"Of our discontent," Kit finished approvingly. "And now that you have your first line, Master Shakespeare, would you care to keep me warm ere I proclaim myself in the winter of my abandonment?"

"Made glorious summer," William continued, inked feather scribbling on the page, "by this sun of York. You are a true friend, Kit."

"I am your true lover, William," Kit countered, and all of a sudden William became aware of a hand on his thigh, another one underneath his jerkin and shirt, on the bare skin of his back. "And I am a demanding lover."

"Ay," William grinned, feeling as if he were walking on clouds. "I have my first line, and you to thank for it. Let me show you the depth of my gratitude, Kit."

His jerkin and shirt did not long remain on his body.

hahahahaha OH KIT. I have such boundless love XD And his smug is totally justified because he is brilliant ♥

They are so very pretty, and clearly have the best ideas for what to do with a snowy day. It's amazing how much imagery- and hotness- you manage to pack into such a short ficlet. I love this, and them, and yooouuuu :D <3 THANK YOU YAY

From:

AHAHAHAH OH GOD WHY CAN I SEE IT SO WELL. Thank you for requesting this AND THANK YOU FAN for writing it.

From:

::high fives!:: I figured whichever I didn't request, you would have covered XD AND I WAS RIGHT. ::gleeeeewriggle::

From:

the heathen thinks an au isn't a prompt. PFFFFF.

From:

I guess with us it is sort of more like a clarification, as "au" tends to be the default setting. default setting of awesome.

....fish? really.

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN PLAY WITH ICONS :( I will buy paid time when I get Tod's but I have yet to even put in my request, oops. I'm waiting for the day you can just buy icons without paid time... it is supposed to be coming! ::grump::

From:

default setting of SWEET JESUS MORE. ...what's wrong with fish? i like fish.

awwwwwwWWWWW BOYS. i thought that time had come now, when you could just buy icons? perhaps i am confuseded.

From:

I think it's still the setup of having to get a paid account first and then you can buy more space from there. but they've been talking about making it so that you can just buy icon space. because I do not need any other aspects of a paid account. so hopefully that can happen soonish! PLEASE, LJ? PLZ? (if I'm wrong and they already have that option then maybe I just fail at finding it?)

I always want more GeoffnWat, true fact. and there's nothing wrong with fish. I like fish too. yay fish!

From:

YOU'RE WELCOME. *GRINS* I still feel like I don't do them justice. Especially since I haven't watched that movie in ages. Far too long!

From:

well i think i know what you should be doing tonight, then!

From:

YOUR ICON GIVES ME THE SQUEES. And I need some more of the squees right now. You're very welcome! My pleasure. For real.
