Variations on the same theme

The first 15 people to comment on this post, with a fandom, character or pairing and prompt of some sort get to request a drabble from you. If they feel like it, and only if they feel like it, requesters can post this in their journal and write a drabble for you.

And I swear to you people, I will actually write these drabbles straight off. No pushing it back, no waiting months for them. (And by drabble I mean tiny little ficlet. I can't be bothered with word counts.)

When I wrote this, I didn't think I'd actually ever put it up on the net for other people to read. I thought it was just for me, because I needed to write about how Ted and Greg broke up, and also because I'd been toying with the idea of Bosie being Ted's rebound guy for so long and finally seeing Wilde made it so I had to write it. Anyway. After a while I convinced myself it might actually be worth reading to other people than me, so there. When I asked Rinaldo's creator (Edouard, for those of you who know him) for his okay on my brief use of his character in the fic, he told me he'd enjoyed it...

So, for the disclaimers: the concept of Immortality belongs to Ryker, Panzer/Davis, for all the good they're doing with it. Rinaldo belongs to Edouard. Bosie belongs to himself, I assume – my portrayal of him does not claim to be that of the true lord Douglas, however, only of the character portrayed by Jude Law in Wilde, whoever he belongs to. Don't crucify me for it! Theodore Groves is originally a character from PotC and consequently belongs to the mouse, but I like to think I've made him into my very own character by now. Grégoire, however, is completely mine.

Yes, it's Highlander fanfiction and it's slash. But really, it's about getting over the end of a relationship, and it doesn't matter that you're an Immortal or into guys. Reviews will be much welcome.

Righty-ho! For some reason, I'm in a really good mood. Might be that I'm fairly satisfied with the way Thou Liv'st Forever (the Byron fic) is shaping up, through the corrections I've made. Sent it for beta. Turned out to be much more about Damien than I thought, too. Actually, here's the unbetaed first scene. Would love to know what y'all think, especially if you don't know Damien yet - to know where you think this is going. You don't need to be a big fanlander to read it, I don't think so. Knowing the basic concepts of Immortality is enough: Immortal guys running around with swords 'cause beheading's the only way to kill them. You're all set now.

Even the news that the bloody government won't let gay marriages proceed doesn't manage to get at my good mood. Probably 'cause I never thought for one second they would. At least now the debate is here, too.

Oh, and on Wednesday was Towel Day, by the way. A day in homage to Douglas Adams - I thought I'd take the opportunity to again advise all of you who don't know his work yet to rush to the nearest bookstore and grab his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, to start with. The guy was a genius. Anyway, if you're wondering what Towel Day was: all Douglas Adams fans carried a towel around all day long in remembrance of him. If you wanna know why the towel, go read the Guide already. Ford Prefect rocks my socks. Or, more accurately, my towel.
