drabble - Comeuppance

[splix]

Title: Comeuppance
Author: Alex
Fandom: Sharpe [Sharpe's Eagle]
Characters: Berry [Daniel Craig], Sharpe [Sean Bean]
Rating: R
Feedback: Is treasured.
Warning: Implied sexual violence.
Disclaimer: Sharpe belongs to Bernard Cornwell
Summary: Lieutenant Berry contemplates exceeding his commission.
Notes: Written for the seans_50 August film challenge.








Berry exchanged his wine-stained shirt for a fresh one and thought of Sharpe. Jumped-up little bit of muck that he was. Needed a lesson taught to him, that one. Needed Berry to teach it to him. Christian wasn’t man enough.

He tucked his shirt in - Must look bang-up, old boy - and allowed one hand to drift downward.

Get him alone, that was the thing. Cosh him behind the ear and watch him wake up, trussed like a Christmas turkey. Watch him struggle and curse. Teach him to get above himself. Teach him some respect.

All mine, old boy.

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN LIKE IN YOUR ICON!

That's the thing about drabbles....wonderfully distilled, but such a tease! XD

[splix.livejournal.com]

Ehe. :D There's a moment in the show when Daniel Craig has Sharpe at a decided disadvantage and it's just a PERFECT spot for this kind of thing to happen...darn censors.... anyway, thank you!!

[slashbycaranfin.livejournal.com]

Mmmhmmm! I doubt Dick will be so easily subdued... that's half the fun though :-D

[splix.livejournal.com]

Heh. True, too, too true. ;D

[mrkinch.livejournal.com]

Ewwwww! You have conveyed Lieutenant Berry's sliminess all too well! Perfectly shudder-making.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Heh. He was awfully slimy, wasn't he? Thank you so much. :D

Oooh, nice one! And an introduction to a Daniel Craig character I hadn't yet come across (and Googling whom amusingly leads to a sit called hotbadguys.com *snort*)

I second the request for art, though. Or, if the muses allow, a longer fic in which this happens, heh.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Thankee! Yes, Daniel's quite the bastard in Sharpe's Eagle, an equal-opportunity sadist. He looks a bit goofy because of a silly wig, but it actually serves to make him a bit scarier.

I see Sean has four mentions on the HOTBADGUYS list, there. LOL.

Perhaps I will do a longer fic sometime. God knows I'd like to. I'm seriously behind on the whole noncon thing in VigBean. ;) Thanks for your kind remarks!

OMG... you did it already! All you needed was a few hours. It's great, hot and promising! Quite an image to think of Sharpe all trussed up... I would love to read more! Thank you for sharing!!!

[splix.livejournal.com]

See how easy I am? It's sad, really. :D But I'm glad you liked it, and the image...it's a compelling image to be sure. Thank you so much, dearest!

[govi20.livejournal.com]

I really think you're quite wonderful and so hope you'll keep up being easy!

[splix.livejournal.com]

For you, anything! xoxo

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, you wrote it exactly like that...sounds very authentic, really!

[splix.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much indeed. :D

[chickenfried-jo.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly endorse these shenannigans.

Have you read the Daventry Series? (http://www.ar.com.au/~jriddler/sharpe/davpage.html) Not because it's better at all.

It's not. It's just more Sharpe slash. Which, IMHO, the world needs a LOT more of. btw: it's 305 chapters. I re-read it yearly.

reposted to correct link.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, I have read a few of those stories. :)

[msb66.livejournal.com]

Further contributions to Bean/Craig fiction - in whatever guise - are to be applauded! I think you captured Berry extremely well here.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you felt his character was accurately portrayed. I appreciate that.

Heavens, what a bod.

[stormatdusk.livejournal.com]

*ker-thunk*

much good writing be here.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you very, very much! :)

[kimberlite.livejournal.com]

Gah! You're reminding me that I really, really need to watch these films (or better yet, have you write more of this). :)

[splix.livejournal.com]

You must, and I should. :D Thanks, sweetie! *mwah*

[kittylass.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I would love some more of this... Yum :P

[splix.livejournal.com]

Heehee, I shall have to consider it most carefully. Thank you! :D

[peersrogue.livejournal.com]

How fantastic, had not thought of that twist. Wow,he may be singing in a much higher key if Harper finds him molesting Richard. Please write more on this story.
P.S. I still loathe poor Daniel Craig for being so horrible to darling Richard. Even shunned his 007 films because of that. I am a sad person but there you go!

[splix.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Maybe there will be more in the offing sometime. :)

I'm not particularly a Daniel Craig fan, but I liked him in Munich and Sharpe's Eagle. He really played a horrid bastard so well! [and I confess I love seeing Richard vulnerable at the hands of bad men, alas]

[peersrogue.livejournal.com]

Yes, sadly I agree! btw always thought Ducos had a thing for Richard, remember that scene in Sharpe's Honour as he sees Sharpe being escorted to the fort 'Sharpe' he whispers, practically drooling, then later that evil smile before he hits Sharpe?

[splix.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I've worn thin my Sharpe's Honour DVD in those places. *blush*

[peersrogue.livejournal.com]

Thanks heavens, thought I was the only one!

[splix.livejournal.com]

Certainly not. ;D

[caras-galadhon.livejournal.com]

*cackles* That's fantastic. Just fantastic. I love the arrogance and snobbery well-twined with a definite shot of desire.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Ehe. Thank you very much indeed. It was great fun to imagine the scene. :D

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

This totally makes me shiver. Very well done.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much indeed! :)
