Marguerite looked up at her, clearly in pain and exhausted, but gave her a small smile. "Tell him I am fine, chéri. My husband has a bad habit of carrying the world upon his shoulders and worrying far more than he should." - A random drabble from Cecile Pradel's point of view.
"He had not thought, or, perhaps, fully understood, that love is a habit, and that he and Marguerite were in exactly the opposite habit." Sir Percy sits with Marguerite and wonders if they will ever fully heal their marriage.
Everyone loves Sir Percy's quatrain about his alter ego, but once the Terror is over, he might have more time to write a longer poem. (To the meter of "Macavity" from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T. S. Eliot.)
Percy comes home late. Someone is waiting for him. Contains possibly dangerous levels of fluff and sweetness.
A oneshot about the Blakeneys during a return trip by Percy back to England. A little sad but also fluffy. HRH takes the ladies for a turn around his gardens and loses to Percy at hazard, and aristos are saved.;) The usual.
The light burns low in Sir Percy Blakeney's study...
What if a very special young lady gets embroiled with the League...Romance, Swashbucking, some angst and hopefully a nice twist. A little AU. First attempt at a multi chapter story which has been rattling around in my head for a while. Not changing the key story lines, but messing with timeline a bit and offering a new perspective. More to come so please review so I can improve.
Marguerite decides to seduce Chauvelin in order to help Sir Percy's mission, but is alarmed to discover that she still has feelings for her former lover. Based on the 1995 BBC adaptation.
"He swallows it as if he wears a garrotte in place of a cravat. It jams in his throat every time he must look upon the man from the better end of a rapier or down the barrel of a pistol and know that it is not a justifiable reason to kill him..." Percy considers his likeness to his greatest enemy.
A re-imagining of our beloved Pimpernel's clever party bon mot.
После окончания "Триумфа Алого Первоцвета" у Перси осталось незаконченное дело во Франции. Перевод истории In the Wake of the Storm , написанной DagonSt.
A one-shot to explain why Percy never took Marguerite on his adventures. Pure fluff-R&R!
A poem about Sir Percy Blakeney, Chauvelin's greatest adversary.
AU, set 1949-1950 - Actress Marguerite St. Just is signed to play the female lead in a documentary film about the mysterious "Scarlet Pimpernel"; an enigma who rescued innocents from concentration camps during the war. The only trouble is, she can't stand the film's financial backer...the most boring man in Europe, Sir Percy Blakeney.
Dover High School is home to the Scarlet Pimpernel mascot, who battles the cross-town rival Liberty High School's Chau-Chau the Fox. French foreign exchange student Marguerite St. Just has to deal with the fact that her boyfriend is starting to "prefer" his guy friends over her in the midst of directing a play that is doomed to fail from the start. This crack!story is silliness.
Sir Charles Chesterton Worthsbyfeld IV (known by his friends as "Worthsby") never really was lucky, but when the bumbling society fop unwittingly enlists in the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel he sets off a grand series of misadventures destined to banish him forever from Orczy's writings altogether! Rated K-plus for mild swearing.
25 one-shots...25 days! One-shot updated every day! Drabbles, crack, romance/fluff, angst, and hurt/comfort! (k -t)As long as it has anything to do with Christmas and a Blakeney! Review or PM to give me prompts! Merry Christmas!
Percy discovers there is more to Marguerite than meets the eye.
An additional scene for the end of "The Scarlet Pimpernel". Warning: Fluff. Again.
"Sometimes it is not terror which fills him but longing. A longing she, and not even his adoring children, can satisfy." Percy and Marguerite consider the shadows of their past.
After the death of Marie Antoinette, the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel endeavours to save an unlikely trio. Scarlet Pimpernel crossover with The Knight of Maison-Rouge, a somewhat obscure but wonderful book by Alexandre Dumas. This story acts as an alternate ending to that self-same book, so beware of spoilers. Can be understood by persons with no knowledge of either book.
"What sort of life is this for you? You are a French woman, Marguerite. You do not belong in this cold land—with no one to understand you, to touch you." Finally giving in, Marguerite looked up to meet his eyes and saw the sincerity in them. "The girl I knew could not bear this another moment." What if Chauvelin had succeeded in seducing Marguerite that night? T for loose adultery.
A snippet. Percy saves two more souls from the bite of the blade.
