Worst fic idea ever?
Aug. 29th, 2009 12:19 pmI'm trying to finish up a cliche bingo in the next... 2 days, and I'm sort of mucking around with it when I came up with this for the Harlequin AU square -
John McClane is tasked with retrieving his laird's intended from her family home, a ceremonial duty for an aging warrior who's uneasy in a new era of peace and prosperity.
Matthew Farrell doesn't trust anyone, not his sister's husband-to-be, not their neighbors and supposed allies, and certainly not the lone rough-hewn man sent to keep her safe on what Matt knows will be a dangerous journey.
When no one heeds his warnings of the threats surrounding them, Matthew convinces his sister to go into hiding on their family's estate so that he can impersonate her on the long journey north and expose the plot against them. He never anticipated that he would have to guard his heart as well...
And, found while clicking around YouTube today:
Remember Teddy Geiger? Yeah, me neither. I've got his CD somewhere though, from when my boyfriend was working at Best Buy and used to bring the demos home when they changed the displays. There is not nearly so much teen-drama-ready acoustic music in my life now that I'm not watching anything on the CW.
"If I could dim the lights in the mall and create a mood, I would."
