This chapter took forever and just would not end. Hopefully, I'll make up for my slow posting with the word count. :)

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Also, crazy love for my patient and hardworking beta balfonheim, who put up with months of my explaining my headcanon and random trips to Crazy Island where I live with the Ronsenburg twins. She also kept a boot firmly planted in my behind to get this done, and cheered me on whenever I needed it most. ♥ ♥ ♥

Who calls me villain? Breaks my pate across?
Plucks off my beard and blows it in my face?
Tweaks my by the nose? Gives me the lie i' th' throat
As deep as to the lungs? Who does me this?
- Hamlet, II.ii.582-6


( Basch swam back to consciousness slowly )

Um, working on Prisoner of Fate, really. In the meantime, a double drabble. I may have lost the knack of writing these; I think this one doesn't have a point. D:

Author's Notes: I don't make friends easily, either. And I don't have the excuse of two years of solitary confinement and a nest of critters living in my beard.

20 FFXII - Gabranth


Made at the request oflovediamond. Yeah, I know, it's like, three icons and forty variations of them, but it's freakin' hard to find caps of Gabranth with his helm off and his mouth closed. And all the caps have the same crappy coloring. D: Baw.

Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death,
Have burst thy cerement, why the sepulcher
Wherein we saw thee quietly interred
Hath...cast thee up again.

My very first multi-chapter story! I hope it's worthwhile; I'm enjoying writing it. Feedback is highly appreciated.

Additionally, I apologize for the pretension. I'm teaching Hamlet at the moment, obviously.

If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more.
