Drabble: Surprise!

[speaker_to_customers]

Number nine in my ‘Nantucket Slayride’ series of AtS/Moby Dick crossover drabbles. Two in quick succession because I wanted to get this one up while it is still a certain ‘International Day’, at least in California, although I’ve missed it by nearly seven hours in my own time zone. Previous instalments are HERE. 100 words, PG-13.

Surprise!

“The Groosalug has been summoned from the scum pits of Ur, Highness,” Silas the High Priest announced. “Perhaps you have seen him in a vision. He shall arrive soon. Everyone is most anxious for Your Majesty to successfully com-shuk with him.” He saw a look of blank incomprehension on the face of the new ruler of Pylea. “The com-shuk is a mating ritual,” Silas explained.

“A mating ritual?”

“Indeed. All will be as foretold.” Silas frowned slightly as he looked upon the tattooed visage of the Seer. “Although I must confess, Prince Queequeg, we were expecting someone a little prettier.”

A/N: the day in question is International Slash Day.

Yep. You made it. It's 11:07 pm right now. :))

I knew I'd make it; my job requires me to know the time zone differences between the Isle of Man and virtually everywhere else on Earth.

Sounds like they were made for each other...

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

Although I'm sure that Groo would have preferred Cordelia.

Hah!

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[jerusha]

Heh. Groo might be a little surprised...

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Is this your first foray into slash? With imagery like this, I really hope it's not your last. Though the hope is battling to triumph over expectation.

Actually I've written quite a few m-slash drabbles, starting with We All Live In A Yellow Submarine (http://speakr2customrs.livejournal.com/27185.html). The others are Who's The Daddy? (http://speakr2customrs.livejournal.com/72425.html), Happiness is a warm Gunn (http://speakr2customrs.livejournal.com/99200.html), and a 600-word ficlet Sweet Xander's Baadasssss Song (http://www.speaker-to-customers.me.uk/buffyverse/sx.htm). The last one is a link to my website as I don't seem to have put it into Memories when I posted it on LiveJournal (or else I never posted it here!) and I can't track it down anywhere apart from at my site.

I've also done a transgender fic Nancy Boy (http://speakr2customrs.livejournal.com/64003.html#cutid1); and, of course, a lot of femmeslash, not all of it canonical.

I have to agree that Cordelia was prettier! :)

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

Yes, and I don't think that that gilded bikini and whispy gauze outfit would have done Queequeg any favours.

[cbtreks.livejournal.com]

Wonder what kind of makeover Queequeg will give the Grusalug? (And I just typed "Queenqueg" and had to go back. Freudian much?)

Somehow I'd missed a couple of those other stories. "Sweet Xander's Badass Song" is too funny!

Thank you1

I wonder how Groo liked the Highness :)
