a charming rhyme.

[from_the_west]

gavian and lugh. >_>; i actually posted this last night, but as far as i can tell, the post acted as if it were backdated, so i'm trying again. my apologies if this is your second time seeing it. this particular lj is plagued with tech issues, so i don't think i'll be going in for a plus lj in the future.

"GAVI!" Lugh exclaimed as he strode in, waving a scroll grandly. "So good to see you!"

The sigh that followed was quite audible. And the dryness of tone after could've been used to sop up half the world's seas and still been thirsty for more.



"...Hello, Lugh." Gavian said, blotting her quill pen. "Which of your undoubtedly outstanding achievements are you here to gloat about today?" The last came with a politely muffled yawn.

"Oh come now, you needn't go to such lengths to hide your delight at my return." He cheerfully flung himself down in a chair and put his feet up. "You haven't seen me all moon, and you're not even the least bit curious as to what I've been up to?"

A flick of Gavian's finger, and Lugh's chair shot back and his feet came down from her desk. His grin remained unaffected and unrepentant as ever.

"Not particularly, no." Gavian answered. "Why don't you go share with your friends?"

"Why you're the very best friend I have! Everyone else might get jealous, or worse, they might actually think the less of me for it, and I know that ye hold me so dear to your own heart that my vision would never tarnish in your sight!"

The fravashi looked at him.

He tried again.

"I prefer to think of it as a confession, tá? Is it any fault of mine that I offer a confession that might be the pride of another man?"

"You were doing slightly better with that one--but you kept talking."

"To the fires with it then, ye cranky old bird! Help me with this bit of rhyme?"

Gavian sighed again. "Very well, Lugh. What rhyme is this?"

"I'm writing a popular new ballad. What do you think would best rhyme with--" The song that lurked in his voice expanded to singing in truth, seemingly without effort on his part-- "I not only took back the land ye stole, I just knocked up your daughter?"

"You are such a child." Gavian picked up the pen again, and went back to work, ruffled and peevish. "I can't believe I actually walked into that. What was Oberon's response?"

"I for one, am delighted by the way ye humour me. Nil, so far; I'll send you notice when he does."

"Of course you will."

Lugh is a marvelous shit. He really is.

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

yeeees. yes, he is.

the only thing about this that makes me a bit "...." is this whole thing is that i'm sure, sooner or later, i'll be getting oberon being a fabulous bastard right back.

[billradish.livejournal.com]

I can think of several people who'd pay to see that.

I would only be surprised if Lugh wasn't one of them.

*snerk*

...and titania, for that matter.

maybe we should just throw oberon, bjarthor and lugh in a room and let them have at. with cameras, of course. now THAT reality show i would watch. and possibly buy a dvd set of.

As long as the room is properly sealed, Himself volunteers to help you make this so thinks this would be hilarious.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I got 50 on Lugh!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

But not to the same degree of style :)

This assumes that Oberon's response doesn't do something along the lines of make everyone belch frogs that do a chorus line of "Welcome to the Family! Your new mother-in-law is coming for a visit!"

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

yeah, this seems like it just wound up being the one-upping game of doom--least until it's interrupted by alfheim.

*Giggles*

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

he's kinda awful. =D

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

Oh Lugh. *amused*

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

this is a fun universe that is fun. like a toy.

[thistle-dear.livejournal.com]

Again, I *love* your Lugh. XD He can come visit any time :D

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

*snork!* this is because you're crazy. well, he is very friendly. he really only seems to get to chewing the scenery when someone else pushes him first.

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

at least he's adorably cheerful while he's trying gavian's patience....

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

*gigggling!* yes. it's sorta like the high-powered version of "it's a good thing you're CUTE."

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Gav...

I'm sure Lugh is the only being in all eternity that calls her that. And puts his feet on her desk. Poor Gavian, Lugh is a full time job


They do bounce off each other so well though :)

"You haven't seen me all moon, and you're not even the least bit curious as to what I've been up to?"

I think a better phrasing would be "aren't you at least concerned and worried about what crazy I've caused/brought home/eaten?"


"I not only took back the land ye stole, I just knocked up your daughter?"

*chokes* *dies* *gasps for air* *dies again*

Oh this HAS to be played in Oberon's court. Yes yes it does! *dies all over again*

Lugh? Rocks. Is there anyway he can be made the new Cethir Awesome and take over the whole world?

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

he was....until he infected some of the children with it. aly and bren tend to yell "GAVI!" whenever they see her also. she's delighted. really.

"aren't you at least concerned and worried about what crazy I've caused/brought home/eaten?"

*SNERK!* yeeeah.

he didn't really want to be the ard ri; i have no idea who you'd have to kill to convince him to go for cethir cor. *solemn*

[da-staplerthief.livejournal.com]

"I not only took back the land ye stole, I just knocked up your daughter?"

*DEAD!* K, you and your writing embody all that I miss about the internet. :D And Lugh? You are a magnificent bastard. I approve!

[from-the-west.livejournal.com]

aw! <3 hee.

he IS a magnificent bastard at times, simply awful. he's wonderful fun, tho. =D
