Insomnia = drabble

Title: Watchful
Author: Archet
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sharpe/Harper
Summary: Harper watches his Captain.
Disclaimer: this is fiction, I did not create these characters, they belong to Bernard Cornwell, I only borrowed them to make this drabble.
Feedback: welcomed and appreciated
Note: my first official Sharpe drabble!

//-//--\\-\\



Sergeants are supposed to keep a good eye on their officers, and I’m a fine bastard of a Sergeant, and so I watch mine like a hawk, though he hardly notices it.

He’s a rare one, my Captain, always running around trying to get himself killed, always full of piss and recklessness, unsatisfied until he’s riled up over some fool woman. The man needs someone to shake some sense into him. Desperately needs someone to lay hands on him and… oh, but if I tried that, he’d murder me for sure.

Aye, I watch him, and he doesn’t even notice.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the drabble. Maybe there will be more eventually, I hope so! ;)

Thank you! I hope that there will be more Sharpe/Harper. I haven't watched the movies or read the books in a while, though that would be a good excuse to go find some inspiration for fic. It's really no hardship at all watching Sean in that green uniform, ;)

Thanks for reading!

ooh, SHarper... more people need to write this fandom, dammit! And this is the perfect thing for a Saturday morning.

Desperately needs someone to lay hands on him and… oh, but if I tried that, he’d murder me for sure.

Awww, c'mon Pat, you don't know that.... *evil grin*

This is so true! Even their names go together perfectly. ;)

Awww, c'mon Pat, you don't know that

*g* I have a feeling that sooner or later, he's going to get his chance to find out. I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks so much for reading, *hugs*

I was wondering when you'll start writing Sharpefic. *g*

[identity profile] archet.livejournal.com 2004-11-07 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised at myself that it's taken this long! *g* Have you seen any of the Sharpe movies? After Boromir, Sharpe is my favorite Bean character, ;)

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2004-11-07 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, I haven't seen any of them. I'm not even sure whether they were shown on German TV at all.

Oh, I wish you could. Sean really did a great job with that character. I think you'd really like Sharpe, *g*

Bean and just about anybody . . . works for me!

Oh, me too!

And yes, you must get Sharpe DVD's, even the lessers ones, storyline wise, are wonderful simply for the visuals...Sean's in nearly every scene...that green jacket/pants, those boots, that growl! ;)
