So this is finally happening

[osprey_archer]

Remember how a year ago motetus made the most beautiful, beautiful picture for my birthday, of Lucrezia Borgia cross-dressing with a sword?







And then I promptly sat on the plot bunny that inspired it and wrote nothing else. Oops.

But now! I have been watching season 3 of The Borgias, and the story has been resuscitated. Which is thematically appropriate, given that it is a story about vampires.

Title: Lucrezia Borgia, Vampire Slayer
Fandom: The Borgias
Pairings: about as Lucrezia/Cesare as the first two seasons of the show. So sort of on the edge, there.
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: So not mine. :(
Summary: When Cesare disappears, only Lucrezia knows that he has gone to meet his vampire lover. And only Lucrezia can save him.

This is only chapter 1. It's going to be about four chapters, posted on Mondays & Thursdays, because I'm hoping that this will help me get my writing mojo back.

I'm going to be patient and wait until the whole thing is up so I can read this in one go, but eeeeeee! SO excited about this and I'm very glad you didn't sit on the bunny for so long that it suffocated and died.

I find that the best bunnies are immortal. I still have one bouncing around in my head for a fic where Owen from Torchwood dresses up as a matador (why? Who knows? Who cares?), just waiting for the day when I watch some Torchwood again.

This sounds extremely promising! *cheers you onwards*

I've got it about half done! I think I'll be able to keep ahead of my posting schedule.

I have this tab open because, even though I've never watched the series, I want to read the fic! Because your fics are always awesome, completely on their own--in fact, I think I read more fics from you in worlds I'm unfamiliar with (Rosemary Sutcliff's Roman Britain stuff) than in worlds I'm familiar with--like Downton Abbey :-)

I'll make another post when the whole thing is done, if you want to wait for that.

Hah! I didn't even notice that this was only chapter 1. Still going to keep the tab open, but I'll look for your post when you finish, as well--how long do you think it will be? Never mind! Four chapters.

Note to self: READ CAREFULLY.

I'm hoping to have the whole thing up by next Thursday. I find it gives me a bit of extra incentive if I have a posting schedule that I'm trying to stick to.
