Accident Drabble

[dwgm]

I was on my way home from the Japanese Take Out place (Shirmp & Tempura Udon, and Chicken Curry, and an Almond Milk Tea with large boba) when this drabble came to me, like a Vision. This week's theme is "Accident(s)".

~~ Chance Meeting ~~

They met quite by accident.

A bit of a splash and a roar from the battlements— Elizabeth!— and he’d found himself taking the role of Reluctant Hero. He wondered what sort of Elizabeth allowed herself to come to such a pass, but soon found out ‘allowed’ wasn’t quite the right word.

Damned corset! Came near to killing her, though her Da didn’t seem to see it in that light.

And Norrington: the Scourge of Piracy. What did the fool think he was up to? Robbery? Or ravishment? With those bloody Marines right there?

Yes. An accident. Pure happenstance.

Wasn’t it?

In other news, I found out I am getting my work computer upgraded with the DVD burner I wanted, AND 1 gig of RAM (WhooHoo!). Also got received my new scanner today, so I will have much fun with that tomorrow.

Must eat the Udon & Curry now, and hopefully finish that fic I've been working on, and then (if I can stay awake) read and edit for ladywarringford, and give feedback to fabu and the_dala and viva_gloria (An Alchemical Prescription!! Yes!!).

Oh, yes, lots of great pix on the Lost Disk. I haven't cottoned on to the art of screencapping, unfortunately, but I swipe other people's work, when I have the opportunity.

So sorry I don't have your story all edited--STILL trying to finish up mine. But I noticed only the one spelling error on my first readthrough, like I said--should be altar instead of alter. Hopefully you have other, more reliable sources of editing. I still may get to do it tomorrow, but I know you want to put it up on Friday and I don't want to hold you up.

There's an interesting LJ Community I just joined -- kiss_me_hardy. It's a discussion group for Age of Sail fandom members. Might be useful!

Bed now. *sigh* Still have a bit to go on my story. :(
