The Brave Man With a Sword (Le Petit Mort Remix) by Epigone (PG-13)

Fandom: SLINGS AND ARROWS
Pairing: The author calls it "sort of Darren/Geoffrey," but I don't really see it; there's also a bit of Darren/OMC.

Why this must be read: A freakishly awesome Darren voice.

This story, set between S1 and S2, was written for [livejournal.com profile] remix_redux, and there's a link to the original in the header. It's a series of letters to Geoffrey from Darren, who is in Poland directing a high-school production of Cats. (I will pause while you consider the absurdity of that premise. But this is Darren we're talking about, here, who is made for absurdity.) Epigone perfectly captures Darren's egoism and calculated pretentiousness.


Geoffrey,

Naturally I have nothing to say to you; the wound is literally still much too fresh. Occasionally, in bad weather, it oozes.

I write only to direct your attention to the myriad glowing reviews of my latest production of Tito!: das Musical. (That’s Tito!: The Musical for the merely bilingual among us). Presumably those of you still mired in the cultural sludge of New Burbage don’t often peruse the theater reviews in Berlin News or Exberliner. You may find them online.

Following my enormous success with Tito!, the Deutsches Theater has given me six weeks’ stipend to travel about Eastern Europe, before I return for what will inevitably be a triumphant production of Mother Courage. When was the last time you had paid leave to do as you wished in Eastern Europe, Geoffrey? Or even in the wilds of eastern Canada?

Ah, the rest is silence. That’s what I thought.

YAY, I adore this fic.

Yay, Darren being...*Darren* is my favorite thing ever. And always makes me feel better about the pretensions of whichever actor/director/designer I am working with at any given time.
