Fandom: SLINGS AND ARROWS
Pairing: Geoffrey/Darren
Author on LJ: shayheyred

Why this must be read: Hysterically funny dialogue. And, you know, Darren.

I thought I'd rec another 550-word ficlet - something short and easy to read while you take a break from flailing over your yuletide story. :-) This one was written for "Canadian Blowjob Day": Darren really wants to direct Titus Andronicus, and negotiations...suck. So to speak. This is the first S&A story I ever recced, and it still makes me giggle.

"Look. I'm not going to beg. An artist of my stature does not beg."

"Really?" snorted Geoffrey. "Your position on your knees gave me the wrong impression, then. It certainly looks like you're begging."

"Sarcasm is not an attractive quality, Geoffrey. It does not suit you."

Geoffrey Tennant peered suspiciously through narrowed lids. "What brought this on, Darren? First begging, now flattery?" His gaze grew even narrower, if possible. "What are you up to? What horrifying act, what debasement of principle, what betrayal of common sense are you attempting to make me commit?"

"You wound me," Darren Nichols sighed dramatically.
