DOUBLE DRABBLE: Nothing Doing (Bunter, R)

[bronze_ribbons]

Background:

Lord Peter (in UNNATURAL DEATH): "Thank God, Bunter, you're human after all. I didn't know anybody could do you. Have a drink."

Mechaieh: I am astounded that there isn't already a rampant quantity of slash riffing on "I didn't know anybody could do you."

Nineveh-uk: That's practically up there with "insinuate myself to your lordship's satisfaction" in potential. Honestly, what is the online world coming to? I am appalled.

Title: Nothing Doing
Fandom: Lord Peter Wimsey
Wordcount: 200
Character: Bunter and assorted women

Mr. Mervyn Bunter hauled in a deep breath in spite of himself and concluded that he was in trouble. Item: his wrists and ankles secured to Queen Anne bedposts with tasselled velvet tie-backs. Item: his clothes draped carelessly over a nearby chair instead of on his person. Item: the bundle of damp lace serving to gag him, its texture not quite overwhelming the dregs of brandy on his tongue that he now belatedly recognised as unnaturally doctored. Items: the predatory gleams in the eyes of Elizabeth, Hannah, Mrs. Pettican, the Venables' cook, and the other women with whom he had enjoyed "confidential" relations of varying degrees in the course of acquiring clues and evidence.

Here, they were all ghosts, but the feathers, hairpins, candles, and other implements of stimulation they proceeded to wield across and into his flesh felt all too real. In spite of his best efforts not to react, Bunter found himself thrashing his head to and fro, the women smiling ever more serenely as his self-control deserted him. To compound his distress, they took care not to let him come: they brought him again and again to the brink of release and then left him hanging, unforgiven.

Oh, you are cruel to poor Bunter! But I agree, those lines are definitely potentially incorriging.

The original title was "The Housemaids' Revenge"... Although I generally choose to believe that canon!Bunter extricated himself from his various affairs with both finesse and kindness, cynicism notwithstanding.

Golly! I don't think that's quite what I'd have expected, but it's an arresting image! Poor Bunter (though it is entirely his fault for letting circumstances slip beyond his control).

It was NOT AT ALL what I expected, and I should have been shopping for radish cake ingredients besides. (Slight matter of company tomorrow...) But sometimes it's just better to shake the plot-terrier off the ankle post-haste...

... wow. Poor Bunter! Still, I suppose even a man of his considerable talents can't win every time.

I love the tone of this, with Bunter's sort of detatched listing of his circumstances. "Item: the bundle of damp lace" - sent my mind to, I think, even a filthier place than you'd anticipated. :D

Hmm. What I had in mind was fairly, er, pungent. Yours? ;-)

[marginaliana.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, maybe we were on the same wavelength! :D

Here's to the triumph of your urge to do terrible things to Bunter over your must-do list! Poor Bunter (though he may have deserved it, just a bit).

I'll confess to having a bit of a crush on Bunter at the moment, but his attitude towards women... *grimace*

(P.S. The must-do list includes "see if flower wholesaler has bronze chrysanthemums," since we've got guests tomorrow night...)

Very OT, but I just saw an astounding number of squid icons (http://community.livejournal.com/girlyb_icons/69876.html). Oddly, I thought of you. :P

Ooh! OOH! You know me too well, I fear...

That's both very funny and very disturbing. And seems very in character, at least for Bunter!
