| (Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to write about a Marine captain without unintentionally referring to the Captain of the ship?!) This fic was finally finished at five to two in the morning, and (not having my copy of the M&C DVD with me) there are bound to be inaccuracies and things about which I really should know better. I was asked to write about the Stephen-gets-shot scene, which I found quite a challenge at first, hence the delay between the request and the post... But here it is, finally, in all its glory. Author: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} sharpiefanWord Count: 2080 Disclaimer: I like playing in the M&C sandbox. However, it isn't mine and I don't own it, the characters or the situations. (I have named Thompson, however, though he is one of the nameless Marines who appear on screen in the film). I think Peter Weir is a fanboy who would be amused by the fact we love his film the way we do. POB would be surprised, however... ~~~~ ( Per Mare, Per Terram ) sharpiepen, you're looking at it... I bin and gone and done it! | ||||||||

| Spoiler: Sharpe's Eagle Wordcount: 1684 CROSSOVER FIC Author's Note: Edrington was not given a first name anywhere in canon. I have chosen to call him Alexander, because of all the names given to him in various fanfics, this is my favourite. I've also promoted him, though not as much as I maybe should have; a Major in 1797 should be a General in 1809. I couldn't stretch credibility much more... The story is set after Sharpe's Eagle. I have taken elements of both the TV episode and the book, and meshed them together. I hope it works. ~~~~~ ( This way for the story ) | ||||||||

| A certain scene in M&C from the point of view of the Marine sentry. Slightly spoilery for FSOTW (book), chapter three. Word count: 2244. Rating: U (Suitable for all). No slash 'ere, sir. Sorry. ( The day had started perfectly well, as far as Private Thompson was concerned ) | ||||||||||||||

| Spoiler for: No spoilers Prompt: Beginnings Dick Sharpe gawped from the back of the crowd. He'd never seen anyone like the sergeant before. He wasn't sure if he believed all the patter, though. A childhood like his did not lead to believing everything you were told. The Sergeant was standing on a bench outside The Hawle in the Pond pub. It was Friday, market day, and there were several likely-looking lads in the crowd. "I says it again, boys, you get a bounty of five guineas, three shillings and sixpence three farthings. Just for joining the army. Says so in the Scriptures!" The sergeant paused and a bored looking drummer beat a quick raffle. "And in six months you'll be a sergeant. Like what I am." The wind teased the ribbons on his hat. Sharpe wondered how he could get an oatcake, like the one spiked on the Sergeant's bayonet. It had been three days since he'd stabbed Jack Thwaite, and he was hungry. Not that he hadn't spent most of his life hungry, but he was beginning to get desperate for some food. "You. The tall lad. What's your name?" It had to be Sharpe; he'd started growing alarmingly in the four months he'd worked for Thwaite. "Dick Sharpe, sir." "Ever thought about joining the army, lad?" "No, sir." "A smart lad like you could be an officer in two years," the Sergeant said, and Sharpe's eyes widened. "Says so in the scriptures, lad. Why don't you come and have a drink with your friend Sergeant Hakeswill? And while you're at it -" here he reached out across the crowd "- take this." Sharpe reached out and took it. He opened his hand to find a shilling. Dick Sharpe's shilling. | ||||||||

| This is my back-up fanfic journal, as LJ seems to be gearing up to declaring fanfic 'persona non grata'. I have decided to collate my fics from Rifleman95 and Sharpies_pen together into one journal, to make things easier all round. | ||||||
