Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Oct. 21st, 2014 09:14 pmTitle: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Pairing/Characters: Kerr Avon/Roj Blake, Servalan, Verlis
Fandom: Blake's 7
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7000
Summary: Kerr Avon has avoided being sent to Cygnus Alpha, but finds himself engaged to Servalan instead. When she sends him to the slave planet of Domo to purchase some entertainment for their wedding (and remind him what happens to people who cross her), he spots a disguised slave in the market and hatches a desperate plan to gain his freedom.
Notes: For the Unconventional Courtship Festival, which challenges writers to take a Harlequin romance summary and swap your favorite characters into it. This story is based on the synopsis for "Chained to the Rebel": Bound in chains, enslaved rebel Roj Blake stands proud in the Domo slave market. As a warrior, he's trained in the art of survival.
Alpha computer tech Kerr Avon is betrothed to be married--against his will. Catching sight of the magnificent Blake, he finds a rebellious half plan forming in his mind. Avon can offer this captured rebel freedom in return for his hand in marriage!
Alas, Blake absolutely refused to take being enslaved at all seriously and things devolved into snark. As they will.
( Servalan smiled up at him at just the right angle for a flattering camera shot. Flattering for her, at least; Avon suspected he would be all nostril in it. )
