FIC: His Hand Upon Her Hand [Blackadder Goes Forth]

Title: His Hand Upon Her Hand
Fandom: Blackadder
Characters: George Colhurst St. Barleigh, Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, Heinrich Neumann (OMC)
Prompt: #033. Too Much
Word Count: 120
Rating: PG
Summary: Melchett watches Lt. Henry Newman and Georgina at a military ball.
Author's Notes: Much thanks to [livejournal.com profile] hawkeyecat for both the idea of getting back to the basics (as it were), and with the read-through. Melchett POV. Blame "El Tango de Roxanne" for the title.

***

The way he holds her as they dance. So proper. They're almost undressing each other on the dance floor as I watch.

His name is Newman, Henry. Lieutenant.

Never have I hated a name more.

The way he looks at her, holds her, leans in close to murmur to her. The light in her eyes as she looks at him... She's tense, but still courageous enough to stay.

She looks at me that way, when we're alone.

The two of them murmur in low voices, even under the music, and my ears burn. He smiles at her gently, his hands almost worshipful against her.

I want him court-martialed. I want his eyes plucked out by ravens.

I want him dead.

*blush* Thanks.

Melchett strikes me as the incredibly jealous type. :D

Amazin'

I've read all the ones that were posted thus far. It's incredibly in the original comedic voice and yet truly affecting. I'm flabby-gastered.

*blushes dark red*

Awwwwwww.

*scuffs toe*

There's more if you want. Count's up to 14 (15 if you count "Giving Way").

Argh, that was me. My anonymous alter ego must have been equally impressed, to claim credit for my comments.

Melchett! Mew! Defend your man/woman!

Hee hee.

*giggles* Wow, I have a feeling Melchett is utterly misinterpreting what's going on there. His manly sense of possessiveness is kind of hot yet amusing.

That's pure Melchett. Loved it. I hope you write a piece (or have already written it) about what Neumann is saying to Georgina. How strange, and yet totally right, that Melchett would find Georgina's fear sexy.

I totally heard Stephen Fry's voice in my head when I read this. Wow.
