Thursday: On Vacation

[neshel.livejournal.com]

My last day... *pout* I shall have to come up with some crazy themes and do this again!

Today's theme is On Vacation.

After yesterday's insanity, our characters really need a break. What do they do to get away from their normal lives?

Please think about our wonderful codemonkeys and use the correct format (the second is for crossovers).

Fandom, Pairing, Prompt
Fandom1/Fandom2, Pairing, Prompt

Firefly, River, Building sand-castles on the beach
Torchwood/Heroes, Jack/Ianto/Gabriel, A broken stopwatch spoils half their vacation plans

Please remember not to post more than 5 prompts in a row and more than 3 prompts per fandom. If one or more of your prompts are answered, you can prompt again later in the day.

If you don't see anything you like, you can always Adopt a Lonely Prompt.

Round 3 of course was the drinking contest, of course, and so the Ogre's size and body chemistry was an advantage. It was simple enough to distract the ogre with a few dirty jokes, though, and slip some fainting potion in his ale. As the ogre king's large body flopped onto the floor, the princess smiled and went off to tell the Duke and the Prince that they would be freed in the morning if the Ogre kept his word. She then went to visit with one of her on-again/off-again lovers, the Ogre King's daughter.

+++++++++++++

The next morning, the Ogre King was waiting for her by the cages. He was weeping softly as she approached.

"Your books are right here. But are you sure I can't convince you to take some treasure of gold or jewels instead of these men?" he asked her through his tears.

"How much gold are we talking about exactly?"

"Princeeessss!" Manley whined.

"Fine," she said, "Please let them go now. A wager must stand."

Crying even harder, the Ogre King gestured the guards to release the Duke and the Prince. Happily they walked hand in hand toward the princess.

"Okay, you're almost free," she said, "But first I want you to give the Ogre King a kiss good-bye." At this the Ogre looked up hopefully as the guards behind him rolled their eyes.

"What?" the Duke protested, "No!"

"Why not?" she asked, "Because he's green and hairy? Because he's full of warts, and some of those warts have warts? Because he smells like what would happen if fifteen putrid swamps shared an outhouse during bean season?"

"Yeah, those are pretty much the reasons," Manley said.

"Tough. Ogres need love too."

"I thought you weren't vengeful, princess!" the Duke argued.

"This isn't vengeance. I just think it would be totally hot."

The Duke sighed. "Fine. One kiss and then our freedom."

"Agreed," the princess and the Ogre said in unison.

The Duke walked up to the ogre, gave him a quick peck on the lips and quickly drew back. Manley went up then and gave the Ogre King a gently kiss on the mouth. The Ogre King put his hand gently on Manley's face then, and Manley moaned and started moving his tongue between the ogre's lips.

"Enough!" the Duke said as he pulled Manley off of the Ogre. "You can be such a little slut sometimes."

Manley replied,"What did you say? Did you say that you LOVE it that I'm a little slut?"

"Thank you, Princess. You are welcome here any time. I know you shall be going soon, but I wish you well. And my daughter sends her compliments. Whatever that means."

"Farewell, sire. I am happy to call you friend." She mounted her horse and left then, the two men walking behind her. They continued until they reached a fork in the road, at which point she said, "Now that is the path toward your home. You can take it, or you can try to kidnap me and then have fun finding out how long it takes skin to grow back."

The two men looked at each other and then back at her. "Home," they said.

"Farewell, then, you sexy bastards. It was nice seeing you again."

And she rode off happily into the sunset.

This was awesome!! I love the entire plot, but all the little details are what made it really work. Especially the ogre king liking the princess's shiny hair.

Thanks so much for this! :)
