Biblical history, facebook style

For those Judeo-Christian folks on my flist, this is a retelling of the Jews' Exodus from Egypt, FaceBook style. Found via the witty and thoughtful fabularasa, go here to read the classic story in a new environment. You may well not want to be drinking anything near your monitor. ;)

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Oshun!!

Dear, dear heartofoshun: I'm three hours behind you, but in your time zone, it's your birthday! I'm afraid I'm rather made of fail and just realized how soon your birthday was/is a day ago, so the card I sent will be late, and there's no long fic for you. Instead, I come with only a Swordspoint drabble. Still, hopefully it will lead your thoughts to much Richard/Alec debauchery.

I'm so glad that we've become friends above and beyond LJ and that we share so many fandoms. I admire you on many levels, your wordcraft not the least. :) May you be festively celebrated and surrounded by those you love!

(((((((warm, mega happy hugs))))))))

Title: Love's Blind Defense
Fandom: Swordspoint
Pairing: Richard/Alec
Rating: PG


Richard's blade swung and darted as he exercised, taking himself to task. He had yet to duel in his condition, decreed permanent by the apologetic doctor. He heard the door open, soon assaulted by the scent of Alec, post-alehouse roguery: stale smoke, pungent mud, the acrid scent of wine. He couldn't know about Alec's eyes, if the pupils were fevered points or lazy black pools.

"I had a knife pulled on me," Alec drawled, wrapping around Richard's torso like ivy on a column.

"Exciting night."

"Not as exciting as it will be," Alec purred.

Richard kissed him into silence.
