Sorry for people seeing this a second time. But I might be going somewhere with this soon, and I have reorganized and actually done a disclaimer.

uisgich and I started thinking about a Sharpe/Aragorn plot last year. She wrote a little. I wrote more. Because this is a crossover where our Mr. Sharpe travels to Middle Earth, Arena readers are going to see a lot of parallels here. Everything is in very rough form and carries a heavy bad!fic rough draft warning. It needs a big rethink so that it won't be Arena in Middle Earth, and I'm not announcing it anywhere any time soon, but I'll post the pieces open, unless I start coming up with anything that is creative and interesting enough that I feel like people would resent spoilers.

Special glaring to:

uisgich, who started this with some bath!slut!porn one boring afternoon while I was working, pretended she wanted to write with me, then dropped it in my lap. *glares*

You're a shameless tease.

But I AM working on the yogurt thing! Really. Worked on it an hour last night, and half an hour yesterday morning. Got up early to day to finish it! *glares* *snickers* *tries to glare more*

Got up early to day to finish it!
Please-- work harder! I really hope to see more soon.
I like the starting point. In this situation both their behaviour seems really believable. And there are so many possible conflicts to happen...
So: Looking forward to new parts!

Hi! Not a member of this LJ, but I love to read anything interesting I come across. Two of these are protected and I couldn't read them but I read all the rest, and they were very good in their rough state. The way Sharpe arrived in Middle Earth is very plausible, as are the feelings and conflict between he and Aragorn. It very much seems like a future incarnation of Boromir going or being sent back to the one who needs(and misses) him most. You shouldn't give up on this, it could turn out very good. And as frickabrandis says, all the possibilities...

Wow! Glad you liked it! How did you find me? The only locked link I found above was the one to my "writers page," where I organize my thoughts with notes and whatnot til the next time I can spend time on a project.

I need to come back to this. I love them together. My RL is just insane, is all. :) And this one is probably my most difficult idea. I don't even think of it as a WIP...

Regarding "being a member," it's my opinion that if it's posted public, it's pretty silly to pretend that only friends will read it... :)

I am a member of a few communities, but have only written in one. I am always interested in seeing what else is out there and came across Sons of Gondor. Many of the writers here are very good, so I went back on the calendars to read what I could read and found yours. Licky Bath Scene and Do not look behind the veil are the ones I could not read. But yeah, if you get the chance to get back to this you could do a lot.

Oh! The bath scene was written by

uisgich who recently friends locked her entire journal. I wonder if she would unlock this one for me. Must check with her. And you are not supposed to click "Do not look beyond the veil..." *snickers*

Tease! It shouldn't be there if we're not allowed to look!

I just fixed the bath scene link. :)

These scenes are exquisite, I would very much like to see you 'flesh' this out (*evin grin*) but I'll take more snippets if they're as erotic as the honey/yogurt session...

I found this by a chain of friendsfriends LOTR memories -- it's very interesting, and while I like the smut, I'm most interested in the cultural confusion (Sharpe is so a fish out of water) and the language difficulties which you are conveying nicely. I hope your still playing with it, because I'd love to see more.

Aragorn really doesn't seem the kind who'd know how to deal with Sharpe, who is much cannier and bad-tempered, and does *not* act as if he knows he's in an epic story. And Sharpe certainly would be bewildered by Middle-Earth and especially any kindness shown him -- he tends to be suspicious of such and bite first.

While this definitely remains my favorite cross-over pairing ever, I don't know what will ever happen with this project. My VigBean muse has gone who knows where. :(

Oh, too bad you've lost your inspiration. The skeleton you've got up has a fascinating shape to it.

I'm watching the Sharpe series again, and frankly, I find it amusing that you had Aragorn bring him to Minas Tirith -- Sharpe's tendency to get the girl, no matter if she was married, would have caused a lot of trouble, don't you think?

Ha! I hadn't thought of that! :)

Well, we'd all need to have faith in Arwen, I suppose.

Oh, I have faith in Arwen. I just think she'd take it stride and want to watch, that's all.

Faramir, on the other hand, will be suspicious for any number of reasons, and want Eowyn as far from Sharpe as possible.

Not only is Sharpe pretty similar to Rohirrim standards of a hero -- godawful bravery and stubborn honor -- but Eowyn is close to Sharpe's ideal woman, to wit, she can totally kick his ass.

Thank you for reading it, though! And I'm glad you liked it.

*moans* another one i either missed or passed on way back when. it was a pleasure to read in its so-far entirety.

I don't think I ever announced this anywhere, because it was so far from complete. Maybe that's why. :) Happy you liked it!
