Fic: 'Pinioned bravely defiant to a tree' (The Wounded Name)

[regshoe]

More The Wounded Name fic! I was inordinately amused by this idea when it occurred to me, and so I had to write it...

Pinioned bravely defiant to a tree (1542 words) by regshoe
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Wounded Name - D. K. Broster
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Laurent de Courtomer/Aymar de la Rocheterie
Characters: Laurent de Courtomer, Aymar de la Rocheterie
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Established Relationship, Art
Summary:

Aymar and Laurent run into an old acquaintance at an art exhibition.

(Hmm, 'Laurent de Courtomer' is now a canonical tag but 'Aymar de la Rocheterie' isn't, and neither is the relationship tag—all three have been used on exactly the same fics. I suppose tags appear to the wranglers at random and this is just what's been got through so far?)

That's delightful, and I love the St Sebastian image - the first one that sprang to mind for me was Rubens's version, but the Fabre is absolutely perfect <3

:D I went with the Fabre because I wanted something French and from vaguely the right period—as other St Sebastians go Rubens's one is pretty great. Thank you!

Hee, I couldn't resist that line...

It's a great line, and a perfect title for this fic!
