Darkness and Light, chapter 5

After two days of perfect weather, the rain is now pouring down. The forecast says only until Noon, so I thought I could use that this to finish this fic, which was annoyingly “almost finished” when my vacation started. I’m quite pleased with it, even if I surprised myself with writing a love story with a happy ending. Well, a happy-ish love story anyway, the hero really isn’t a hero and even if he behaves himself here, he hasn’t really redeemed himself. I’m not all that much into the trope of a bad guy being bad to everyone but that one special person, and here I am having written something that at least rubs shoulders with that trope. I must be turning soft in my old age.

Title: Darkness and Light
Fandom: Versailles

Characters/pairing: Fabien Marchal/Claudine Masson, Monsieur Bontemps
Warnings: Mentions of blood.
Summary: Fabien Marchal kills for the King. Claudine Masson saves people’s life. They are very different, but both search for truth.
AN: I started to write this fic after watching episode 5 which made me think there was an interesting dynamic between Fabien and Claudine. Two very different persons but who both serve the King. I was very happy when the rest of the season provided a few more scenes between them.
