Show Me, part 1

I’ve written fic! Which was supposed to be just smut and not much plot, but plot sneaked up on me anyway, so the smut won’t show until the next chapter. Which will be on hold until I have finished that remix that has a deadline within a week, or so. Which I guess isn’t really of interest to any of you as I don’t think I know anyone here are into Versailles. (And please don’t take that as I bemoan it- I store all my fics here and don’t expect anyone on my f-list to read it.) :)

Title: Show Me
Fandom: Versailles
Rating: Explicit
Genre: Drama
Word Count: 1739
Chapters: 1/2
Characters/pairing: Fabien Marchal/Sophie de Clermont.
Warnings: None for this chapter, explicit sex and spanking in the next.
Summary: Sophie needs Fabien Marchal to survive, but she is not prepared to let him dictate all the terms.
AN:Takes place after season one.

I like Sophie and her survival instincts. She’s in a rather hopeless situation after her mother’s death and if submitting to Fabien’s demands isn’t a good option, it’s still better than being turned out on the street with no means of support at all. And even if she is dependent of Fabien, she doesn’t seem to be afraid of him- perhaps, as she says, she has not much to loose anymore. I see her as a person who retains her autonomy despite her agreed subservience and I hope I manage to show that in this fic.

What isn’t clear in the show, though evident if you check the actual historical events, is that even if season 1 starts in 1667, it ends in 1670. Which means, if you are concerned by underage, that Sophie, who is sixteen in 1667, must be nineteen in the final episode.
