Title: Good Man
Author: Kit-Kate Bar
Realm: Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare
Characters: Launcelot Gobbo, Jessica
Rating: G
Word Count: 124
Summary: He had been a good man before he met her.
Notes: My favourite pairing so far.
He had been a good man before he met her, before her dark lashes and her playful banter bewitched him. He had been a good Christian before the fruit of a Jew had tempted him. No fiend at his elbow or conscience at his heart strings could help him decide, no words could he mince to his advantage as he stood and watched her marry another man. Later, when she walked with him, he teased her boyishly and relished their closeness. He was a fool, to be sure, and she had indeed married the better man – but Launcelot thought it was rather rude for a lady like Jessica to let him become addicted to her and then abruptly leave.
