Appeasing the Heathen Gods

by Snoodle

A collection of drabbles, each a crossover, concerning the coins in the chest and how they were returned. Shakespeare, Cheers, Stardust, Lemony Snicket, Dogma, Good Omens, and the Kalevala. All in good fun.

Thief or Pirate

"I must have my purse, Sebastian," Antonio pleaded. "At least--there is a coin I must have, just one--I can describe it--"

"Come on, you seadog," the officer said gruffly.

Viola visited Antonio in prison. "How can I help you?" she asked.

"They will come," was all Antonio would say. "For Sebastian's sake, I hope he has spent it."

When they did come, Viola was ready. She had stolen it from Sebastian's purse, and lain with it clutched in her palm every night.

The pirate came through her window.

"Set Antonio free, and you shall have it," Viola said.
