Title: Le kami mal gardé
Author: Enaty
Rating: K
Warnings: OOC. Seriously OOC. But never mind. And probably quite AU. Just some silly fluff
Disclaimer: The characters of PSoH belong to Matsuri Akino. I do not make any money with this fanfiction, and neither do I intend to infringe any copyright. The storyline also does not belong to me in this case, but to – well, to be honest, I've no idea to whom it belongs. Only that it's not me, unfortunately.
Claimer: The idea to use this particular storyline combined with PSoH is mine.
Author's Note: This fanfiction is dedicated to Kayi Rowling and the "Sheherazade"-Drabble-Series in deep admiration. If you come across something that reminds you of "Sheherazade", know that this piece of work would never have come true in this form hadn't it been for the series, and I owe Kayi deep gratitude for writing it and thus inspiring me to do "Le kami mal gardé" and also for permitting me to post this fic. Thanks, Kayi!
Author's Note 2: As I already said, the storyline is not mine. This might sound strange, but is easily explained. I am using the story arch of a ballet for this fanfiction, only with the characters of PSoH as the main characters.
The ballet we're talking about is originally named "La fille mal gardée". As Count D is – obviously – no girl (at least not completely…), I had to rename it. Anyway, I based this fiction on the 1984 production of "La fille mal gardée" by the Royal Ballet in Covent Garden, with Leslie Collier and Michael Coleman as Lise and Colas. If anyone's interested, parts of the video can be found on youtube, and they're totally worth a look, as well as the music by Ferdinand Hérold, arranged by John Lanchbery.
In the course of this fanfiction, I will try to stay as close as possible to the scene order of the ballet. There will also be some stage directions, marked with brackets, just as if you're reading a play. Perhaps some of you know the ballet, and can tell me afterwards if I did a good job at it?
If not, enjoy anyway and of course you are all welcome to leave your comments and critiques for me. I hope you'll have fun and so long,
Enaty
