Addressing the Muses

[rj_anderson]

Idea poached from lizbee, whose most recent post about the development of her (really excellent) HP fic Girl Most Likely made me giggle like an idiot.

Dear Albion,

Not everything is about you. Really. Don't let lizbee tell you otherwise.

Love anyway,
Rebecca

Dear Margot,

I don't so much mind you trying to take over the world (unlike, say, the rest of your family), but do you think you might see fit to let me in on how you're planning to go about it?

I won't say "love" because you wouldn't appreciate it, but thanks ever so,
Rebecca

Dear Malcolm,

You are the sweetest, humblest, nicest Muse I've ever had. So I'm truly sorry that every scene you're in gets stolen by one of your siblings and that I can't seem to persuade anybody to love you the way I do. I'm going to work on that, really.

Much love,
Rebecca

Dear Irina,

Stop flirting with Snape. How did you get him to come visit you anyway? He's supposed to be in a meeting. Send him back.

Love,
Rebecca

Dear Snape,

No, you can not say that to Irina. Even if it's true, and even if it makes her laugh. You know better than to use the word "Muggle" when there's a camera on you anyway. Stop wasting time and get back out to the Ops Centre, darnit.

Love,
Rebecca

Dear Sydney,

Sorry about that. Carry on.

Love,
Rebecca

Dear Vaughn,

I'm sorry I don't like you very much anymore. I'm not even sure why. Maybe we can try again next year?

Love and regrets,
Rebecca

That was fun. I'll have to do it again sometime.

Not everything is about Albion in my mind. Some things are about Snape.

Oh, and thanks for saying nice things about my fic. ^_^

I like Malcolm.

I can't exactly say I love him, but then I don't know him that well yet. But I expect you can do a good job persuading me.

Gah. I'm going to [i]have[/i] to read this thing when you're finished, even if it does go against my 'OTP' grain....;)

*chuckles* Oh, don't worry, it isn't serious. In my books, Irina and Snape are both married, and both of them truly love their partners (and yay on JJ for backing me up on that one!). However, they did turn out to have instant chemistry, as well as a shared history of sorts, and between them they've managed to totally derail my main plot. Grr.

Don't worry, I'll whip 'em into shape. Eventually. :)
