To (possibly) reiterate...

I know I've probably said this before, but could Richard Lionheart and Saladin just *fuck* already? Just think of the problems that could have been solved if Saladin had just captured him and non-conned him into compliance? He would make a very good pet, once properly taught, just spirited enough to keep a man always wanting more.

Of course, he's still issues with his brother and Phillip and stuff...so that would be a serious relationship blocker.

But other than that, can't you just see him, chained, sitting on the floor of a tent on a mass of brilliantly colored pillows, snarling as Saladin suggests a bath, offers him some rose water sherbet, not quite daring to touch his pretty golden-red hair just yet?




In other news...I am seriously writing the most epic *weirdo* porn I've ever written. And I am not talking about kink.

I happen to think henry II was a total bastard but at least he was a competent bastard. Both Richard and Custer were really buffons who happened to be poster boys for revisionist historical propaganda. Oh, I like my men somewhat evil, but for christ's sake, know what you're doing.

Custer by all accounts was a total egoist. Everything I've read is one of those lambs to slaughter things. How he basically sacrified all his men because he just couldn't fathom that a bunch of heathens could beat him.

So I want my bad boys to have SOME wits about them. I can handle to egotism, but it's the incompetence that I have trouble swallowing.

I don't know, I'd say Richard learned selfishness pretty well from both of his parents.

But I also have been known to occasionally say, "poor Caligula"

so...yeah...
