Drabble that's all Rebel's fault. . .

Okay, so technically I wrote it, but Rebel used the puppy eyes of doom on me! I was almost helpless in their thrall.

Ahem. With profound apologies to the late Quentin Crisp for nicking his title.



The Naked Civil Servant

Cowley wasn't a fool. He'd seen enough careers ruined by just the semblance of an abuse of power. He knew the differences between them in class, social standing, and the simple chain of command made their relationship wrong even if both of them weren't men.

Moreover, their choice of venue wasn't just illicit but illegal. His office, where Her Majesty's business was carried out, hardly qualified as the private environs homosexuality was banished to by law.

Cowley sipped his single malt. Perhaps he was a fool, he thought. But he wasn't a coward.

His door opened.

"George."

Cowley smiled. "Minister."

Yay, you did it!

Cowley/Minister slash rocks! I expect more, you know. Whole fics. Long fics! With lots of sordid details. :-)

Oh yes, Cowley's handicap- love on the golfing green! Please anybody has to do that, pretty please! I'm really fond of Cowley and he really has earned a little love affair that suits him.

Oh aye, love in plaid pants. It gives a whole new meaning to the 19th Hole. (Unless that's just a Canadian tradition).

Yes, Cowley deserves much loving. Unfortunately, there are so many other men (mostly characters) I must torture first, but hopefully someone will provide.

Thanks for your support of The Worship the Cow Foundation (tax receipts available).

Cowley's handicap - Love at hole 19

That was the line I was looking for (I'M not familiar enough with golf terms in English).
After all, it would be lovely if after years of secret loving, the Minister eventually became PM. Cowley would then become his éminence grise and rebuild the British Empire.
Some day in the near future the fic will be there, I'm sure (takes tax receipt - gives to tax adviser)

How could I resist your puppy dog eyes of doom?

You know my dedication to the love that dare not speak its name in Whitehall. But long, sordid fics will have to wait until I finish all the other long, sordid fics in S&H, MfU, DS9 etc. etc. Okay, maybe it can sneak ahead of one of the DS9 fics. :-)

Thank you for encouraging my sordid love of Cowley/Minister. Dare I one day dream of Cowley/Prime Minister?
