Title: Rogue's Queen Rating: G Prompt: #1, Switch Category: Up to 250 words Word count: 193 Summary: If the Rogue were a lady, the page a (real) lad... Complete and utter crack. (I blame George.) At LJ Here **** "Lookit that. It's the lad with the purple lamps." George of Trebond turned at the voice of a woman behind him. She was a brunette, with hazel eyes, dressed in a man's tunic, shirt and breeches instead of a dress. "Yes, Mistress...." He trailed off, puzzled. "Alanna Cooper," she folded her arms across her chest, obviously sizing him up. She was a head shorter than he was, even though she looked to be older. "Had my people keepin' an eye on ye, lad. The likes of you don't go unnoticed, hereabouts." She spoke and dressed like a commoner, a rough and tumble sort. "Mistress Cooper..." "Alanna," she interrupted him, firmly. "Mistress Cooper's my Ma, see. You stand out here, country boy. Mind yerself, when you come into the city. If'n you find yourself in trouble, come to the tavern called the Dancing Dove." "Who are you?" She raised her eyebrows. "Crooked God's teeth, ye mean ye don't know, lad? I was sure all o' Corus knew me by name." She grinned and leaned over to whisper in his ear, then disappeared easily into the market crowd, with a wave. George frowned. Queen of the Rogue?

"Crooked God's teeth, ye mean ye don't know, lad?"
Imagining Alanna saying that to George made me crack up. This whole piece was a work of art (words?)!

In my head, if George and Alanna switch, it defeats the point of the events of SoTL - a girl going to the palace to prove herself. And I'm not sure how it would work out, in a bigger AU.

Almost a month later, and I still this fic. It's so twisted and original and wonderful-- I really wonder how George would have fared as a page.

I just squealed.
I imagined George - strong, handsome, completely un-noble George - short with red hair and violet eyes. In white velvet and hose.
*Falls off chair laughing*
Ahem.
*gets back up*
ETA: Yes, I know George isn't short in your fic, Val. But I couldn't help myself!

Ahaha. I love your mental image.
George himself was responsible for this fic. Totally.
