Title: Where There’s a Will Rating: G Word Count: 149 Pairing: Maura/Kel Fight: 1C Summary: More wordplay with Kel and Maura… (special thanks to Rosie’s wordplay expertise on the title)
“Want to know my favorite thing about Dunlath?” Maura asked, standing in front of the long, narrow window nearest her bed. It was open, and the cool breezes played with her open dressing gown. “What?” Kel asked, propping herself up on one elbow. “Women can hold the land.” Maura turned to her, smiling. “I can give this bit of earth to anyone who pleased me – a daughter, a son. Its charter allows either, even in the event I should have both.” “And if you have no daughters or sons? What then?” “I can adopt someone. Give it to a tenant. Hand it back to the crown upon my death, in my final will.” “Do you know what the definition of a will is?” Kel asked, smiling serenely. She was met with one raised eyebrow. “It’s a dead giveaway.” “Leave the wordplay to me, love,” Maura replied, shaking her head.

(aha, I literally had so many puns ready for this, from 'Free Will' - inspired by Free Willy, and not, er, free will - to 'Willing and Able') It makes me giggle, how Kel tries to play along, and doesn't quite get there. And I will think of this next time I'm dealing with a will
