My request is a bit unusual (which seems to be a theme with me, eh?). I would love to see a Lance/Chris ficlet set in the Tamora Pierce world of Tortall. Chris taking Lance on as a squire. If having this specifically set in the Tortall world is too hard. Then Just any old "world" would do, but still the same plot of Chris is a Knight and takes Lance on as his squire. heh.

Those unfamiliar with the world, Tortall is a realm of a king and queen with knights and mages theives and yeah. Also? this site has good information on Tortall.

"See, that's the thing with paper contracts," Ser Chrisfer said thoughtfully. "All sorts of little details in there that can get forgotten. I've no doubt Master Perel keeps you up to the mark, but you know what? I'll bet my horse he isn't keeping all his promises. Your contract won't be a problem, if you want to break it. Up to you. How d'you want to spend your life?"

Could there be any doubt? "You said, spreading justice and getting into trouble," Lancyn ventured.

His knight shrugged. "The getting into trouble isn't part of the oath. Just works out that way."

"And would I learn... how to fight like you do? With a sword?"

Ser Chrisfer sighed theatrically. "Yes!"

"Because that was incredible, the way you—and he—and you—it was amazing. Would you teach me how to do that?"

"Always the flashy stuff," but there was a grin that belied the reproving tone. "I swear, people think that's all we knights do."

"There's more?"

"Justice isn't always easy. Someone puts a knife to my throat, I know how to call it, but mostly, the world's problems don't get solved with a sword. You want to help me?"

Lancyn took a deep breath. "Yes. Yes, I do."

"That's my boy." He held out his right hand. Lancyn took it, shook it, and began his new life.

Lovelovelove! Lancyn and Ser Chrisfer! LOVE! heee. I wasn't expecting my request to be filled and so this came as a very very nice suprise :D Thank you!

Splendid - I'm glad you approve.

I'm just popping back to thank you for this request! I've signed up for fanfic100 and am continuing the slightly haphazard tale of Lancyn and Ser Chrisfer. Would never have thought of it on my own, but it's proving very handy.

Chris, the knight in smudged armour, to the rescue! Grand stuff, m'lady.

Thanks. He can get his new squire to polish it for him now, can't he!
