Gillington: Madame Mystique

Title: Madame Mystique
Author: Hils
Rating: G
Pairings: Norrington/Gillette
Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters. Lord knows I wish I did.
Summery: A rather silly fic based on a fandom version of Cluedo where we realised at the end that the character we'd named Gillette was in fact a female
Dedications: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] drbillbongo for the help, to [livejournal.com profile] jedipirate for the idea and to [livejournal.com profile] black_claw for helping me have a fun New Year


“Gillette, a word in my office if you please.”

There was a sharp tone to Commodore Norrington’s voice that immediately made Lieutenant Gillette nervous. Whatever the problem was, it sounded serious, and Gillette was apparently going to be the one to fix it. He almost tripped over his own feet in his haste to reach the Commodore’s office. A good naval officer always reacted quickly to orders.

“Close the door behind you.”

Gillette did as he was bade and then moved over to stand in front of Norrington’s desk. He did not speak and merely waited for further orders.

“Gillette, I have a request to make of you but it is of a rather sensitive nature. May I count upon your discretion?”

“Of course, sir.”

Norrington reached beneath his desk and pulled out a box. “I have purchased a wedding gift for Miss Swann, to show her that I bear her no ill feelings. It is a gown. However, I was unsure of her exactly measurements and I did not wish to trouble the govenor while he is busy planning the wedding. As you are the person I know closest to her in stature, would you mind trying it on briefly so I can see how it looks.”

Gillette stared at the Commodore for a few moments with wide eyes.

“Sir…are you serious?”

“I’m afraid I am, Gillette. I would not order you to do it, of course, but your help would mean a great deal to me.”

How could he refuse? Gillette admired and respected the Commodore more than any other man. In fact, he was afraid to admit just how deep his feelings for his superior officer ran. He forced a smile.

“I would be honoured to assist you, sir.”

The smile he received back was more than enough reward for a moments loss of dignity. He removed his overcoat and stripped down to just his breeches. He then slipped the dress over his head and turned to face the Commodore.

“How does it look, sir?”

Norrington frowned. “It’s difficult to say. Would you permit me to lace up the back?”

Gillette swallowed hard and nodded, turning his back to the Commodore. It took all his strength of will not to say anything nor to react when he felt the Commodore’s fingers brush against his bare skin. He’d dreamed about moments like this, only minus the dress. Idly he wondered how the Commodore had learned to lace up a ladies dress in the first place.

“Done,” Norrington said softly and Gillette turned back to face him.

“Better?”

“Well, I always knew you Navy types were a bit odd but I never imagined anything like this.”

Both officers turned at the sound of a new voice and saw Jack Sparrow perched on the windowsill, a lazy and amused smile on his face.

Gillette immediately flushed red as he realised just how he looked, in front of a pirate of all people. He was supposed to represent authority and the law, and now he merely looked a fool. He lowered his head.

“Can’t believe you had the gall to come here,” he muttered under his breath. “I’ll see you hanged one day.”

“Going to arrest me dressed like that, are you?” Sparrow asked with an even bigger smile. Apparently pirates had excellent hearing. “It’d be worth getting caught just to see the looks on everyone’s faces. As it is, though, I don’t fancy a noose around my neck again so I’ll have to put up a fight. T’would be a pity to ruin such a fine dress. Really, you look quite fetching in it.”

Gillette’s face turned almost purple with indignation and Norrington gave a tired sigh. “Sparrow, what do you want?”

Jack hopped down from the window and placed a small box on Norrington’s desk. “I was wondering if you could pass this on to the Turners. Probably won’t be able to make it to the wedding.”

Without waiting for a response he headed back to the window, hopped back up and blew a kiss at Gillette before jumping back outside.

“I hate that man,” Gillette sighed, wishing the floor would just open up and swallow him.

“It’s Sparrow. It’s the way he is. He only does it to upset you.”

“Well, it works.”

Norrington smiled gently. “Come on, let me help you remove this dress.”

Gillette nodded and turned his back to the Commdore.

“Sparrow was right about one thing, though.”

“Sir?”

“You do look quite fetching.”

Gillette blushed and lowered his head. “Thank you, sir.”

Norrington finished unlacing the dress in silence and placed it carefully back in the box once Gillette had fully taken it off. As Gillette reached for his clothes Norrington caught hold of his wrist.

“Gillette…Andrew…you may think this improper of me but I must speak my mind. I have been aware for some time that you harbour certain…feelings towards me.”

Gillette blanched and for a moment he thought he was going to either vomit or faint right there.

“S-sir, I-it’s not—"

“Please, let me finish. You’re a fine officer, Gillette and a fine man.”

Gillette thought he must be dreaming as the Commodore reached out and stroked his arm.

“I was fooling myself,” the Commodore continued, “when I thought that marrying Miss Swann would remove the feelings I felt for you.”

And then he kissed him. It was a soft kiss at first, gentle and chaste, but as Gillette came out of shock he responded and returned the kiss with fire and passion. He snaked one arm around Norrington’s waist and pulled his head down with the other so he might deepen the kiss. Norrington let out a moan of pleasure and began to steer them both towards his desk whilst simultaneously working at removing Gillette’s breeches.

“Sir,” Gillette gasped as he realised the Commdore’s intentions. “We can’t. Someone might see us. Hear us.”

“I don’t care.”

“I do. I won’t have you jeapordise your career for this.” And with all his strength of will he gently pushed Norrington away from him.

The Commodore looked sad, just for a moment. “You’re right, of course. And I’ve just remembered I’ve left some very important papers in my office at home. Perhaps you could accompany me to collect them.”

Gillette smiled. What more private place than Norrington’s own home? “Yes, sir.”

The End

OMG, I absolutely loved this! *giggles* Madame Mystique indeed! But Jack Sparrow has no reason to be all smug - after all, he was Miss Scarlett... *snorts* And Norrington should actually not touch Gillette like that - as Reverend Green...

*stops before she giggles herself to death*

My heart almost stopped during the reading when that wretched pirate put in his untimely appearance. At least he didn't wait until our boys were kissing.
Sweet, fun drabble.
poor Andrew would really do anything for James.

*sporfle!* This was brilliant! Utterly brilliant, I tell you!!

I giggled madly throughout the entire thing.

*reads drbill's comment*
*consequently falls on the floor, giggling her arse off*

[livejournal.com profile] galadhir has to read this fic. *more gigglefits*

*somehow manages to squeeze in an excited squee! amid the giggles that her idea has led to this bit of brilliance*

Hehehe!!! We could start a Cluedo-verse ;)

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe. Yeah, he would. Bless him

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe! I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to send people over if you want. It's not locked or anything and I'm a whore for feedback ;)

OMFG!
*loves*

Sweet and damn funny! *rereads and giggles*
I need to know the colour of the dress so I can picture just how fetching Gillette looked!
*grins*

He’d dreamed about moments like this, only minus the dress. ROTFL! Love this line the best, but the whole conversation with Sparrow comes in a near second: "He only does it to upset you.” “Well, it works.” LOL! What a lovely, funny, cute fic. I must bookmark it to read when I'm feeling down, it'd cheer anyone up. Thank you! Must run off and tell [livejournal.com profile] dauntless_2005 about it :)

Madame Mystique! *sporfle*

It seems the 69ct notebook does the trick! ;)

Too great! And if you write a sequel, you have to put Barbossa and Weatherby int the fountain! With a wrench, a rope, poison and the pipe! *ROFLMAO*

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! Let's say it was a creamy colour

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe! I'm so glad you liked it :)

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!!!!!

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You forgot the pistol and the candlestick - ahem. *coughs*

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe. Can't forget those can we ;)

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not. Considering who we're dealing with, they might want to have some... toys. Ahem.

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!!! I was thinking exactly the same thing

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I am absolutely NOT surprised! *giggles*

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
We're so naughty *g*

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
But surely, it's the game's fault. :D

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, let's all blame the game and not our fannishness ;)

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't write all of them - ON PURPOSE!!! *sigh*

And stop coughing! I have a bad cold right now. *cough, sneeze* Ouch.

I so HATE being ill! Fuck! *hides behind blanket*

[identity profile] vesiel.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, that was cute. It was a nice read for such a dreary day. *glares at snow outside*

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, we don't have snow here. It's just cold and wet :(

[identity profile] ladyhamilton.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*giggles hysterically* Bwahaha this is so funny! Not to mention that it appeals to my huge cross-dressing kink... Awesome story!

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-15 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! I'm glad you liked it

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-16 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
*patpat* Get better soon!

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-16 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, almost. Still have a relatively bad cough. And off to work in an hour. *sigh*

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-16 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
*hugs* You need some time off...

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-16 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, tomorrow again.

Now I'll go and take a nice hot shower. Yes!

Have you downloaded it? Does it work? *wibble*

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-16 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I started earlier in the afternoon, but then my lesson was over and I had to leave again to go shopping. I'm trying it again now, but since the computer room will close soon, I don't know if I'll manage to download all of it. It's pretty huge, after all...

[identity profile] tsuru-san.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's such a sweet fic, chica!

nd I’ve just remembered I’ve left some very important papers in my office at home. Perhaps you could accompany me to collect them.”
Hahahaha! Norrington's so resourceful. XD

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Of course he is. That's how he became a Commodore in the first place

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes. But it's a whole album! *swoon*

[identity profile] hms-dauntless.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
WOW a new brand Gillington ! Happiness ! At present I can only say that I have devotedly printed it for my next fic-reading session, but do not doubt that I will Gillington-rant as soon as possible. Thank you for the treat !

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
A WHOLE ALBUM??? I thought it was only some sort of preview! o_O

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the whole album, but with some announcer-voice at least twice in each song that tells you that 'you are listening to the new Edguy album Rocket Ride'.

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... Can you tell I haven't managed to download it yet? Stupid comp room.

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Weeeeeell, how far are you? Want a single one? ;)

I still can't decide which one I like best...

[identity profile] txorakeriak.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's finished now... But thanks!

[identity profile] teh-farmer.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
WHEEEEEEE!!!!! *bounces*

*coonsiders Metal icon* Yep, soon!

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
:) I hope you enjoy it

[identity profile] hms-dauntless.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Apologies for the delay. It was fantabulous ! Funny, wonderfully well-written, and humorous and sweet at the same time. My favoured Gillington.

Poor Gillette, (well, not so poor, at the end, it seems ;) ) what would he not do for James ! ;)

“I do. I won’t have you jeapordise your career for this.” And with all his strength of will he gently pushed Norrington away from him.
Oh, this was so perfect ! Only Gillette could give Norrington such a proof of sublime devotion :)

[identity profile] fandomcorner.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so glad you liked it. It's my first Gillington fic and not really a ship I read normally so I was kind of nervous
