Perhaps (Viggo/Sean Bean, G)

[idri-fic.livejournal.com]

I recently took part in the fantastic lotrips_remix in which you are assigned an author and have to choose a story of theirs to do a new 'spin' on. I was, somewhat dauntingly, assigned foxrafer and she took me into new territory - my first serious vigbean. Her original just clung to me and this is the result. Can be read alone or in conjunction with the original.

Title: Perhaps
Original Story: Vigbean for Stormatdusk by foxrafer
Beta: anobtuselife
Pairing: Vigbean
Rating: G, some angst.
Word Count: 1,491
Disclaimer: Not true, not for profit, not mine.

Summary: Viggo, exhausted and slightly out of it, attends a series of interviews in Rome in order to promote Alatriste. He is caught wrong-footed and the fall out from this is the subject of foxrafer's original fic, told from Sean's point of view from a point in time several weeks after the interviews. My remix delves a little into Viggo's state of mind during, and after, the interview. foxrafer's original story was inspired by a translation of an article posted in the Viggo News section at Viggo Works on July 5; the heading is Viggo Mortensen, by Lorenza Del Tosto.

If he had thought about it for that one precious second, he could have avoided the whole thing.
