Fic: The Violet Boat Rally: Gen

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Title: The Violet Boat Rally
Rating: Gen
Length: 221b
Notes: Meta-crack. All the Violets + Phil and Ray (OMCs, but not really because they're actually soccer announcers).
Summary: The first race to see who is the speediest ACD canon Violet on water.
Author's Note: For the Feb. prompt: the violet. The first motor yacht race was held in 1903, so it's still (a tiny bit) within the scope of canon.


Welcome, everyone, to the first Violet boat rally! The winner today will go home with a trophy, the James of her choice, and the right to say she’s the speediest ACD canon Violet on water. Let’s see, who do we have, Ray?

First, Phil, it’s Miss Westbury. Look at her go! Like she’s taking her grief over her murdered fiancée out on those oars!

Indeed, Ray. But, uh-oh, here comes Violet Morton née Smith!

And didn’t she pick the right craft, Phil?

Indeed, the paddle-boat! She takes the lead!

Look at those legs! Like she’s on an isolated road with a ridiculously-disguised unwanted admirer after her!

I must mention a disqualification at the beginning of the race. Unfortunately, Miss Violet de Merville will not be joining us. The rule is that each Violet had to captain her own craft.

Yeah, Phil, you’ve got to think for yourself in this race, and that little lady, despite being told by many others, just didn’t want to believe the rules. And no Royal godfather—

Or oarsman, Ray!

—is going to change that! But, look here! OH, YES, PHIL! DIDN’T I TELL, YA?! IT’S VIOLET HUNTER! IN A MOTOR YACHT! WITH A DOZEN SCHOOLGIRLS IN UNIFORM! LISTEN TO THEM SHOUT FOR JOY AS THEY CROSS THE FINISH LINE! WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR VIOLET BOATING!

This is entirely brilliant! The best summary of the Violets - and especially the winner getting to take home the James of her choice.

Hee, hee! Thank you! I was thinking of a boat named violet, but I couldn't make it work, then Minor has this video called Mickey Mouse Road Rally and everyone drives something different. And when the boys watch soccer (the Spanish league) with their father, there are two announcers Ray and Phil and Ray just goes nuts sometimes when a team scores. I don't watch the games but I am always overhearing the announcing. A bit of silliness, but I wanted to get one more offering in before the end of the month.

I love this so much ^___^ The James of her choice! Violet Morton and her paddle-boat! Violet de Merville refusing to believe the rules! Violet Hunter in a motor yacht! ^____^ Just perfect.

I just want to listen in on Violet Hunter's pupils - probably awesome (foul-mouthed, smoking) little suffragists in training!
