PROMPT: Okay hear me out . . . Ever since I watched the last episode I've been hung up on Lascelles's TV fate. It's very different from the book but it's still interesting imo. When the Gentleman turns Lascelles to china and he shatters, Lascelles still appears "conscious" when he's stepped on as he can be heard groaning from within the pieces. So what if he's still alive in there? Wouldn't that just be the most horrible kind of torture imaginable!
If this is the case it means Lascelles is trapped in the Darkness with Norrell and Strange for as long as they are! I'd like to think the magicians wouldn't leave Lascelles in pieces on the floor but would sweep him up and put him somewhere safer. Maybe they'd attempt putting him back together again. Perhaps they can't break the fairy curse but can at least arrange the china into a more pleasing shape (a teapot perhaps? a teacup?) and place him on the mantelpiece. They might talk to him too, which would be especially sweet if they weren't 100% sure if he was in there but just found it nice to have someone (or something!) else to talk to.
I'd be happy to read any take on post-series Lascelles, cracky or deadly serious is fine with me! I'm also happy whether or not he escapes the curse because heaven knows he deserves it!
teapot!Lascelles, post-series
