Based on that picture.

"Are you sure about him?" The helmet concealed the face, but there was no mistaking the doubt in the voice as it's owner stared at the scowling young man in chains the squad had just brought in.

The Lieutenant sighed. "He's the only one we could find who fit the description. Cyber-maintenance skills, high-level butling skills, courage, discretion, proven ability to handle a high-stress work environment, astronomically high loyalty levels -- if he isn't good enough I don't know where else we'll find Lord Vader a new valet." 

Author's Note: Based on the lovely picture  laligin[Unknown site tag]took  in Birmingham and posted here.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

It's mesmerizing, isn't it? :)

[irener.livejournal.com]

Haaahahaha that picture pleaded to be fictioned:D Well done!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

It sure did. Thank you!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

that picture is my new favorite involving stormtroopers...and I think this fic might be my new favorite, period.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I've always had a soft spot for the redshirts/grunts, probably from watching too many WW2 movies as a child.

[love-jackianto.livejournal.com]

Haha 'Cyber-maintenance skills, high-level butling skills, courage, discretion, proven ability to handle a high-stress work environment, astronomically high loyalty levels' loved that, mostly because it's true. I'm going to make some icons from *that* picture very soon. I have a feeling that *that* picture may become the stuff of fandom legend.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

It's the obvious conclusion.

[byrons-brain.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe, very funny....

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

*giggle*

Nice one! :D I love it!

[laligin.livejournal.com]

By the way, may I add a link to this drabble from my post with the pic? I want to keep track of everything it inspires! :D

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

hahhahaha!!!! Vaders valet, I love it!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I know, it's one of those "Duh!" moments, isn't it?

[erin-giles.livejournal.com]

Ah, 15min break. 2 mins to read hilarious fic, 13mins to stare at awesome pic... again! It was screaming to be done!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

It certainly was. :)

**snortgiggle**

That was fantastic.....I am hoping we can get Gareth to Dragon*Con this year....several hundred members of the 501st attend....could prove interesting.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I've got a sequal in mind that continues their POV. I thought about throwing in Jack and Vader, but why? You've got Ianto and a squad of Stormtroopers. That's enough for a series right there. Jack and Vader are just gravy.

[jbsnow.livejournal.com]

*giggles* :o)

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Squeee! :D

[likestowrite.livejournal.com]

I love the surrealism of this.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I love surrealism, but I rarely find the right opportunity to indulge in it.

[bella-reeve.livejournal.com]

XDD Crossovers FTW!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

First time I've felt inspired to write Star Wars fic since 1979.

[tiggerbrasilf.livejournal.com]

*giggles* (:

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I know! :D

[fatchickengirl.livejournal.com]

tee-Hee and why does anything that has GDL on his knees make me think very rude thoughts...

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Because the look on his face says, "Just wait until I get you in this position?"

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

oh my god. GEEEEEEEENIUS.

Vader throttles another minion. then feels guilty about it because Ianto's raised his eyebrow a precisely calculated fraction of an inch and he just knows he's going to come out with a dry comment about having to pick up after some people who never learned not to break their toys.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Vader has it coming, doesn't he?

[secbeth.livejournal.com]

LOL! Hunny you gotta do another one!! This is excellent Just like Alien Donuts!!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

The world can always use more Redshirt-fic.

[eumenidis.livejournal.com]

...a *new* valet?

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

There's a high turnover when the Sith Lord feels tetchy. Why do you think they're having to look so far afield in the first place.

[etharei.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAAAA ♥

I was sooo waiting for this fic :D

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Hope it was worth it. :)

[tptigger.livejournal.com]

OMG *dies laughing*

That wins!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[fangrrl-squees.livejournal.com]

I owe you a dollar

(made of WIN!!)

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

May I have it in fic? :P

[absdax.livejournal.com]

heheh! fantastic!
am immagining it now...
Vader's valet...
really dunno weather he would agree to it at all... but then Jack could come to the resue with the whole rebellion at his side...

see he never should have agreed to that one trip in the Tardis!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

The Empire has a way of making people offers they can't refuse....

[ladyharkness.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! I'm so glad someone has used the pure fabulousness of that pic as a prompt.

Now I'm imagining Jack as Han and Owen as Chewie... oh dear!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[bunyip.livejournal.com]

Oh that is just *chortles*

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And thank laligin, Gareth, and the 501st.
