Oh God. You just reminded me of the Scarlet Pimpernel clip show, and then my brain melted (which tends to happen when I think of that episode).

So you're not ever going to make a "Cosmopolitan Girl" vid for Hercules, are you? -g-

There isn't that fic. I've looked. All the ones I've found (excepting the odd passing reference), Hercules knows little or nothing about the situation, and I never believed that.
