Fic: Jericho - Iemand in de watten leggen/A Little TLC - General (Dutch and English versions)

So, I've been learning Dutch (because I'm going to visit scribblesinink this summer). Which is possibly entirely unnecessary, but my brain likes a challenge. Apparently my muses also like a challenge. Although I'm only in week 3 of my course, they decided I really needed to practise my Dutch by writing fanfic in Dutch....

I had to take some sneak peaks ahead to weeks 4 and 5 for some things and also needed something from week 8, although I didn't realize that until I got the fic betaed. But I proudly give you (with huge thanks to scribblesinink for her patience in answering questions about her language, suggesting the title and betaing the Dutch version for me and thereby vastly improving it):

Iemand in de watten leggen/A Little TLC

Samenvatting/Summary: Heather is ziek. Jake heeft een plan om haar beter te maken./Heather is sick. Jake has a plan to make her feel better.

( In het Nederlands )

( In English )

Some days my muses need a restraining order....

I'm going to be visiting scribblesinink this summer, so I've started learning Dutch. This is probably not entirely necessary, since pretty much everyone in the Netherlands speaks English, but it means I shouldn't need to bother scribblesinink every time I can't read a label in a museum (even if she's currently being very bothered with questions while I'm learning). Also, I like learning new things and keeping my brain ticking over, and I'm a bit sad that I've rather let the other languages I've learned lapse. It also means scribblesinink can share interesting things she finds in Dutch with me more easily.

Anyway... I guess you can see what's coming next. "Hey!" say my muses. "That new language you're learning? Wouldn't it be really cool if you got some extra practice in it by writing fanfic in it?"

I should point out here that I've been learning this language for two and a half weeks....

*facepalm*

Anyway, so I humbly present My First Dutch Fanfic (because I suspect my muses aren't going to let this alone and there may be more):

Iemand in de watten leggen/A Little TLC (Jericho - Jake/Heather - General)
Heather is ziek. Jake heeft een plan om haar beter te maken./Heather is sick. Jake has a plan to make her feel better.
