Court Jester fic

For the thoroughly evil prompt of 'jester' on muse_prompts. Do you people realise how many jesters and fools I've fallen in love with over the years? But I always did have a soft spot for this one. Danny Kaye is awesome as Hubert.

Title: Jester's Chief Employment
Rating: PG
Fandom: The Court Jester (1955)
Characters/Pairings: Hubert Hawkins, mention of Hubert/Jean
Summary: "And I found out soon that to be a buffoon is a serious thing as a rule. For a jester's chief employment is to kill himself for your enjoyment, and a jester unemployed is nobody's fool."  Hubert decides maybe that wasn't the wisest thing he's ever said ...

Again prompted by 'jester' at muse_prompts. Loki always struck me as the proto-jester, using the other gods laughing at him as a weapon.

Wordcount:  646
Disclaimer:  Not mine. Not even the cross-dressing. Thor really did that. Thrym really fell for it. *shrugs* Giants. What can you do?
