The author is definitely writing Raoul *as* Norrington -- I'm pretty certain some of those lines are quoted verbatim. Which really isn't in character for Raoul (much as I like Norrington: A Fine Woman was the first thing I posted on fanfiction.net), but then when did that ever worry this author?
On past precedent, I think she simply doesn't know what 'smirking' means :-p
Parody rarely works for me, but I definitely enjoyed "The Happy Ending Stealers" (and even more after having read some of the typical fan-fiction of the period...) And I loved it when the Scarlet Pimpernel turned up!
"Marius thought longingly of his beloved Cosette, who always utilized proper grammatical structures" :-D
"Why pink?" Philippe wanted to know. "Why not?" the Scarlet Pimpernel replied. "I, myself, would've preferred the castle to be scarlet, but I speak from my own personal prejudices."
"All those present immediately crossed themselves like the good Catholics people tend to forget they are, though it was still unclear if the Scarlet Pimpernel was Protestant or not" :-D
"I'm going to be sick," Erik mumbled as he dashed over to the railing of the ship. "That's not a lesson," Eponine objected. "That was more of an unneeded comment," Sir Percy remarked dryly. "Thank you for sharing, dear Phantom." :-P
