Guess who actually wrote more Idyll after  two years of  writers block/apathy/ er...creative reconfiguring !

*pictured - creative reconfiguring in process*

I think this one is best summed up with ....

...since my last update, but here it is! The continuing adventures of Lizzie Lowndes!

Sadly, no Simcoe in this chapter, as Anna is left struggling with the tragic aftermath of her husbands death. But the Lieutenant is lurking, as always, hopefully  waving a sheaf of poetry in Lizzie’s direction...

TFW: you can actually see the end of that chapter for your fic you haven’t written since Turn Season 4 ended....

Apologies for the  awfully long break in between chapters! I hope this makes up for it - the long awaited ‘Anna and Hewlett’ meeting  - over the body of her extremely late husband.

No Simcoe, I’m afraid, this chapter - but there is Kennock earning his merit badge for 18th Century Pathology - which I know @calamity-bean will be pleased to hear.

Autumn OTP Asks, Answered!

Welp my lovely guys @snapdragonroar and @tavsancuk I LOVE LOVE LOVED these asks so much I ended up combining the two and writing a mini-fluff fic, complete with Hero on a Horse and creepy Halloween feels too. I hope you enjoy!

WIP writing...

When you’re writing what was going to be a straightfoward ‘Hewlett turns detective’ scene, and it turns into a “meet-cute” shot of fiesty Annlett - right over the still cooling body of her husband.

Ah, romance. Also I appear to not be over Season 4. Next Chapter of  An Idyll in Gunpowder should be interesting!

@entropy345, @calamity-bean, @badsurfer - I hope this meets with your approval?

A Genteel Introduction: A Turn: Washington Spies Drabble (Idyll in Gunpowder Universe)

 The ever-talented @mercurygray and myself absolutely loved Lola in episode 7 of Turn. She’s smart, beautiful, emotionally intelligent and clearly deserves a spot on Harlots in a fancy brothel with a good storyline and character development - rather than a bit-part and a tent in Holy Ground. Which got us both thinking - What would Lola make of a certain paintbrush-wielding dork I write about? So we both had a very enjoyable tag team writing session which resulted in this. All credit to  @mercurygray for being awesome and writing with me.

There’s a few tiny future Idyll plotline spoilers in here, but nothing major...

A Murder In Progress

Oh, Selah. Selah, Selah, Selah. *shakes head sorrowfully* Where do I even begin?

I am so, so sorry it had to come to this. I liked you! You were so nicely snarky back in Season 1 when we first saw you mocking Abe’s incompetent cabbage farming. If we’d seen a little more of you in any other season, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation right now.

But you see, dear - Hewlett happened, whilst you were away. And  I’m deeply sorry for it, but he’s just more interesting, as a character. More fun to write, more layered - and, much more importantly, more respectful of Anna’s abilities and daring.

But on the bright side, I’m saving you the Jersey! All that Season 1 suffering and punishment. It’s better this way, darling. Really. I’m giving you the dignity of an actual exit, rather than just forgetting about you for two or three seasons. Off you go... to the great Congress in the sky.

And... Chapter 15 is finally up!  Apologies for taking so long, but I have an excuse -this is longer than my normal chapters, which tend to be a quick 5000-7000 at the most. This behemoth stretched out into 10,068 words because I wanted to make characters (any myself, apparently) really suffer this time around. Ridiculous fluff and angst abounds. Enjoy

The ever wonderful @mercurygray has been hard at work and just posted chapter 2 of our collaborative Roman TURN AU fic. Now with added bathtub scenes, fresco-painting, and enough indecency to furnish a whole 18th century satiric print-shop. And what AU universe would be complete without a cameo from Merc's much admired Lavinia?
