    Summary

    "He doesn't realise he's crying until his shaky sobs dislodge some more of the earth, and mud pools fresh around his legs. He can see a hand sticking out of it - skin clean and smooth like that of a boy. God, he doesn't want to be here with all these dead men. Aramis believes in God and angels, but does he believe in ghosts? Does he believe that these men might be angry with him, because he's alive and they are not? Does he believe they'll come for him?

    There's something moving out there. If it's the Germans pushing forwards they'll likely throw a grenade down to clear the crater without even stopping to see him. If it's Marsac he might get shot by either side, stumbling around in the darkness. If it's the dead, come for Aramis…

    There's nothing he can do but wait. All his prayers are gone. Aramis closes his eyes, and thinks of snow."

    It's 1916, and Aramis, Athos, Porthos and d'Artagnan are about to meet on the battlefields of France. (This is a prequel to the idea that bit me, Mausii, akathecentimetre and agarthanguide in the butt many moons ago: what if the Musketeers were battle-scarred gardeners in a 1920s mansion owned by Treville and his niece Ninon? Stick with me, it works...)

    Summary

    In one universe, Robin Ellacott moves to London and ends up temping for a small private detective agency on the brink of dissolution, and grows into various roles – secretary, junior partner, partner, ex-fiancée, ex-wife and, for some reason, best friend.

    In another universe, this isn't the case at all.

    Summary

    “Please, will you let me?”
    He asks, hands on her knees, pushing them apart an inch.

    He said ‘please’.

    Her thoughts are cloudy.

    This is what Anthony Lockwood fantasises about.

    Not his own needs, but instead, pleasuring her?

    It was enough to make a girl crumble.

    She can only manage a nod of approval.

    ***

    Basically Anthony Lockwood is a munch because I said so !
    A first kiss and hookup fic, spicy but with very caring undertones because we love a healthy sexual relationship !😌

    Characters are older here, 18 and 19

    Summary

    “So, you’re taking Lucy and not me for the manpower?”

    “Er, partly.” Lockwood grimaces. “But mostly because the party is for married couples only and no offense George, but you’re not my type.”

    Lucy chokes on an unfortunately timed sip of tea.

    “I am offended, actually.” George says thoughtfully as he bites into his final slice of toast. “But I’ll get over it on my way to the archives to do some more research.”

     

    Or: Lucy and Lockwood go undercover as a fake couple despite their very real feelings.

    Summary

    Dearest Gentlereader,

    The subject that has set the ton abuzz and everyone bereft of answers may soon be coming to its conclusion yet. Naturally, I would hate to have to print any retraction however, it seems this writer, too, may have to reconsider concerning one of the more astonishing matches this season: the one between Viscount Anthony Lockwood and Ms Lucy Carlyle.

    But did our handsome Lord Lockwood finally open his eyes to exactly all he had to lose at the Finchley Ball? Certainly, there can be no other reason for his interference with one of Ms Francesca Bridgerton's potential suitors. Paired with his early calling at Viscount Bridgerton's house two days after and ecstatic exit, perhaps wedding bells may be in Lord Lockwood's future after all... just not with the surely broken-hearted Ms Carlyle.

    After the death of her best friend, Ms Lucy Carlyle is sponsored for the 1815 London season by Norrie's aunt. Instantly compared to the Diamond due to their astonishingly similar looks, she befriends Lord Lockwood quite unexpectedly yet is left wondering if she was a fool for believing he'd look twice at a mere country girl.
