The fortunes of a sailor.

Historical Scottish m/m with war, hurt/comfort and romantic fluff, but not Jacobites this time :D The song Cargill by King Creosote has been my happiest new thing this Yuletide—I picked it up from a fandom rec and then ended up being assigned to write for it. It's a lovely song and I recommend it! And I really enjoyed writing this story, which involved a lot of interesting historical research. :)


The Education of a Magician (2191 words) by regshoe
Chapters: 1/1

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Original Characters
Additional Tags: Worldbuilding, 1990s, Yuletide Treat
Summary:

York, 1997. A schoolteacher reads a peculiar essay on the history of Faerie.

Some JSMN worldbuilding! I don't usually write much modern anything, so it was an interesting and enjoyable experiment taking the world of JSMN through into the 1990s.


On That One Spot of Earth (2072 words) by regshoe
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Flight of the Heron - D. K. Broster

Additional Tags: Growing Old Together, Botany, Yuletide Treat
Summary:

Keith Windham reflects on the surroundings and occupations of a peaceful retirement.

The least anonymous exchange fic I've posted, I think :) My FotH fic had been getting steadily more angsty over time, so it was great fun writing something uncomplicatedly happy and fluffy for my favourite OT3, Ewen/Keith/Ardroy. And some fun historical stuff as well!


Concerning the Language of Birds (1286 words) by regshoe
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Piranesi - Susanna Clarke
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sixteen | Sarah Raphael, Piranesi | Matthew Rose Sorensen

Summary:

Sarah Raphael gets to know the inhabitants of the House.

Finally, this little experiment inspired by the bird life of Piranesi and a certain ornithological passage from Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

My initial thoughts...

( SPOILERS WITHIN )

Anyway—this book has made me remember how much I love Susanna Clarke's writing, and now I really want to get back into Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell fandom (where is it happening these days—Tumblr, Discord? I feel out of touch). I was writing a bit of historical RPF about John Uskglass the other day, perhaps I'll pick that up again...
