Enjoy responsibly. I'm going to go and hide now that I'm hanging my quill or whatever it is you do with metaphorical quills when taking an indefinite break.

Watch the rating before you jump in. Not your thing? Feel free to skip. You won’t miss plot, just character growth. and maybe a few well-earned sighs. But this was requested—and frankly, they earned it.

Revenge is not the way to enlightenment, kids, but this is fiction.

More tropes! And more Bridgertons!

This is a spy fic with baddies shooting at good guys and viceversa. Beware of the consequences such things may have in fics. Also? No, I wouldn't hurt them permanently. Others? Mmmaybe

No actual buildings were damaged for the writing of the chapter (but I do exactly which ones I'd like to remodel).

Might be a one-shot. Might not. Dunno. Have fun.

The diamond’s wedding draws the eyes of the ton—but it is not the bride who steals Anthony’s breath. There’s vows, ceremony and a fate that burns brighter than duty itself.

In which Viscount Bridgerton finds himself caught between what he thought he wanted and the price of what he truly craves. Spoiler: it’s not simple.

Anthony dances (reluctantly), combusts (quietly), and turns pointed insults into Regency-appropriate foreplay. The frustration is mutual; the restraint criminal.

I think you broke me a little bit with this story.

And yes, we're sticking to Anthony's POV for this story.

It's Regency, which is not very me, but it's also AU, which is very me.

(Been thinking about this after watching a review for a movie that I know has A LOT of room for improvement and yet I think works for what it is intended to be. Why do people need to drag things that are supposed to be fun, esp. if they are for a different audience?)

While I agree that some things are objectively bad, it would be great if people stopped and asked "is this for me?" or even "am I evaluating this under valid standards?" before making a verdict. Opinions are welcome, but full on dismissals should be better justified.

It is a weird law of the universe that you'll proof-read your draft eleventy-seven times, and the moment you post it, you´ll find at least three errors.

If it feels like it's getting steamy, and you don't like steam, I recommend you get out.
Other than that, first thing in the morning, as advertised.

A crippling lack of tact when pushed to the limit. Yup.

I know OB1 is a classic, but I'm partial to "it only takes a taste". And I've never started on Plan Bee precisely because I'm afraid I'll love it and won't ever read the end. Heh...

Hello!
20 - 2013
29 - Hate it. I usually avoid chapter titles altogether, and my working titles have nothing to do with the actual story (TLWSAI's working title was "Trainers"). Eventually, I think of something that reminds me of the underlying theme of the story.
Thanks for asking.

Hi there.
12 - Don't know if it's a trope, but "he's slightly intimidated by her" will always have my heart.
28 - Scene transitions. Making them feel natural always takes me a lot of work.
Thanks for asking!

Hi there. I have a half-baked idea about a period piece in which Anthony has to marry Sheffield's granddaughter to secure the safety of Aubrey. Maybe I'll get around to it someday.
Thanks for asking!

Also, fun stuff from @starksfelling.bsky.social
('Cause it's a "holiday", and I'm officially done editing)
