New blog

This one is going silent for a while. New blog going up for fic writing and reblogging, and for fanart. Mostly Downton, but with the occasional Lovejoy mixed in. Feel free to give a follow if you like. @csota I will be back to this one someday, but taking a break for now. xxx

[chelsiesouloftheabbey]

I’m so sorry to the people who followed me today - try it again now that I have deleted and reinstated the new blog, please! See above. (Had to set up an entirely new profile as opposed to deleting this blog forever, which I don’t want to do.) csota.tumblr.com 

Thanks!

Chapter 13 is here, yes, already. Because I’m nuts and can’t leave anyone hanging, including myself. Enjoy!

Just when I think he can’t get any better…this. Guh. Is it weird I like him wearing a collar? ⛪️💘

[chelsie-carson]

Not weird at all, @belovedrival! I totally get it.

Two Teddy Bears, Many Years Later

“Real isn’t how you are made,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.’ ‘Does it hurt?’ asked the Rabbit. ‘Sometimes,’ said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. ‘When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.’ ‘Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,’ he asked, ‘or bit by bit?’ ‘It doesn’t happen all at once,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” ― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

Proud owner of a “real” bear!

Ohh @elliehopaunt 😘

[chelsiesouloftheabbey]

Good grief, I’m planning a NaNo. I blame @kouw … and @mistressdickens, who gave me the idea for the project when I finished writing Music of Our Lives.

[mistressdickens]

Good grief! I don’t remember ANY prompts I might have made, especially THAT far back.

[chelsiesouloftheabbey]

Haha @mistressdickens not a specific prompt. I messaged you so as not to give it away just yet.

“Jolene, you’re so beautiful, Jolene, you’re so perfect, Jolene, your voice is just like the sound of summer rain, don’t mind me I’m just going to sublimate my anxiety about clearly being super in love with you into anxiety about my boyfriend, who is basically a featureless blob in this song that I wrote ostensibly about my love for him that’s really all about you, Jolene”

Here is Chapter 12. Thanks for reading, reviewing, re-blogging. ;-)

[chelsie-carson]

Happy Birthday, @belovedrival! Hope you’re having a stellar day!

[belovedrival]

John and Anna's wedding. Anna gets a surprise gift, and Thomas has a revelation.

And a lot, a lot, a LOT of other stuff happens. Actually, so much happened, there are two other chapters to read after this one. 

Yes, in total, there’s three. Count ‘em, THREE.

This is also a submission for @chelsie-prompts challenge “Dancing”. Also, this is my first attempt to try to write something from Banna’s perspective so please let me know what you think of it! I hope I do them justice. 

I hope you all enjoy this. I really could not do any of this without you all. Thank you!

Consider this my gift to you…

Their eyes met at the same time as their hands found each other, and they burst out laughing out of sheer joy. Anna’s fingers trembled. She bound her left hand to John’s right with the vine she had cut earlier.

John was shaking with an overwhelming sense of elation. He hardly knew how his feet stayed on the ground.

Two temple girls stood on either side of the couple, holding small lit oil lamps.

“Shall we begin?” Isobel asked. The priestess smiled when the bride and groom turned to her in surprise. They both looked as though they had forgotten anyone else was there.

A change of plans

excerpt:  After inspecting the bedrooms and bathroom, Charles and Elsie Carson stand in the parlour hand in hand and don’t say anything. The atmosphere is heavy with their silence. There’s not even a clock ticking to slice through the thick cloud that surrounds them. When he finally speaks, it’s paired with a small squeeze to her hand.

[chelsiesouloftheabbey]

I. Love. This.

Lovejoy fic update!!

From my dear friend @ladyaureliacrawley who is never on tumblr anymore, so I’m posting it for her. It’s SO GOOD - I think it’s the only non-DA fic I even read.
