Finn's Fics
(Once again, Finn is my name, not a reference.)
Fics, feelings, and a frankly unreasonable amount of tenderness.
SAS: Rogue Heroes fics, (so far) all modern AU.
Below the cut is everything I’ve written so far: completed, in progress, and planned. I’ll keep this post updated as new things appear.
Everything is on AO3
Music, When Soft Voices Die Complete
(Paddy Mayne/Eoin McGonigal)
Rated: E | Word Count: 96,815
A modern AU following poet Paddy Mayne and musician Eoin McGonigal.
Renowned poet Paddy Mayne isn’t looking for a muse. He finds one anyway in the form of Eoin McGonigal, a local musician who keeps turning his poems into songs.
As Eoin navigates life in a body that no longer behaves the way it once did, and Paddy learns what intimacy looks like when it isn’t driven by expectation, the two of them build something tender, creative, and enduring. Together.
Music, When Soft Voices Die is a story about survival through art, love as collaboration, and learning how to want without fear.
Six Weeks, Three Months, Forever Complete
(Paddy Mayne/Eoin McGonigal)
Rated: E | Word Count: 14,310
Set six months after 'Music, When Soft Voices Die'.
Eoin finally gets a hip replacement that won’t fix everything, but does change a little more than he expected. What follows is recovery, quiet devotion, a month away in the Cotswolds, and the careful reclamation of trust in his body. With Paddy beside him, Eoin learns that healing isn’t about erasing pain—it’s about discovering what is possible now, and getting to choose it.
Somewhere I Have Never Travelled (Standalone fic in a separate universe to all my Soft Voices pieces) Complete
(Paddy Mayne/Eoin McGonigal)
Rating: E | Word Count: 18,145
Paddy goes to David Stirling’s birthday party against his better judgement, fully intending to have one drink, stay out of the way, and leave as soon as he can. Instead, he notices a man on the dance floor.
Paddy does not, as a rule, watch people. He certainly does not, as a rule, cross a room to speak with them. And he does not, under any circumstances, invite them home.
But rules have never served Paddy Mayne particularly well.
Be Near Me When My Light Is Low In Progress (Currently Posting)
(Bill Fraser/Augustin Jordan)
Rating: E | Word Count: TBA
A companion to Music, When Soft Voices Die following Bill Fraser and Augustin Jordan.
Bill Fraser doesn’t fall in love. He did it once, and it ended in tragedy. Now he survives, he copes, and he looks after everyone else.
He's built a life around routine, responsibility, and the people who depend on him. Falling in love again is absolutely not part of the plan. Then Augustin shows up, patient and unexpected, and Bill discovered that healing doesn't mean letting go of the past—it means making room for something new.
A slow-burn romance about grief, care, and choosing connection.
And Indeed, There Will Be Time Planned
(Johnny Cooper/Reg Seekings)
Rating: TBA | Word Count: TBA
Johnny and Reg in the Soft Voices universe, finally under the microscope.
