fleurs de lis

in 1785, the French court is in full bloom; pearl & sugardust, enamel & plumes, it is the dessert on god's table. but no silver spires can be built without injustice without blood seeping through stone. and in the street, retribution smolders. [mobile navigation]

potential fcs for the crown princess of spain? also are there any personalities you’d like to see more in the group?

For FCs, you can always browse our fc help tag, but on the top off my head I’d love to see Medalion Rahimi, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ruth Negga or Marina Moschen ! As for personalities, I think that’ s entirely something a writer should work out on its own, perhaps see where the muse leads them after the first interactions. Whatever it is, we welcome all tropes & constellations of traits.

Thank you for your words ! We would love her as the Crown Princess of Spain, in France as per a diplomatic visit. For revolutionary, we could see as Charlotte Corday or Pauline Léon.

is there anywhere you could see Kate Beckinsale fitting?

I would see her as Madame Rohan, Governess to the Royal children; or perhaps Fanny de Beauharnais, poet & salon-holder for the intelligentsia of Paris. Whatever you decide, we would love her face on the dashboard, lovely !
