Omg thank you for this it brings me such joy. The next chapter is brewing and stewing and fermenting with great intensity and will hopefully be ready by the time July rolls around.

I am a very slow writer but I appreciate knowing there are people out there waiting to see what happens next!

Hello! Just wanted to say that I've slowly but surely been making my way through all of your P&P AUs (I was way too excited when I realised that there was a Temeraire crossover) and I just wanted to say that your stories are so incredible - from the pacing and action to the dialogue and romance. You have such a remarkable grasp on the social satire of the era too. Honestly, you've made Elizabeth/Colonel Fitzwilliam into such a genuinely heartwarming pairing and have entirely converted me to their cause! Thank you so much for writing these!

oh my gosh!! Thank YOU so much for the kind comment!!

Oooh yay thank you!!

Here’s a little snippet from “An Ever Fixed Mark,” which is the fic I was working on for NaNoWriMo and is… still in progress… 😅 it’s a little longer than the required one line but… oh well 😬💖

One arm was crossed over his chest plate, the other resting against it, so that he could hold the necklace Luke had pressed into his hand up for further inspection.

“This’ll help hide you,” Luke had said, handing Din a small wooden charm looped on a leather cord, worn smooth by time and use. “I’ve enchanted it– if you stay still, no one should notice you, even out in the open.”

Send me a rose 🌹 and I’ll post a line (or more, tbh) from a WIP I’m working on!

An Ever Fixed Mark

Chapter 9: Foregone Conclusion

Lily has been dreaming of thestrals. 

Almost nightly, for three weeks, the creak and stretch of wide leathery wings and taut hides that hid sharp bones permeated the lucid visions and vivid scenes of her unconscious hours. She’d been dreaming of a warm damp cave in the centre of a snow covered mountain at the heart of a forest. Of a deep crevice and curtain of water that held the voices of long dead souls. 

She kept dreaming of a little boy. Sometimes he was a round faced-baby. Sometimes he was a skinny young man in oversized clothes. Big green eyes set beneath a mess of black hair. He seemed familiar and yet entirely unknown. 

Disjointed flashes cracked along her mind’s eye. It didn’t show her anything of substance, but it perfused her with a welling feeling, an aching longing. Something in her heart yearned for something she couldn't identify. And just as she seemed close to grasping some meaning, understanding who the little boy with green eyes was, a sharp twinge in the scar that ran across her abdomen would pull her resolutely back to consciousness. 

Back to the tedious reality of her life where all memories of verdant eyes and curly black hair and the blinding flash of green light would evaporate.

I'm absolutely DYING for the new An Ever Fixed Mark update? Any chance we'll get one? :))

Hello beloved inquirer. It’s like you felt my typing in the ethers as I rework this chapter 90375 times. If the week goes according to plan it will be done by the weekend 👀👀👀 pray to whatever deity you see fit on my behalf I need the support 🫶🏼

An Ever Fixed Mark

Chapter 8: Drink Down All Unkindness

Read the whole thing on ao3 here!

She had to admit, she was mildly surprised to see how neat the their dorm was as James ushered them inside. As soon as he locked the door behind them, she became unaccountably nervous. She walked carefully to where Peter, Mary, Remus and Sirius were already sitting on the floor. 

Remus grinned at her and leaned over as she sat down beside him. “I’m sorry.”

“No you’re not.” She huffed.

“No, I’m not.” He agreed.  

“Oi, make room,” James ordered, pushing himself between Remus and Lily. 

“Ow! I’m moving! ” Remus complained against James’s enthusiastic use of his elbows. “Christ!”

 Sirius was shuffling a deck of well worn muggle cards, his dull silver rings glinting in the soft lamp light. 

“Alright, birthday girl, the game is Wizard’s Cup and we take no prisoners.”

I love An Ever Fixed Mark so bad!! I wanna know more about James and Lily's dynamic in school and how that lead to them being where they are. Love the flashback bits especially. So excited to see where you take their relationship in the Order era!

ahhh! thank you for this!! I have so many hogwarts flashbacks planned for the next few chapters so I hope you'll enjoy them! I have to warn you though, its gonna get rough before it gets better <3

Any chance you’re gonna update An Ever Fixed Mark soon? I absolutely love it! 💗 No pressure, btw.

Dear sweet beautiful anon thank you for asking. It genuinely brings me so much joy that there are people out there enjoying this fic 🥹🥹

I am currently working on a chapter update for Death, and Other Origin Stories— and the moment that is posted (hopefully this week) I’ll be working on finishing the next chapter of AEFM, which is 80% finished.

I never feel pressured about being asked for updates, it honestly gives me so much motivation, so thank you!!
