hi! i loved the recent "poor jack" post and was wondering if there's a similar one for phryne? basically just a collection where she's hurt/injured/sick/etc. thanks!!
In Sickness And In Health
Way back in December we did indeed do a post on ‘poor jack’, there wasn’t one for Phryne but now - thanks to you Anon - there is!
Flu/Cold
Chaff and Grain Together (2015) by @gaslightgallows - Even the most amazing and wonderful of detectives can be laid low by a cold.
But Come What May (I Do Adore Thee So) (reposted 2017) by @firesign23 - Jack follows Phryne to London, but what he finds is very different from what he expected.
The Great Escape (2018) by @scruggzi - Phryne’s convalescing from a bad bout of influenza and after weeks in bed her boudoir is starting to feel like a very hostile environment…
Down by the Bay (2015) by beadedslipper - Phryne catches a cold. Jack steps in to nurse her back to health.
Phryne’s Flu (2019) by RositaLG - When Phryne comes down with the flu, Jack visits to help pass the time.
Small Intimacies (2018) by afteriwake - When Phryne gets struck with food poisoning, Jack takes care of her.
Drowning
Breathless (2018) by @adverbally - Phryne Fisher did not give up, she reminded herself as her fingernails scrabbled at the edge of the barrel in search of leverage. Even as her vision began to dim and splinters dug their way into her palms and her movements grew more sluggish without oxygen to fuel them, she continued to struggle against her attacker, hoping against all hope that this wouldn’t be the last fight of her life.
Amnesia
Memory is a Stranger (2014) by detective phryne - When Phryne’s memory is wiped back to the time of her childhood, Jack comes to the rescue.
Shot
A Second Shot (2018) by @whopooh – On the ship in “Unnatural Habits”, Jack fires his gun. But he’s not the only one.
Abduction/Captured
White scarves (2016) by RositaLG - Phryne woke up slowly, her face pressed against a cool metal floor. She could already feel that her face was bruised and swollen, and she was more than certain she had a concussion. She sat up slowly and found herself in a makeshift prison cell, really more of an over-sized cage.
Irrevocably (2015) by beaded slipper - Phryne’s luck was bound to run out sometime. It was only ironic that it happened in a casino of all places.
Physical Injury
Head - Sketchy Details, Clear Hearts (2018) by @mercurialbianca - She had followed the sound of his voice. She could feel her pulse begin to race remembering the running. All the twists and turns. Is it all a dream?
Ankle - Wonderfully Reckless (2018) by hyenateeth - “You need to be more careful,” he scolded, still holding her stocking-clad ankle in his hand.It wasn’ broken, luckily, but it did seem to be badly twisted. Phryne sat above him, perched on the edge of a writing desk, beaded cobalt gown draping over the edge. “And maybe wear more sensible shoes.”
Rib Injury - He Has A Way (2019) by isingonly4myangel - Skidding around a corner, she was suddenly and violently thrown off balance. The man she was chasing had caught her as she came around the wall of the alleyway and used her momentum to throw her to the side. Straight into a waist-high brick wall.
Bruises - Bruises (2018) by @scruggzi – She didn’t often feel this fragile after a fight, but sometimes, once the adrenaline withdrew and she had time to catch up with herself, it would hit her hard. She made a point of not letting anyone see if she could help it.
Broken Leg - Dreams and Murder (2019) by Oracle of Doom - Phryne is more incapacitated than usual, but murder follows where she goes, regardless.
Concussion - Concussion (2016) by PlayfulMay - Phryne’s been hurt, and Jack Robinson finds her. Fluffy angst.
Explosion/Shell Shock
Two’s Company (2017) by @flashofthefuse - It could just have easily been him lying there, Mac knew. In which case, she’d still be standing here, consoling the other half of this unlikely, but somehow inevitable, partnership.
The Best Laid Plans (2017) by RositaLG - Jack and Phryne’s first date gets sidetracked. Mostly hurt/comfort with some case fic sprinkles and a happily ever after cherry on top.
Shell Shocked (2015) by Shamashe - Phryne and Jack are wounded during an investigation and relive a war memory in states of shock. Mac suspects foul play.
Domestic Violence
These fics reference the physical and emotional abuse Phryne endured during her time with Rene and how that experience is part of the person she has become.
What’s Past is Prologue (2016) by LadyRoxie
Not that chained up little person still in love with you (2018) by Meldanya - During Murder in Montparnasse, Phryne can’t sleep after her house has been burgled, as she faces the ghosts of the past.
Ungentle Reminders (2017) by @omgimsarahtoo - Our intrepid detectives are undercover, trying to solve a pair of murders, when their alter egos bring Phryne back to a less happy time.
