THE WARDLOW COLLECTION

MISS FISHER'S LIBRARIANS AT YOUR SERVICE

[thewardlowcollection]

Hi! I was wondering what the title of my recently read fanfic where Phryne gets locked up by her mother in her room because she was pregnant. They sent Jack because her family in Melbourne were worried. I don't recall if it was on AO3 or FF because I've been reading a lot. Thanks for the help!

Hello and thank you for your ask! We believe this must be one of the fanfiction.net fics, NancyMay’s A Predicament.

[thewardlowcollection]

Thank you for your wonderful blog! I’m rediscovering MFMM and I swear I read a reunion fic once in which Jack had a traumatizing case and instead of following Phryne after she went to England, she came and met him somewhere. I think he’d been working a serial killer case. It was lovely, thoughtful and slow. If you have any suggestions I’d appreciate it hugely!

Dear Anon, thank you for your question, and for your kind words about this blog!

We think we know which fic you’re looking for: the delightful @edeainfj/deedeeinfj’s “Strong Toil of Grace”. 

It’s definitely worth a reread!

[thewardlowcollection]

Hi! I've seen some older posts with fic recs that mention fics by Sassassam on ao3. The descriptions sound fantastic, but the fics have been removed. Do you maybe know if Sassassam posted their work elsewhere, or if it's still available?

Hi anon, and thank you for your question! No, these fics aren't available anywhere as far as we know.

[thewardlowcollection]

Hi! I was kindly send in your direction :) I'm looking for an oneshot, Jack & Mac, the basic plot is that Jack comes with whisky to Mac in order to convince her to take the recently free coroner's job, especially because she's good and can work with Phyne without complications. I'm pretty sure it was on AO3 but I can't find it anywhere.

Continuation: 

Hey, I'm sorry to bother you again, but I just wanted to say another reader found the Jack & Mac fic I was looking for! It was "You Asked For It" by gaslight_gallows, chapter 9 (part of a big collection) :)

Excellent -- we’re so happy you got help to find it! And “You asked for it” by @gaslightgallows is a great place to find ideas about and scenes from Miss Fisher’s world. 

[thewardlowcollection]

Hi! I’ve been looking for a fic that was probably (and if not it could have been) part of Phrack Fucking Friday, where Phryne and Jack have recently spent a lot of time in a fabric store for a case, and their resulting dirty talk is...fabric related. Short and silly drabble. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, and thank you for this question! 

Yes, we think we know which fic you’re looking for -- @firesign23‘s Taffeta, Darling. 

Enjoy!

[thewardlowcollection]

I love Bert, but I can't seem to find any good Bert x oc or Bert x reader. Do please help.

Hi anon, thank you for your message! This fandom is remarkably low on reader-insert fic – a quick search on AO3 tells us there are two reader-insert fics all in all! That fits well with our memory too; no fics come to mind. 

There are some lovely fics with Bert and minor characters from the show, though – like Bert/Angela Lombard – that are well worth checking out!

@mercurialbianca has a series of Bert/Angela Lombard fics that start with Of Homecomings and Second Chances, and @omgimsarahtoo has one fic set in the same universe with Bert and an original character, Before There Was You.

Hope you enjoy, anon!

[thewardlowcollection]

I was hoping you could help me find a fic i read a long time ago and cant seem to find. The summary, to the best of my memory, is that jack tells phryne not to involve herself in some case but she does anyway and sneaks her way onto a boat only to find jack undercover as the ship captain talking to the bad guys and to maintain his cover and keep her safe jack says that phryne is a prostitute coming to visit him ... or something like that.

Hello anon! 

Yes, we recognize this fic too. It is no longer up on AO3, having been taken down by its writer, so unfortunately we can’t point you in its direction. 

Sorry about that!

[thewardlowcollection]

You’re an absolute wonder when it comes to finding fics! I’m trying to find a fic from Murder Under the Mistletoe where Phryne sneaks into Jack’s room? Could you help me?

Too Great a Risk

“But Jack, if I lock my door, nobody could get in.” 

“It’s too great a risk, Miss Fisher. Lock it tight. Goodnight.”

If ever Phryne looked like she was scheming, this is that moment…

Anon, we think the fic that you are looking for is Snowy Shenanigans (aka Mischief Managed) (2017) by @deverewinterton but for good measure here’s some others where Phryne gets what she wants…

Jack the Lionheart (2018) by justare - Phryne tricks Jack into entering her room, and then locks the door.

A Million (2014) by CollingwoodGirl - Phryne doesn’t sneak into Jack’s room but concerned about his head injury she watches over him as he sleeps.

And, as a ‘Can you believe it’s nearly Christmas?’ bonus, here are some other Murder Under the Mistletoe related fics…

Sweet surprise (2018) by @deverewinterton - Phryne makes unexpected call at Jack’s house the day after their return from the chalet… there is baking…

So Deep You’re Really a Part of Me (2015) by elizajane - Part of a series but possible to read as a standalone. After the Christmas in July celebration Phryne decides it’s time. 

Nerves and Mistletoe (2015) by Dovesummer - a glimpse of Phryne’s thoughts at the Christmas in July party.

Stay For A While (2014) by WeLoveSherlolly - At the chalet Jack is checking everyone is safe. When he gets to her door, Phryne invites him in.

If you are in need of even more festive cheer, check out our Fics of Christmas Past, Part One and Part Two.

Thanks for the ask, Anon, and hopefully you enjoy these even if we haven’t been able to find the exact one you were after. As always if we’ve missed any fics please feel free to link to them in a reblog or comments.

[thewardlowcollection]

What does "Quiltingmom Approved" mean?

When a quiltingmom loves a ship very, very much…

@quiltingmom is a voracious fanfic reader, always ready to cheer on writers, but she really struggles with certain plotlines. Quiltingmom-approved is a joking way to say that a story has a monogamous and happy Phrack, quite often featuring food and smut. Steak and blowjobs. Caviar and cunnilingus. Quiltingmom's a good sport when it comes to our ribbing, and she’s a lady who knows what she likes. 😉

A perfect example of an approved fic is Beneath a Canopy of Rustling Leaves by @glamourpixels, whereas Full of Briars by @firesign23 is probably as far away from Quiltingmom-approved as you can get. 🤣😂🤣

You can find some more examples of Quiltingmom-approved fics at the following links:

Quiltingmom Approved Fics - Part I of IV

Quiltingmom Approved Fics - Part II of IV

Thanks for the ask, Anon and hopefully this explains the term. If anyone has other Quiltingmom-approved fics they would like to share, please feel free to do so in a reblog or comment.

[thewardlowcollection]

Hello hello! So I've been wondering if there are fics where Phryne pretends to be Jack's wife (for fun or, idk, to get into his hospital room, whatever) behind his back and then he finds out and is like hm DARLING WIFE where have I been exactly when we were getting married? And also since I'm already here, any crack fics recommendations? Thank you for your work of running that blog <3

Did I say, “I do”?

Great ask, @phryne-yes, and of course entirely within canon…

Phryne: Surely the Group Captain didn’t say I couldn’t be escorted by my fiance?

Here a few fics that we hope you will enjoy…

Masquerade (2015) by pulpriter, When Jack gets hurt, Phryne is desperate to stay by his side, even if it means telling a little white lie.

In AU Drabbles, Chapter 1 (2018) by @loopyhoopyfrood, Jack is surprised to receive a telegram, turns out he isn’t the only one.

A Short Engagement (2015) by @gaslightgallows. Phryne needs Jack to do her a favour. 

This is a little left-field but in Out of Practice (2018) by Codango, the high school AU where Jack and Phryne are teachers, Jack finds himself a somewhat unwilling participant in a class demonstration.

As for crack fic…

And Then, The End (2018) by Allison_Wonderland

The Very Hungry Inspector (2018) by aurora_australis, @firesign23 and @teaandbanjo

Wardlow Whoopie (2016) by @olderbynow.

What are you going to name the cat, Miss? (2019) by @teaandbanjo​.

and if you’re looking for something a little bit on the naughty side; Godly Pleasures (2017) by @omgimsarahtoo, Consider the Fairer Sex (2019) by titledsyllogism and Chemical Imbalance (2017) by Allikizme.

Thanks for the ask. As always, this is not an exhaustive list so if we’ve missed anyone’s favourites please feel free to let us know via a reblog or comments.

[thewardlowcollection]

Hi, Do you have any recommendations for fics where Phrack is engaging in a lot of teasing and/or are building up to the deed thanks to it being forbidden in the moment (but no cheating). For example, they’re horny in public or they’re playing a game of “person that kisses the other first loses,” or there’s bondage? I always enjoy the building up of tension and foreplay before eventually getting what they want. Thanks!

Forbidden Fruit

We agree there is nothing more delightful than the tension between two people…

Let’s start with some good old-fashioned teasing:

Lock Picking (2017) by Starl8, Phryne bites off more than she can chew but gets her way (sort of) anyway.

At a party Phryne loses patience in Restraint (2018) by DeVereWinterton.

Not quite on point but amusingly related, Improper (2017) by @geenee27

And how about a little wager, or two (or even three)?

The Wager (2012) by soupsouffle.

Truth or Dare? (2015) by RakishAngle (afterdinnerminx) and it’s follow up, Messengers and Forfeits (2015). 

Did somebody say bondage?

Bound (2012) by ladysorka is a fine example of a classic Phryne offer and Jack not accepting… yet.

And if that piqued your interest try, A Not So Innocent Comment (2014) by CollingwoodGirl.

Oh deer, Jack’s left his darbys behind in Australia, luckily he’s A practical resourceful man (2018) by reindeerjumper.

And whilst we’re on the subject of ties… Untitled Tie Fic (2016) by Dispatch22705.

Thanks for the ask Anon. This is by no means an exhaustive list and if anyone has others they want to share please do via comments or reblogs. It may also be worth looking at our previous post Power Play Smut.

[thewardlowcollection]

Sorry Anon, when I tried to save your Ask about the 2019 MFMM Challenge  tumblr defeated me and I lost it. Hopefully this answers your question - OllyJay

Phryne’s Journey - 2019 Challenge

Fear not sweet Anon - there is indeed a 2019 challenge.  

This year we are following Phryne’s journey from Melbourne to London and each month a location and a prompt are posted on tumblr by @missfisherchallenges.​ Using either the location or the prompt as inspiration you are invited to submit a fic, piece of fanart, or meta about the Miss Fisher world and add it to the collection Phryne’s Journey on AO3.

January - Melbourne, Australia

February - Surabaya, Indonesia

March - Singapore

April - Bangkok, Thailand

May - Rangoon, Burma

June - Allahabad, India

July - Bandar Abbas, Iran

August - Baghdad, Iraq

September - Constantinople, Turkey

October - Vienna, Austria

November - London, England

December is the official amnesty month, but if you’ve got a late submission for any of the previous months we won’t tell if you don’t 😘

Another collection that you may want to add to is the Summer of AU also on AO3. Officially this collection closes on 1st September but the lovely @ohrosewhatsinaname has agreed to keep it open till the end of the Australian summer. 

@missfisherchallenges also runs or reblogs one-off events such as fic exchanges and challenges. So keep your eyes peeled for events, and if you wish to run one yourself, make sure to tag them in any post you want reblogged!

[thewardlowcollection]

hi librarians! i was curious, is there any way to know the TOTAL word count of all the MFMM fics posted on A03? i would love to know how many words of fan fic have been written about our favorite detectives. thanks!

Oh Anon, you are a geek after our own hearts. We can indeed tell you how many words of MFMM fanfic have been posted on AO3…

As at 30 June (when OllyJay last updated her spreadsheet) there were:

2507 fics with a total of 12,502,078 words.

The longest fic has 159,480 words, You Asked For It by @gaslightgallows a collection of drabbles and longer-than-drabbles first posted in September 2014 and was last updated in July 2019. (Also see Drop Dead, Gorgeous (2019) by @flashofthefuse with 157,037 words and Days of Wine and Sunflowers by @seldarius which is a fic originally posted on fanfiction.net in 2014 and has 116,931 words.)

The shortest fic is open to interpretation… Technically, at zero words it would be @ollyjayonline‘s Now We’re Talking (2017) a comic-like 4th wall fic where Nathan and Jack have an internal conversation throughout the three series of MFMM but that is a bit of a cheat as the words are embedded in the pics 🤣😂🤣 A far more deserving holder of this title is @teaandbanjo‘s Quick and Dirty (2018). With 48 words - it really is the shortest possible Phrack smut! (Also whilst researching we found this superb piece of fanart by nisiedraws, A Gay Outing (2017). Enjoy!)

Thanks for the Ask, we love this sort of stuff 😘

[thewardlowcollection]

There are also many fics that appear on both FFN and AO3.

The Library only has easy access to these two main platforms but if we are made aware of other repositories we are happy to include those in our posts – just let us know where to find them : )

Number of works by year

Season 1 of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries aired February – May 2012. Season 2 aired September – December 2013. Season 3 aired May to June 2015.

jazzyproz does angst, if you like that sort of thing (and honestly who doesn’t?) 🤣

The Other Whole Against the Sky by Mountainana is a lovely piece to read after angst.

Whilst I adore the excellent research in  Scratch_Pad’s  Money Meta 🤓you should try Imprinted too.

This is My Body, Given For You by musicalmonster99 is a Phryne/Concetta piece.

wombatpop fics are Phryne/Original Character pieces.

Cumquatmarmalade’s Bomb is more than worth a read 💕

[thewardlowcollection]

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.

You may also want to have a look at the fics in the Whumptober Collection.

Thanks for the ask Anon and, as always, if we’ve missed any please share in reblogs or comments.

[thewardlowcollection]

Hello librarians, I don’t know if you already made a post about this but I was wondering if there are some stories where Jack and Phryne are together and Rosie is jealous?

Green-Eyed Monsters

There definitely are! And we’ll recommend some fabulous ones, ranging from wistful to petty, just as soon as we have a little aside.

We, as librarians, are not here to judge anyone for their reading preferences. However, there are some jealous Rosie fics that we are not comfortable recommending due to the deeply misogynistic undercurrents in those stories that run so very counter to the spirit of the show. If that is the level of jealousy you’re looking for, these stories do exist, more heavily on fanfiction.net than ao3, but we won’t be including them in this post.

Now, as for the fics we do suggest…

The Messenger (2013) by girldetective – The mark was placed with calculated precision. Low enough on the neck that the bearer would think it hidden by his collared shirt, high enough that it would be revealed when he turned his head to beckon the waiter.“Rosie? You’re…staring at my neck.” Jack said.Rosie examines the evidence.

A Lot Can Happen in ¾ Time (2014) by CollingwoodGirl – Jack has been invited to Melbourne’s grandest charity ball.Will Jack wear a tux? Of course! Will Rosie be insufferable? Pretty likely. Will Phryne charm all in her wake? Naturally. Will Jack dance? You’ll have to read to find out.Standalone. Set between ‘Dead Air’ and 'Unnatural Habits’.

When Ever the Twain Shall Meet (2015) by Sarahtoo – Rosie, Jack, and Phryne consider their relationships to each other. Chastely. This isn’t that kind of story.

Envy (2019) by ifwednesdaywasaflowerchild – While waiting for a train to her sister’s, Rosie witnesses the reunion of Jack and Phryne, upon the dark-haired detective’s return from England, and sees what she hadn’t been able to see before.

Another Woman’s Husband (2018) by CameraObscura – What if Rosie had suspected Jack of having an affair with Miss Fisher while they were still a couple living together. What if Phryne had actively tried to seduce a married Jack?

And after all the obstacles (2017) by RubyCaspar – Rosie is attending a garden party in Ballarat when she is introduced to fellow guest, Archie Jones.

Almost (2017) by orphan_account – Of course Rosie had heard the rumors about Jack and Miss Fisher, and rejected them out of hand. But a moment glimpsed at the Abbotsford / West Melbourne footy match gives her pause.

What Comfort in Truth (2017) by orphan_account – Rosie returns to Melbourne to testify at Sidney Fletcher’s trial and unexpectedly lodges for the night at Wardlow. While there, she asks Jack an uncomfortable question. My second entry for this month’s challenge prompt.

As always, if you have other suggestions for fics of this nature, please reply or reblog with the details!

[thewardlowcollection]

That fantastic exchange between Dot and Hugh in episode 2.07, Blood at the Wheel ("It's a lot harder than operating your sewing machine, Dottie." "I'd like to see you manage my sewing machine, Hugh Collins!") got me wondering: do any fics exist where Dot shows Hugh how to operate her sewing machine, and maybe Hugh offers to teach Dot how to drive? :) (I know there's fanon about Phryne teaching Dot to drive, but I suspect Hugh would be more patient a teacher.)

So, a funny thing happened…

The Librarians didn’t know of any fics that matched the first part of this ask, and delayed answering as we debated how to organise asks like this so that they can be easily accessible prompts. (The answer to that is still under discussion, we’re afraid.) While we were dithering, Quailitea posted Needled (2019), which involved a sewing Hugh. As for Hugh teaching Dot how to drive, @teaandbanjo‘s aptly named Dotty Learns To Drive (2017) might scratch that itch for you.

As always, if our readers have suggestions of fics we’ve missed, we’d love to hear them! Reply or reblog this post and spread the MFMM fic love!
