Let This Cup Pass | OrchidScript Demonic Possession AU, posting once a week through the end of October. Mind the tags. archiveofourown.org/works/715458...

Swords, con artists & arranged marriages. SWORDCROSSED by @freyamarske.bsky.social is out in paperback! It’s a super fun, fast-paced romantacy, perfect for fans of low-conflict, queer & cozy fantasy romance, secrets, swords & smut. Sound like fun? Grab a copy here: proud-geek.co.uk/product-page...

Current goal: finish the part one of the possession AU by Friday. Sitting at 16,220 words, and I’m posed to do way more. It’ll be split because a 30,000 word oneshot makes my ADD cringe. I think I am going to post it. I’m proud of it, and if I get blacklisted well… it’s been nice knowing y’all! 😉

Some Sentences Sunday!! Possession AU. In which Henry is ill, Shaan is exhausted and angry, and Arthur’s brother kind of wants to throw him into the Nile. #rwrbfic #rwrbwip

My new thing is posting fanart when I’m in A Mood. Today’s edition: Henry Fox circa 1917 as illustrated by @seanchaidh7.bsky.social From Henry’s first scene in my WWI era fic, Coquelicots, written for the Royally Big Bang in 2024 #rwrbfic #rwrbsky archiveofourown.org/works/595466...

The Fox’s Bargain | OrchidScript 🐍 1920s Archeologists AU 🐍 Medium-slow burn 🐍 Ancient Maya sites 🐍 Henry hiding in plain sight 🐍 Shaan Srivastava — Local Badass My ultimate example of “write what you want to read and see what happens.” archiveofourown.org/works/497609...

Stand by for reblogging/reposting all my very long fics here this afternoon. Brace for impact, y’all ;)

if anyone needs book-length fics for the Friday blackout, hit me up. I’ve got at least 11. (this feels vaguely icky. might delete later…)

Happy Birthday to the most chaotic Philadelphian amongst us. The Flyers unveiled their new mascot Gritty on September 24, 2018, and Philly — no, the world — was never the same. www.phillymag.com/news/2019/01...

In the aftermath of the shipwreck, France was scandalized by what had happened as the details emerged. And artist Théodore Géricault became obsessed with it. Listen here: omny.fm/shows/stuff-...

Today is the perfect day to support Latine-owned bookstores, authors, and stories 🧡

Dare I post a #SundaySnippet? I think I do? “You want so badly, don’t you?” Shaan’s contorted voice slid up around his ears, drawing Henry’s focus again. “To taste. To touch.” The finger slid back and forth, side to side, across the petal-smooth skin. “To open your mouth, and let me in…” #rwrbfic

Reposting with the obligatory “Regency Wedgie Photo” (fashion plate for time period reference)

Austen Autumn 2025, now with a dress that actually fits properly. Now, onto Crimson Peak Victorian vibes ;)

A bunch of first graders were very insistent that I watch KPop Demon Hunters this weekend. So, I have my Sunday plans lol ;)

Very enamored with this mental image… but when am I not enamored with Dev Patel?

“I’ll be 10 min late sorry!!!” -ashamed -fragile -unreliable “A thousand apologies. The relentless slog of time has overtaken my faculties.” -powerful -commanding -honest

As expected, my fic that takes place on a train has many options… so I picked my favorite :) Someday, I’ll reupload this fic again. #rwrbfic #wipwednesday

Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton is known as one of the earliest Mexican-American authors published in English, and her life story is tied closely to the Mexican-American war and the establishment of California as a state. Listen here: omny.fm/shows/stuff-...

Thanks to Tumblr, I have learned about a line of Christian dolls that were supposed to be an alternative to American Girls dolls. Why am I telling you? Because the fundamentalist dolls have a hysterical defect where their eyes turn pink or red when left in direct sunlight for too long.

Hello RWRB fans! Below is a form to submit recs for Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month! Just a little project to show love to mi gente latino ❤️ I will be sharing the full list this weekend!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

“Henry kissed him hard. Alex held his waist as he felt the earth tilt under him. ‘You don’t know what you’ve given me, do you?’ ‘I think I do.’ Alex grinned, dazed…” Happy 3rd Birthday, Omakase. I wouldn’t be writing today without having written you 💜 #rwrbfic

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

Style lessons from Robert Redford, one of the most stylish men in the last century. 🧵

My goal for September was to not post anything new. And I’ve gotten exactly half way through the month, which feels like a win. Only problem is now I’m tempted to keep going; this slower pace is suiting me very much.

As it's Agatha Christie's birthday, I suppose you're wondering why I've gathered you all here...
