The Queen of Gondal - AJHall - Gondal - Bronte children, Sherlock (TV)
january 2012 by esther_a
This is a quasi-historical AU of the BBC Sherlock series set (more or less) in three fantasy kingdoms devised by the Bronte children.
The time period is roughly the late seventeenth century and readers should bear in mind that this saga contains the doings of a set of supremely dysfunctional more-or-less European Royal families steeped in the "divine right of kings" ideology of monarchy, filtered through an early nineteenth century Romantic/Gothick sensibility and then depicted using the freedom of expression afforded by the early twenty-first century internet.
Furthermore, if the Greek myths contemplated it, some member of the Royal houses of Gondal, Angria or Gaaldine has probably put it into practice somewhere. (91,931 words)

metisket | the balance of devotion - part 1/2
december 2011 by esther_a
This is Giotto/G. I figure Giotto and G for being very like Tsuna and Gokudera if they’d grown up together and always had the security of knowing the other one was around. Which would probably make for more stable personalities, higher self-esteem…a disturbingly codependent relationship…
My futile attempts to impose logic on this series continue unabated, and so the fic is set around 1875.

Bertie Wooster's in the supernatural soup! After a swinging party in New York leaves him accidentally affianced to an elven heiress with more than the usual amount of matrimonial influence to throw around, where's a young gent to turn? Why, to old acquaintance Harold 'Mimsy' Dresden, part time investigator, part time stage magician, full time wizard. Together they'll have to scuttle Bertie's engagement and solve the mystery of a missing sword that could completely upend the New York social scene. In their corner they have their manservants--the inimitable Jeeves and the Machiavellian Johnson--as well as a tiny bouncer, a massive bookseller, and a shady informant who likes his payment in dirty novels. Arrayed against them are Mimsy's parole officer and Bertie's fellow suitors. Oh, and the entire might of the Old Families, those inscrutable Unseelie socialites who can't touch iron and won't ever let you out of a debt... or an engagement.

Comes a Horseman (1 of 2)
july 2011 by esther_a
This is written in an alternate universe where Sarah and Adam are alive. If that doesn't interest you, read no further. I wanted a universe to explore the relationship between Vin and Sarah (NOT romantically) and Vin and Adam. Vin is a little younger here, although I have listed no ages. The meeting of the seven is completely different from the show, there are some plot lines carried over and others dismissed. Plain and simple - I just had fun with it. All are welcome to play along. Anyway, it's the K-girl's favorite, so this is for her.
