I'm really craving sort of an introspective piece for this one, preferably Iselle looking back on everything Cazaril has done for her. But if you have a great idea of your own, feel free to use it. I'll love anything from this subject.
( Iselle was working on many things. )

Summary: In which there are consequences for prior actions, Mycroft Holmes has his manicured fingers in a few too many pies, and Jo Watson negotiates civilian life with mixed success.
Please do note that this is an ongoing series, and this instalment provides neither a beginning nor a tidy wrap-up. It is, in fact, very middly! It picks up some weeks after the events in Boston Marriage.
Chapter One: First Report of Dr Watson
Chapter Two: The Women Concerned in the Case

Please do note, just for the record, that this isn't a self-contained story; plot threads will be left unresolved for later casefic. It picks up some weeks after Boston Marriage and relies heavily on events in Doyle's canon.

Summary: In which the Dendarii Free Mercenaries go somewhat beyond the bounds of their mission, the Queen of Attolia gains an admirer, and the chickens of Aral Vorkosigan's misspent youth come home to, er, roost. Crack-fic or crossover of alarming plausibility? You decide!

Feb. 5th, 2011 12:05 amTitle: The Best Interest of Nations
Fandom: Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series.
Length: 18,000 words
Timeline: During and soon after The King of Attolia
Spoilers: For the first three books and the HarperCollins blurb for A Conspiracy of Kings
Rating: T, for some violence
Notes: The discovery of a bronze pen-nib in the ruins of Pompeii indicates that metal pens were in use as early as the first century AD, but they did not become popular until much later than the Byzantine period, and so it seems likely that the characters in The Thief and its sequels would have used quills. Ms. Turner has gone to great pains to assure her readers that the chronology of her world is not quite the same as ours, and as a goose-feather wouldn’t stand up to the magus’ rather unorthodox use of the pen in question, I decided to take a little historical license.
Summary: In which a story is told, swords are drawn, and adventures are planned, but nobody arranges a cart.
Part I: ( The gods are not swayed as we are by the pangs of love, nor are their affections and loyalties very much like ours, but some take an interest in these curious mortal preoccupations. )
