Temperance? I'd read anything but most curious about Private Detectives <.< :)

Aziraphale/Crowley | Pining | FR12 | 2,010 words     London 1989. Aziraphale moonlights as a PI and runs into Crowley at a gay bar. Title is from Bon Jovi's 'Keep the Faith'. I hope you enjoy; happy reading!

“They say you’re the best, Mr Fell. Well, uh, the cheapest at any rate. And you don’t…judge.” The young fellow with the mess of dark hair rubbed at his face. “My Ricky’s been out every other night for a month. He says he’s at work but I don’t believe him. I can’t pay you much—”

“—you needn’t pay me anything at all, dear boy,” Aziraphale, Angel of the Eastern Gate, proprietor of rare books, and infamous gumshoe reassured. He certainly wasn’t in it for the money; if he was, then he would have been more adept at selling the books downstairs. No, Aziraphale was in it for the mystery. Fell Investigations was the premiere agency in London for locating the missing (pets), bringing criminals to justice (that young lad that stole Martin the paperboy’s bicycle), and providing peace to the souls of the city (reassuring wives and husbands that their partners were not being unfaithful). No matter what the case, A.Z. Fell was on it.

After reassuring Duncan that Ricky was most certainly not cheating on him and was very likely busy with his work at Asda, Aziraphale began his investigations to provide Duncan with the physical reassurance he needed. A handful of photographs were snapped of Ricky leaving his and Duncan’s flat; Aziraphale crouched in the back of a London taxi cab; the driver placated by a very friendly – yet forceful – smile. This would be so much easier in Crowley’s Bentley, Aziraphale thought, not for the first time, as he and the taxi driver later parked outside Asda. But he had not yet told the demon about his alternative employment. After the ribbing he had received during his first and only performance on the West End stage, Aziraphale thought best to keep it to himself.

"Anyone who flies across oceans and countries to be someone's pleasure toy is not likely to be making demands... 🤷🏼‍♀️"

She’s literally financing her 'relationship' on her own dime and gets nothing in return. I mean when they hook up in:

• Paris: she's conveniently already there because of work 😉, no first class ticket and posh Costes hotel suite for her, she got treated to exactly one Carre d'Or and that's it

• Nevada: Has she even been there after the infamous jacuzzi splash party? The 🍓🥞 treatment was literally the only nice thing he ever did for her and only because the 💕 was still fresh, so Prince Charming had to make an appearance for a sec, whatever mark she left there Angie pied all over it the previous weekend

• Italy/the summer vacay: dingy hotel split with her friend while he's lounging on million dollar luxury yachts and stays at 5* hotels and dines at the finest restaurants for weeks on end

• NYC: she's living there in her shared model apartment, only called upon for a quick fuck at his hotel suite and if lucky a cheap $30 fish dinner

• LA: Are we convinced he pays for her flight or did the agency pay because she miraculously and totes accidentally scored a casting/shooting in LA🤷🏼‍♀️ and a free but always very short-lived!! stay at Casa Craphole with whole foods takeout picnics in the shrubbery

• London/Berlin: Milk agency called her to report for duty and 1 night at Hotel de Rome after she had to 🏃🏻‍♀️ after him all over Berlin for a day and not to forget a 🍕 and one bowl of 🍜

That fairytale sure did take several steps back after such a promising and 🔥 start... 🫤

W. Agency - Victoria

Law lève la tête. Un beau jeune homme, la trentaine, de type amérindien, se tient devant elle trempé jusqu'aux os. Se levant elle lui prend sa veste puis, lui montre la chaise en face du bureau. Law s'éclipse dans la cuisine, pour en ressortir avec une serviette qu'elle tend au client. — Je vous en prie, monsieur… ? interroge l'enquêtrice.

— Liam Lawrence.

Ren se tient debout à l'entrée observant la scène, pensive. S'essuyant le visage, Liam prend timidement la parole.

— Mon amie a disparu depuis trois semaines, déjà... et la police ne fait rien... il regarde la serviette entre ses mains : Il pleuvait quand nous nous sommes rencontrés. Son regard bloqué sur le morceau de coton, le jeune homme semble ne plus pouvoir prononcer un mot. Après un moment de silence Law l'incite à poursuivre :

— Dites-m'en plus.

— C'est dur, je n'y crois pas moi même... je l'ai connue à la bibliothèque, l'Imperial College London Central Library. Il s'arrête, gêné. Law l'encourage d'un signe de la tête.

— Elle a disparu du jour au lendemain. Nous y avions rendez-vous tous les lundis.

— Elle... ? fit Law signifiant qu'elle n'irait pas loin avec ce genre d'indication.

— Siobhan, pardon. Je ne connais pas son nom.

— C'est fermée le lundi ? reprend Law.

— Non... Enfin si, mais comme elle y travaille, elle a le passe… La pièce se retrouve soudain plongée dans un lourd silence, sans raison apparente. Law expire, intriguée. Ren lance soudain.

— Vous savez où elle habite ?... on fait une perquiz underground...

— Pardon !? lance le client, quelque peu décontenancé par la réflexion de Ren. Law regarde son associée d'un air strict, puis d'un bref mouvement de la tête encourage Liam à continuer son récit. Il reprend, le doute dans la voix :

— Elle se rendait souvent au 10 Gloucester Square, sans doute pour voir de la famille. Je l’ai suivie plusieurs fois. Elle n’a jamais voulu me dire qui elle était vraiment. Je sais que ça doit vous paraître tordu, mais nous étions vraiment amis et je ne comprenais pas tout ce mystère autour de son identité. Law finit par suivre l'idée de Ren, tous les trois se rendent à l’adresse.

10 Gloucester Square

Mortensen a crocheté la serrure du seul appartement qui semblait inhabité dans l’immeuble. C’est un beau deux pièces de quarante mètres carrés avec une petite entrée encadrée par deux portes. Celle sur la gauche mène à la salle d'eau, celle de droite s'ouvre sur le salon avec cuisine américaine et au bout, la chambre. Law scrute les lieux, pensive. Ren constate qu'il n'y a pas de traces de lutte, ni de lettre d'adieu. Elle se fige soudain.

— On dirait que Siobhan n'a jamais existé, s'exclame Ren.

L'associée se dirige vers la chambre, ouvre la porte, y jette un coup d'œil puis se tourne brusquement en s'adressant à Law :

— Viens voir.

L'enquêtrice se rend compte qu'elles pensent la même chose.

— La chambre est nette, le lit est fait, ça sent la lessive, ajoute Ren.

Law passe son doigt sur la table trônant au milieu du salon : la poussière y est dense. Elle soulève une chaise et découvre les marques des pieds. Effectivement personne ne vit ici depuis des semaines, si ce n’est des mois. Ren se tourne vers le client.

— Ça fait combien de temps que votre amie a disparu ?

— Trois semaines.

Le silence alourdit soudainement l'atmosphère. Law s'assombrit.

— Et vous êtes allé voir la police au bout de combien de temps ? poursuit Ren.

— Je suis allé les voir au bout de quarante-huit heures. Je vais tous les jours à la bibliothèque et je la croisais tout le temps en semaine. Mais maintenant que j’y pense, c’est seulement le lundi qu’on se voyait vraiment, qu’on se parlait... Quand nous nous sommes rencontrés, c'était un lundi...

— C’est peut être le fantôme de la bibliothèque, allez savoir ? reprend la blonde, sur un ton ironique.

— Arrête ! lui répond sèchement Law, avant de sombrer à nouveau dans ses pensées.

Postés au milieu de l'appartement, le client et l'assiciée tentent d'analyser la situation. l'ex-inspectrice, fouillant les lieux à la recherche d'indices quelconques, tombe soudain sur un agenda rouge posé sur le bar séparant la cuisine du salon. Elle tourne légèrement la tête pour vérifier que personne ne la regarde et le glisse sous sa veste. D'un œil anxieux elle fait le tour de la pièce, puis se rue brusquement vers la sortie.

— Ça suffit. On y va, y’a plus rien à voir ici.

I think he'll stay in PI work, but I don't think he'll re-open the London branch of Nash & Sons. I think he'll realize Eliza's name being above the door is too important.

Nash and Sons was that connection to Michael and the means by which he intended to get either vengeance or justice. With O'Driscoll's conviction I think Patrick will be ready to move on. He can take a step back and realize ambition isn't his highest priority anymore. His happiness is. I don't think Patrick has ever been more happy than when Eliza was his partner. This time though it will be Eliza in the superior position.

I think working for Eliza will actually suit his plans, because it gives her the power in the professional relationship. If things become romantic between them, it makes things much less morally complicated. As for the name of the agency, I was think something like this:

Patrick: Nash and Scarlet Investigations

Eliza: Scarlet and Nash Investigations

Patrick: Scarlet Investigations

Eliza: What?

Patrick: I think "Scarlet" should only be used in the agency name.

Eliza: What's the catch?

Patrick: Well, I think it would only be fair if I'm taking "Scarlet" for the business name, that you take "Nash" for yours.

Eliza: I don't understand.

Patrick: (Gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring) Eliza Scarlet, will you marry me?

Another late night thought: What if Patrick doesn’t return to private investigator work when he’s out of prison? I had previously liked the idea of him working for Eliza, or starting Nash & Nash (hehe) but I could also see him leaving the field so that his relationship to Eliza is not at all professional anymore. I’m not sure what occupation he would do instead but it’s a thought!

According to The Guardian these are the 10 Best TV SHOWS OF ALL TIME

10. Atlanta (2016-)

Donald Glover’s foray into dramedy fizzes with pop-culture callbacks, political subtext and dark lols, following underachieving Earn, wannabe rapper cousin Paper Boi and their black millennial peers. Its best episodes are the ones where racial conflict meets all-out weirdness, among them Helen – in which Earn feels thoroughly adrift at a Germanic festival – and Teddy Perkins, the Shining-inspired, Get Out-style tale of Darius’s (Lakeith Stanfield) trip to pick up a piano from a mysterious hermit. 

9. Peep Show (2003-15)

The king of 00s sitcoms: formally innovative, with its point-of-view filming and audible inner monologues, and unflinching in how it used that format to be disgustingly honest about diseased male minds. A textbook contrasting duo in careless Jez and cowardly Mark gave writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain the platform for greatness, and the quality barely dipped across nine seasons. Peep Show was always, hilariously, an inch over the boundary of good taste.

8. Fleabag (2016-19)

When Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag arrived on stage in London some six years ago, critics had their doubts (one even commented “I doubt if this material will spin off into a long-running radio or television series”). How wrong they were: as well as returning to the stage for a sold-out run this year, Fleabag’s two-series TV run saw Waller-Bridge infuse the nascent sadcom genre with classic British awkwardness, encompassing grief, family breakdown and, of course, Obama-themed masturbation.

7. Game of Thrones (2011-19)

Despite the widespread calls by superfans to rewrite the entire last series, from Daenerys’ descent into madness to Starbucksgate, Game of Thrones remains the biggest show of the century so far. Even Ed Sheeran sitting by a fire singing a ditty about hands of gold can’t irreparably dent its reputation. And it did come up with the goods throughout its eight-year reign: from the thrills and blood spills to the men baked in pies and the best battles ever seen on the small screen, right through to Cleganebowl. Only The Winds of Winter book will spare us all from Westeros withdrawal.

6. The Office (UK) (2001-03)

It didn’t invent the mockumentary, but Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s debut was so stylistically confident it defined swathes of the comedy that followed its 2001 premiere: two decades on, people are still making pale imitations. Its creators haven’t topped it either but with time, their casting decisions look as extraordinary as their scripts. It’s hard to fathom now that Martin Freeman, Mackenzie Crook and Gervais himself were all then relative unknowns.

5. Breaking Bad (2008-13)

The show that arguably killed off the antihero drama: nothing since has been able to top the depraved descent made by Walter White (a never-better Bryan Cranston), from milquetoast chemistry teacher to meth overlord, and few have dared to try. Yet as grimly engrossing as White’s transformation was, what kept us returning to Vince Gilligan’s low-key epic was Aaron Paul’s performance as his reluctant partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman, whose frayed humanity shone through the moral murk like a beacon.

4. The Thick of It (2005-12)

The craven, idiotic likes of Peter Mannion and Nicola Murray would be paragons of probity and wisdom in today’s parliamentary landscape. But at the time, Armando Iannucci’s scabrous comedy felt like an indictment of everything wrong with the spin and cynicism of British politics. Luckily, it was also hilarious, mainly thanks to the inventive invective of Peter Capaldi’s ferocious “Iago with a BlackBerry” Malcolm Tucker.

3. Mad Men (2007-15)

The sex! The swagger! The suits! Matthew Weiner’s Madison Avenue masterwork went down with all the smooth, smoky allure of one of Don Draper’s copious Old-Fashioneds. But by spanning the entire 60s, showing the mammoth social shifts in an ad agency in minute detail – from the advent of the Pill and second-wave feminism to the rise of hippies and the dropping of LSD – it became more than just the tale of one mystery man and compulsive philanderer come good: it was a meditation on how modern America came to be made, one iconic advert at a time.

2. The Wire (2002-08)

Along with The Sopranos, David Simon and Ed Burns’s Baltimore crime saga showed that small-screen entertainment could be anything it aspired to be: polemical, panoramic, funny, tragic or all of those things at once. Beautifully written and performed, this was both TV as high art and TV wrenched from the soul. To this day, it’s an exemplar of a certain brand of intelligent, ambitious and uncompromising television.

1. The Sopranos (1999-2007)

It is hard to fathom now, but when Tony Soprano first slumped into an armchair in his psychiatrist Dr Melfi’s office, TV was still largely looked down upon. The slogan for the Sopranos’ broadcaster – ‘It’s not TV, it’s HBO’ – felt telling in its dismissiveness, as if making a television programme was something to be ashamed about. The Sopranos changed all that.

Chuck Fic Rec List: Updated

So my fic rec post was in my notifs again the other day, and I noticed a while back that the formatting on the post has gotten all messed up and it’s also had like three reblog additions to it anyway meaning there are three versions out there lol. so, I wanted to do another list of chuck fic recs! I’ll keep the other one up still, so I’m not gonna repeat every fic here, just some I really recommend. I’m also adding the fic summaries, which I didn’t on the old post, and some more of my own opinions so, buckle up for a long post!

Chuck Versus the Steampunk Chronicles | Steampunk.Chuckster

1896. A world powered by steam, where humans and machines coexist, and airships are the fashionable mode of transport. The US Empire's deepest and darkest secrets arrive at Chuck Bartowski's doorstep. Have they fallen into the wrong hands? Or will the inventor prove his mettle, even while he's forced to hide from the very people he's protecting? AU, ongoing chronicle, Charah.

A genuinely incredible AU story, with an entire crafted world and universe, so detailed it frequently blows my mind. There is heart and family and infuriatingly brilliant slow-burn, plus a buttload of danger and super fun historical/steampunk action. Oh how I LOVE it.

Chuck vs the Charade | somedeepmystery

When computer nerd Chuck Bartowski returns home to an empty apartment and a dead girlfriend he finds himself embroiled in a deadly game of espionage and deceit. Everyone around him is playing a part to get what they want and when he starts falling for the new woman in his life, he can't help but wonder if he can trust her or if she's the one he should fear the most.

An action and twist-filled AU based on the movie Charade, which is just such a brilliant fic concept I absolutely adored it from the start.

Two Sides of the Same Coin | dettiot

When you're a spy, there's all kinds of occupational hazards when you work with another spy. For Sarah Walker, though, one mission becomes a life-changing experience. Because working with Charles Carmichael leads to protecting Chuck Bartowski.

The first time I read this fic my mind was just blown to its genius. Such a brilliant interpretation of what the Intersect and its concepts set up in the show could be, and ooooof the Chuck/Sarah interactions, my HEART. Related to it, its companion piece:

A Flip of the Coin | dettiot

What made Charles Carmichael agree to become Chuck Bartowski? Well, to start, it wasn't as much of a change as you'd think. A companion to the early chapters of Two Sides of the Same Coin from Carmichael's perspective.

Chuck vs The Butterfly Effect | n7agentbartowski

Chuck Bartowski is a normal guy who just hit rock bottom. No girlfriend, no career and no super computer stuck inside his head. It isn't until Chuck meets a gorgeous stranger on the beach that he begins to think his life is about to change for the better. An AU Chuck fic without the Intersect. "Change one thing and it changes everything."

I said it on the OG post, but this story has one of my top 5 Chuck/Sarah fic meetings. So funny, so... very Chuck. The story is a little angsty overall, but a great read.

Chuck vs the Rogue Spy | Crumby

When a rogue spy from Chuck Bartowski's past shows up to help him during his first solo mission, Chuck hopes that he'll finally find out what happened to Sarah Walker. Post-S2 AU.

There’s a lot of Season 3 fix-it fics out there, which I don’t usually read bc I actually love season 3 lol, but this one’s a good one! A twisty deviation from canon, but still feels really true to character.

Chuck Versus the Nerds Rewrite | Steampunk.Chuckster and David Carner

What happens when two nerds talk endless hours about their favorite TV show? A new take on the show you know, but with the flair, twists, and turns you've come to expect from Steampunk . Chuckster and david . carner. Somewhat canon. Charah.

As the summary says, a different take on the show, which honestly makes a couple changes I would too, but also adds a bunch of fun twists and plots that make it totally new and fresh. Seeing Chuck and Sarah’s thoughts in the more canon sections is just delicious, too.

The Trapped Assassin | SarahsSupplyCloset

After a mission goes awry, the CIA's most lethal assassin is ordered to take vacation while her superiors figure out what to do with her. But when she meets a disarming tourist, their immediate connection only adds to her disillusionment with the agency and her career. Will he be enough for her to finally take the plunge and leave the only life she's ever known? Charah AU

A warning for the very justified M rating if you don’t like that sort of thing, but this is definitely a plot-heavy fic, too. A really neat Sarah-heavy AU, with a whole lotta Chuck/Sarah fancy French vacationy goodness.

Chuck vs the Second Chance | malamoo

AU from mid-season 2 and onwards. Chuck and Sarah part ways only to be reunited years later. COMPLETE.

Literal, crying-at-my-screen angst. Not even a super happy ending. But a brilliantly written, part-reflective/flashback fic, exploring what would’ve happened if Chuck and Sarah’s relationship really was an assignment all along-- and the aftermath. It’s heartbreaking. But if you want a little heartbreak, this is your fic.

Ready at Your Hand | dettiot

In the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, a Catholic plot against the queen comes to the attention of spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham. To protect Elizabeth, he develops an unusual plan: hide the passing of intelligence between two agents by a false romance. When Lady Sarah Walker and Chuck Carmichael meet, though, their pretend flirtation becomes much more.

I love Chuck fic for the very reason that it’s inspired such adventurous and totally unique AUs. Here’s some Elizabethan fake-dating Chuck and Sarah! They have to be so Proper, it’s like that hand moment from Pride and Prejudice but Elizabethan and times a billion. The pining!!

Sarah Versus Getting Married | Steampunk.Chuckster

Sarah Walker is getting married. Canon. Charah.

I’d recommend all of SC’s fics if I had the room, and I’m already recommending a ton sksks but most of my fic recs are AUs, and this one isn’t! It’s canon, and covers some of in the gap in 4x24, with Sarah just before the wedding itself. Super sweet, heart-tugging, brilliant.

A Chuckmas Carol | Mikki13

A new twist to Dickens' beloved "A Christmas Carol". When Sarah begins to shut out the world around her, three spirits come to show her the error of her ways. Season 3 AU.

Another Season 3 AU, this one written pre-series so it definitely doesn’t fit to canon, but it’s still wonderfully rich in character depth and angst and it also made me cry. Plus, festive!

Chuck Versus Thin Ice | Steampunk.Chuckster

On the doorstep of the Olympics, top American curler Sarah Walker has lost her mixed doubles partner and her boyfriend in one fell swoop. Her coaches throw newbie Team U.S.A. curler Chuck Bartowski onto her team and thrust them into the Olympics, hanging America's curling hopes on two people who only have a short amount of time to learn to trust one another. Charah AU.

Do you like curling? Or the Winter Olympics? It doesn’t really matter because somehow this fic made me extremely invested in both of those things, as well as Chuck and Sarah and them being INSUFFERABLE. Catch me now knowing a ton about curling thanks to this fic.

Walker’s Eleven | Moonlight Pilot

Not the same plot as the movie. Sarah Walker never got out of the con game or became a spy, and now she's on her final con. What happens when true love and betrayal get added to the mix? Twists, turns, and Jeffster!

Con!Sarah always interests me, and this fic is full of her. Lotta con plot, lotta Chuck and Sarah.

The Detective and the Tech Guy | thecharleses

Sarah Walker is a Pinkerton detective. Chuck Bartowski is an electronics genius. They wouldn't have met except for a case of mistaken identity and murder. Will the detective and the tech guy solve the mystery, distracted by the riddle in their own hearts? An homage to The Thin Man film series. Formerly co-written by Steampunk . Chuckster and dettiot, now ONLY Steampunk . Chuckster.

Everyone in this fic is so damn cool. There are so many martinis. But also great heart and family and like, standing up for who you love, and later also Chuck with Baby Clara content which frankly the show robbed us of. Also, PI!Sarah!!!

Gravity | Poetic4U

AU. Sarah makes a decision that altered her life forever.

This is just a one-shot, which many of these stories are not, so a good one if you don’t fancy a big read! Just because it’s short, though, doesn’t mean it’s lacking; a really awesome what-if AU, and heavy on the Chuck and Sarah.

A Yuletie Tale | Steampunk.Chuckster

Sarah Walker was dumped the day before Christmas Eve, and her Plus One at her work’s annual Christmas Eve Soiree is now officially a Plus Zero. Her best friend Ellie Bartowski has a solution to her problem, and Sarah finds she isn’t quite as sure about it as Ellie is. AU Christmas Charah.

I’m particularly in love with this fic because, instead of beginning with a meet-cute, it involves Chuck and Sarah already two years into a friendship-- Sarah is Ellie’s best friend. And she’s been crushing harrrd on Ellie’s brother. Also Chuck is in a tux. It’s pretty.

Set, Spike, Dive! | Frea O’Scanlin

Chuck never expected to even make it to the Olympics. Everything is working against him: he's too tall for a diver, too inexperienced for a medal, too much of a wildcard to really make his mark. But an unexpected meeting at the airport, some intriguing new friends, and a whirlwind romance on the sand just might set up London 2012 as the time of Chuck Bartowski's life.

A London 2012 AU, because why not. This is just a fun Olympic-y ride!

OTP (One True Pairing) Prompts | David Carner

A series of Prompts I found online about different times and places in Chuck and Sarah's life. Mostly AU, mostly one-shots. I assume mostly fluff, but I might get deep. I doubt it, it's me. Charah...ALWAYS (It says complete, but if an idea strikes me...)

If you’re not so into long stories, this fic is perfect. Individual set-ups and stories, all Chuck and Sarah, and all super cute. You could dip in and out and just pick a scenario you enjoy.

Chuck vs The Frontier | ninjaVanish

AU: Chuck was enjoying a simple life as a 19th century watchmaker until an encounter with a beautiful Secret Service agent thrust him into a world of intrigue and adventure he never wanted. But then, with Agent Walker around, it can't be all bad, can it?

This fic gets props for being historically-set but still including the Intersect. Again, a historical AU, so the pining!! the need to be Proper!!! But besides all that, there’s a lot of action fun as well.

Chuck Versus The Crosswalk: Remastered | WvonB

Will a last minute mission help our two favorite characters finally get together? This is the remastered version of my first story.

The original version of this fic is on my first list; this is the updated version! It’s not a complete AU, instead a story that diverges from canon, so if you’re more into canon characters and setting than a new AU scenario, this is a great fic for that.

Little Girls, Paper Wreaths, and Choc Chip Cookies | DanaPAH

Very AU: Sarah Walker is a single mother whose Christmas spirit needs a boost after a tough divorce. She isn't quite ready to go looking for romance, but her little daughter's affection for their new neighbor may lure it right to her doorstep, anyway.

An incredibly sweet AU one-shot where Chuck and Sarah are new neighbours, and Sarah has a super cute little girl. So much sweetness and love and hope. I love this fic so much it literally led me to write my own neighbour-kid-AU, so, not to toot my own horn but I’ll link it here anyway.

May Your Walls Know Joy | halfachance

Looking for a fresh start after some tough times, Sarah and her three-year-old daughter move to LA. When they meet a sweet curly-haired nerd who lives next door, though, Sarah realizes they might just find more happiness than they'd ever imagined, if only her past doesn't catch up to her first. AU.

It’s what the summary says; if you wanna read, feel free!

Chuck vs the Sound of Music | quistie64

AU. Chuck, nerd extraordinaire, is a man with seven children and Sarah must protect them all from Fulcrum's evil designs. Warning: there will be singing.

I mean. Not much mystery as to the concept with that title and summary lol, but this is a super fun, soft ride with a lotta sweetness, and yes, singing.

Just Two People | David Carner

Meet Sarah Walker PhD, Psychologist, specializing in personality traits. Meet Chuck Bartowski, man who has left THE electronic company of 2020. When Burton Consultants tries to figure out what is wrong with the morale of Orion Industries, what happens when a guy named Chuck meets a woman named Sarah. I'll give you a hint, it's me writing.

David’s done something pretty special with this fic. It’s Chuck and Sarah centric, but very much an ensemble piece, too, with a lot of Team Bartowski and other familiar faces throughout.

Chuck Versus the Con Game | Steampunk.Chuckster

AU. Chuck and Sarah are partners in the con game. It's an existence wrought with danger and violence. Every day could be their last. Every mission could be the end of the line.

This is where I freak out SC and declare this fic the reason I ever got hooked on Chuck fic and then wrote Chuck fic, and the reason I still love it today but. that is true lol. Just so. so good. It’s also written with the chapters out of chronological order, which is super fun from a reading perspective. But con!Sarah AND con!Chuck?? Best. The kind of fic you will be thinking about for days (if not, y’know, years).

As you can tell by the repeats, I highly recommend just about anything by Steampunk.Chuckster, dettiot, or David Carner, but there are a TON of amazing Chuck fics and authors out there. I’ve never known a writing community so wildly creative-- there are so many unique AUs and canon explorations and story concepts that this show has manifested, and it’s all so much fun.

Most of the Chuck fic community is still over on FFN rather than AO3, so if any of these whet your appetite, feel free to have a browse there for more stories. I’m sure you’ll find something great. Personally, all the incredible writing there has also led me to write a buttload; I’m at halfachance on FFN, so if you see any of my stuff or wanna chat fic, feel free to message me there or here.

Happy reading, folks!

What Factors to Consider While Hiring A Private Investigator - UK?

A private investigator has the legal authority to discover and investigate cases. They are highly skilled specialists who deal with a variety of difficulties related to official, personal, and even marital matters. A private investigator in the UK has received extensive training on how to handle cases that are somewhat distinct from those handled by professional detectives. Consider the following points before hiring a Private Investigator London.

Experience

A professional private investigator will have experience in the field of investigation in which you are interested. Inquire as to if he or she has undertaken a comparable inquiry and, if so, what their experience was. A private investigator's expertise in law enforcement can be advantageous in terms of credibility and the capacity to dig deep into challenging cases. A brief discussion with the PI can assist in determining their suitability for the task. 

Do They Have License and Insurance?

Before choosing an investigator, one of the first things you should ascertain is whether they are licensed and insured. In most locations, this type of company requires a license to operate. By selecting International Investigation Services that possess these types of certifications, you can be certain they will do the job to the best of their ability. These professionals will almost always have liability insurance, which is advantageous. The more information you have about an investigator, their licenses, and their insurance plans, the easier it will be to pick the ideal one. 

Good Reputation 

You must engage a reputable private investigator in the UK. Avoid falling for an agency that claims to be able to provide straight solutions to your questions. In the investigation business, credibility and reputation are critical. You must have sufficient proof to establish who is at fault. As a result, it is critical that you retain the services of a private investigator that is experienced in dealing with a variety of situations. Your investigator is a forensic professional who may assist you in gathering evidence on a site or at a scene. However, he must possess the skills to conduct successful investigations in order to assure the credibility of evidence and information.

Services offered

What should you do if you learn that one of your employees is stealing from you? You must understand your function and obligations in conjunction with those of the private investigator in London. Certain firms will conduct merely fact-finding and prepare a report for you. Once you've uncovered the truth, others can offer guidance on how to proceed. Additionally, you may hire private detectives to assist you in prosecuting people who commit wrongdoing. The target organization should inform you of the services they offer and the responsibilities they anticipate of you. The company you choose will be determined by the purpose for which you intend to use the data you collect.

✥ - Popping a button on their shirt, showing their chest / a bit of cleavage (Hawke & Jake)

Life had a funny way of bringing this back full circle in a way nobody could anticipate. The first time they’d tried to date it had been a game of secrets. The Minister of Magic could never be seen with a member of the Department, let alone a former member of the Department who now waited tables at an Indian restaurant. Hawke’s job had been everything to him, his legacy, his reputation, his mission more important than any level of emotional honesty that he could gift to Jake. Which is why Jake had left him. Submitted a formal letter of resignation as Hawke’s boyfriend and walked out of the Ministry with his head held high. A lot had changed in the years in between leaving Hawke and the night the now-former Minister of Magic had walked into his restaurant and asked for a word with the chef. Jake had been perfectly comfortable making him wait several hours in a booth until dinner service was done and waiters were putting chairs on top of tables in preparation for the end of the night. 

“You waited.” 

It wasn’t a question when he asked it, but there had been a question behind it, about why Hawke had shown up, ate, and then waited until the restaurant closed down to finally talk to him. 

“The food was exquisite. You used to be a great chef… I think you’re something beyond that now.” 

“My Michelin Star and James Beard Award agree with you.” He’d sat down on the other side of the table as one of his staff brought him something to eat. “Doesn’t explain why you waited though.” 

He’d always been the one who’d been honest between the two of them. It was time for Hawke to shoulder that burden now. 

They’d talked late. He’d sent the staff home and they’d sat in that booth, and then in the kitchen as Jake made them a well-past-midnight snack, and just talked. It was the most open he’d ever heard Hawke be and in the moment it was a very sharp reminder of why he’d been so in love with the man in the first place. Hawke seemed to be heading in the direction of them getting back together and so Jake felt it the appropriate time to drop the bomb he’d been sitting on all evening. 

“I’ve got a kid, Hawke. I adopted. Elimelech Alistair Conrad. Eli Jr.. If you want back in my life… you’ve gotta be ready to be a dad. Because I’m not doing this if you’re not.” 

“You… adopted?” 

“I asked everyone not to tell you. I honestly assumed you’d know just because you’ve got your fingers in seventeen different intelligence agency pies, but, yes. Last year. He’s three now. Eli’s mom watches him while I work, because that woman is a bloody saint.”

In Hawke’s defense he hadn’t immediately run out the door, hadn’t bolted the moment he’d heard the word “kid” like some of the other men Jake had tried to date since he’d initially left Hawke, but he didn’t look immediately at ease with the whole concept of being a father. “Well. Congratulations. I think I owe you a baby shower gift then.” 

He hadn’t laughed like that in a long time, and just like that they were back on the slow road to whatever it was they were going to become. 

A lot had changed in two years. Minister Ashby had become Mr. Conrad, one restaurant had turned into two, to three, and then a cooking show, and despite what reservations he’d had, Hawke had become a truly amazing father. An apartment in muggle London had turned into a penthouse in Diagon, and it was through this penthouse door Jake was walking to be immediately tackled by a slightly more than knee-high cannonball, “Daddy’s home!!” 

Hawke rounded a corner shortly after their speedster of a son did, trademark wry smile on his face, “Maybe we let him get more than six inches in the door before we tackle him.” 

“Papa took me to see Auntie Emma at work today! Mr. Foster had a puppy!” Leaning down Jake swept Eli Jr. off his feet, kissing him on the forehead and hugging him tightly. 

“Oh Papa did, did he?” 

He threw a questioning eyebrow in Hawke’s direction as he set Eli Jr. back down again and his husband gave him a gentle smile, “Weymouth had some automaton breakthrough. Wanted to drop one off, show us how it worked. He’s getting closer and closer to figuring it out… which is honestly a little terrifying. Have you ever seen a nine foot tall magitech robot take a spell to the chest and bounce it back? And before you chide me… Samuel had Eli well in another room distracted with what might honestly be the cutest pitbull puppy in all of Christendom.” 

“Nana ‘nique said she’s going to take me to the museum tonight!” 

Another questioning eyebrow, and another smile, a language they were slowly and methodically rebuilding, “Gramma Monique offered to babysit tonight. She said something about couples needing quality time, how she and Manu had always loved their family but cherished the moments that they had privately. Then she gave me what can only be described as the most scandalous eyebrows I have ever seen on a woman and said she’d be by, well,” he looked at the watch on his wrist that had probably cost more than Jake’s first apartment, “Any minute.” 

A gentle knock on the doorframe behind him made Jake’s face split into a lopsided grin as he turned to see the willowy figure of Monique Whetu silhouetted in the light from the hall, “And here she is, as promised Misters Conrad.”

There was very little in his heart that Jacob Conrad loved as dearly and preciously as Monique Whetu. She had seen Jake at his most abject; when veins were still black as night and some days he couldn’t hold a mug for the shaking, and she had loved him ferociously anyway. It was one of Jake’s greatest sorrows that he would never have the chance to meet Manu Whetu, but from the way Monique lived her life, it was evident where Eli got his big heart from. “You didn’t have to do this mom.” 

He couldn’t pinpoint exactly when he’d started calling Monique mom. There had been a very long time when she had been Lady Whetu, and then Monique, and then somewhere along the line mom. Maybe it had been before he’d knelt before the Manu-possessed Lich body of Aiden and received the blessing of the Lord of Manawa, maybe after, but somewhere along the line she’d joined Madhur and his own mother as one of the army of women he called mom, and it just felt right.

“That’s what makes it fun, Jacob. I know I didn’t have to do this.” With an effortless redirection of momentum she scooped Eli Jr up and propped him up on her hip, “You both work hard, and you deserve these moments.” Leaning in she planted a kiss on Jake’s kiss and he breathed in the smell of flowers and home, “Besides. This handsome man and I have a date with his Uncle Eli and Aunt Millie. You can’t deprive Millie of her Eli Jr time. You know how she gets.” 

With another blinding smile and a wave from their son she was gone, and there was silence in the penthouse. “Well, Mr. Conrad.” Jake set his bag down and leaned against the wall, “I guess we have a free evening.” 

“For the first time in what… months?” Hawke began loosening his tie, draping it over the back of a nearby chair as he unbuttoned his cuffs and popped the top buttons on the bespoke Thad oxford he was wearing, revealing a sliver of tan skin and carefully groomed chest hair. 

“Mmmmm.” Pushing off the wall Jake careened gently into his partner, bringing a hand slowly up and over Hawke’s chest and cupping his cheek, “If you’re going to start a strip tease like that in our front hall you and I are never going to make it to the kitchen to start dinner.” 

Hawke’s low chuckle sent shivers down Jake’s spine as he slowly unbuttoned another button, “Oh this is what does it today? Well, Mr. Conrad. You’re the one with a restaurant empire. I am fairly certain with one phone call we can have a four course meal delivered and left outside so we don’t have to put pants on for the rest of the night….” 

There was an end to the sentence that Jake refused to give Hawke time to finish; lips crushing the rest of the words in their shells. “You know my love language, that’s for sure.” 

Another button and Hawke smoothed a hand under Jake’s shirt and up his stomach, “There’s no rush, my darling. We have all night, Millie and Eli are hosting a sleepover… and I intend to take my time. I think we’ve earned it.” 

Jake had to admit as Hawke began removing his clothing with agonizing slowness that his husband was right. They had earned it, and he intended to take full advantage of every remaining minute they had together.

 「 avan jogia. cismale. he/him. 」i hope that #lexsquad member「 SLATER MALIH SAVALIA 」adds me to the squad ! the 「 TWENTY THREE 」year old 「 LAW 」 major has been apart of the squad since 「 OCTOBER 2018」and seems to be the 「 DELPHIC 」of the group.「 SLATER」is a「 SENIOR」 and seems to enjoy 「 WRITING & PLAYING MUSIC 」but you can always find them at a squad party , too !

TW:  CHEATING, ABANDONMENT, PORN MENTION, DEATH, DRUGS

Anyways lemme give you some info about my man and try to keep it as short ( I lied ) as possible I’ll have some wanted connections at the end so hit me up to plot cause I live for that :) 

NAME: SLATER MALIH SAVALIA AGE: 23 MAJOR: PRE- LAW SENIOR @ LEX POSITION: A DADDY HOBBIES: givin 0 Fucks, living life to the full, writing, being an PI on his dad, spiting his family n causing problems as a FUCK U. BORN: LONDON, ENGLAND. SEXUALITY: A truE WILD BISEXUAL :”)

BACKGROUND: 

So Slater was born in London, England however when he was younger he moved around a lot with his parents until they settled in LA. Mainly for his dads business and his mum had previously lived there too.

His mum was a travel writer which explains why they traveled a lot, his father runs a few escort agencies + brothels ( nevada only we do it legal here )  and also started up his own pornographic production company / film studio in LA. it would probably now be one of the biggest in the world.  ( think vivid entertainment meets brazzers ) u know FILTHY RICH SHIT.

Both his parents were obviously away quite a lot, his dad ran so many businesses and hmm was hands-on lets say but the household was pretty calm when he was fairly young. his mum was super attentive and loving and just such an amazing role model and always wanted to take him with her to show him the world when she had to leave. i think he definitely was a mummas boy.

at about 8/9 however would’ve been when things kind of came crashing down for him. he really caught his dad cheating on his mum w/ one of the porn stars he hired from the studio. His dad would’ve really asked him NOT to tell him mum because it would break their family up. obviously, slater was like terrified of the chance of losing his family so he just pretended nothing ever happened.

he was so conflicted because he was keeping this huge secret and he had so much guilt but he didn’t wanna be the one to ruin things. Like his dad basically used him as a cover like expecting him to lie for him for a long time. it would’ve really eaten away at him. like it would’ve not been a one-time thing, but slater was in denial for sure.

i think one day slater would’ve slipped up in one of his lies for his dad and his mum ended up fighting out what happened and it was such a mess. it would've led to their divorce and god that was.. SOO messy. they defs didnt have a prenup and like the custody.

I think lowkey he was miserable being with his dad, he had so much resentment and sadness there. he would’ve been okay being with his mum the whole time.

His dad was really the type of parent that would use his kids against each his ex wife like they would use slater to pass on messages and being like no u can’t have him for that day etc etc And not taken slater into consideration.

his dad though really tried his absolute best to bring his mum down which was sooo sad to see, like watching her get put through the ringer by his dad and she just became a bit of a shell of who she was, because he obviously had more than enough money to do it and didn’t want her to see a dime of it even tho he.. RLLY BE LIVING THE HIGH LIFE.

slater would’ve just been back and forth between them both up until he was about 15 when his mum, unfortunately, passed away due to drugs. which was SO UNEXPECTED.  i think there was definitely a lot more to it, like she definitely was self-medicating to help go through the still pending divorce. which would’ve lasted years. 

anyways losing his mum devastated slater because truly she was like a best friend to him, she was. he always enjoyed the weeks at his mums more than his dad and now he knew he’d be stuck there.

he fights a lot with his dad still about everything that happened and what he did, he blames him for it and putting a LITERAL KID in the middle.

anyways though since the separation his dad had like a myriad of “ girlfriends” around who were probably all young enough to be like a step sibling tbh. he never took to any of them until his stepmom. who shockingly he actually really likes. shes one thing keeping his family together atm.

 Anyways as you can imagine slaters dads business was huge and his dad is truly raking in the money but slater has always felt uncomfortable spending or even benefiting off it which is why he’s extremely secretive considering he knows where it comes from and he doesn’t exactly support his dad let alone he doesn’t want to have to explain that to people and get them looking into his family.

his father has really tried and put up this front though as if he’s a huge family man now and is conservative and super religious and smh that pissed off slater to the max. he’s like that dont make no fucking sense..

 when he high school hit though they were going to country clubs all that shit slater hated basically. he truly didn’t mind acting out just to spite his dad knowing hey your a family man what are you gonna do about it??

this drove his dad so crazy and only meant more rules were put on him, it was about the only attention his dad gave him.

when hey fight though its really wild, you know slater throws it in his dads face basically just some fucking pimp and exploits people and he’s never gonna do that and he’d rather have nothing than follow in his footsteps

i think his dad has been fined multiple times for some shady shit going on in his businesses. plus its been common knowledge in the depths of the industry they heavily provide them w/ alcohol drugs etc. probably has had an issue with the treatment of the people hes hired. lawsuits.  there's more under the surface that even slater doesnt know.

there would’ve been a bit of a scandal where his dad employed one of his dumbass country club friends daughters aka someone even slater knew to star in one of his adult films

 but regardless like he knew he really was fortunate he lived an extremely privileged life, like he would be set for life, could sit do nothing and its good. he just never had a huge interest in it unlike his father who really always said that he would take over everything someday and it would turn into a huge family business. and he was like yikes someone come tell him.. no thanks. 

 His dad and him definitely had a rocky relationship after his moms death, he  didn’t parent very much and just left his stepmom in so many uncomfortable situations but honestly

 He saw her more as a friend though then a mum but she was the best parental figure he’s ever even had. She’d genuinely try so hard to make sure his dad was acting like one like telling him he’s going to his sons gigs or else even though slater knew his dad would come for 2 seconds to appease his wife then leave.

But growing up he’s always been super careful of who’s around him and who he lets into his life probably as a result of how secretive his family has always instilled in him to be.

 Like his dad keeps saying we’re family we come first, and he never wanted slater to be sharing that with people about what they did.

 But he has such a resentment to his dad, like he thinks he’s a mess he has a wife he doesn’t give a fuck about a son he doesn’t see, he does god knows what he just is so convinced he can’t turn out like him ever. 

I think people genuinely think he must not come from money because the amount of people who have ever met his parents or seen his house is a handful if that. 

Like he’s always hanging out at other people’s places and just he’s never been really extravagant unless its to purposely spite his dad yikes. that comes from anger.

Like he really got himself a job even though his dad said he could come work for him just cause he was like yeah I don’t want to run ur dumb company and make money off it u pos? 

His dad has definitely been investigated a few times for shady practices. slater definitely started looking into law for that reason, like he genuinely thought he wants to actually be able to put guys who screw the system and own huge corporations and think they can pay outta anything in jail.

meanwhile his dad thought great a lawyer who can defend our family business smh so he supports him He has no clue slater would rather take him down.

hes on the dl investigating his dad himself. who wanna help.

PERSONALITY

losing his mom AND one his best friends showed him that he needs to really do everything he wants to and in that moment which does make him selfish at times 

i think he has abandonment issues, i think like when  his best friend who was kinda the reason he came to lex, happened to pass away also triggered that again ( TBD WHY im leaving this open for plots ) and that really shook him all over.

he really almost feels cursed at this stage.

he was pretty sheltered tbh because his dad wasn’t trusting AT ALL and at first was homeschooled until High school so he didn’t exactly grow up outgoing or being able to have many people at his place or tell them about his life.

i think theres not many people who know he’s related to his dad business, even tho his dad business iS HUGE and legit is his last name. and hes like yeah ha coincidence right??? not my dad at all.

He’s super fucking blunt though like he may be secretive with his personal life but his ass does not hold back which has gotten him into way too many problems. 

He just feels like he grew up lying about so much, his dad was like we don't want people taking advantage of you if they find out who you are and use things against me.

 he hated that and all the secrets about his dad he kept so don’t expect him to hold back on feelings or thoughts back at all 

LOVES to spite and piss his dad off even if that means 30+ students at his dads place during a business meeting lets do it.

He acts a lot without thinking like he sucks at planning anything and a lot of time he seems a little flighty and that he doesn’t take things serious enough esp his relationships

.He’d really go above and beyond though for anyone who’s proven to him that they can be trusted like he’s been known to be all in he either gives it everything or nothing so he goes extravagant

will try everything once.

wild child tm.

 his ass was kinda like living it up. he’s like on the brink of i dont want to just use my dads money but he’s like if i am though i wanna use it to actually do something decent, like get a law degree and be something, travel like his mum did. hes obsessed with the thought of like following in her footsteps BUT HE. NEVER ADMITS IT.

feelings who are u?

 He’s definitely a realist and a little bit cynical too, like he’s seen way too much shit to really have some ideal look on life. 

He doesn’t believe in some fairytale or things just happen for a reason or really in fate or anything like that. 

Like he doesn’t think love fixes everything and someone can be your happiness at all . hes like clearly its only problems so.

He’s only ever really had one serious relationship and a bunch of other casual things but that was just nothing to him

 He’s not closed off to them but he picks and chooses what he gives, but he’s just doubtful how someone’s gonna mix well into his life 

He definitely seems aloof and a bit cold but I mean after a drink and 5 minutes he’ll be picking your brain on just about anything 

loves writing in general, usually lyrics and music though.

secretly Loves a good midnight dnm overlooking the water with a trusted friend

 Awesome at getting himself out of situations he can be pretty convincing lbr

lowkey has abandonment issues. 

connections: donnt say im trash i know.

extra drama - his STEP sibling. aka child of his step mom. 

his best friends sibling, aka the one who passed away :”(

someone whose mum dated his dad WILD.

A TABOO FLING OR CRUSH, basically he got with someone he shouldn’t of, we can decide reasons HOWEVER I’D LOVE if the other chara was the ex of his friend who passed away. HED FEEL LIKE SHIT for having feelings. the angst. and the we cant do this its wrong.

I mean... someone who actually WORKS FOR HIS DAD. i would die, could be an escort, a sex worker, someone who is signed to his dads production company, can be a pornstar or more like a cam star too.

someone who is a huge tease and rlly makes his ass beg to be with them. make him work for it honey.

ooo a really GOOOOD friend and they’ve always been “ platonic” but theres this weird sexual tension and they both know it, but like ooo it could risk the frienndship n makee it weird and like ugh.

like someone whose parents hates them hanging around w/ slater bc of his family, maybe bc they ran in the same circles from back home but they just.. cant stay away from each other.

someone hes kinda dated but they realised we’d be better off as friends even tho weve seenn each other naked, it was fun.

One of the people from back home that found out all about his entire family when the scandal was exposed. They could’ve been friends or enemies.

AN ex!! pls he defs has broken some hearts or THE ONE WHO BROKE HIS :) IF U DO THIS U WILL GET SO MUCH LOVE

An enemy Maybe someone against his family or someone he just can’t stand!

THE damn girl his fucking dad tried to employ to be in his damn movie! My ass would do wild shit for this one wild WILD SHIT.

unrequited love, someone's heart he broke without even realising it

A confidant someone he can really confide in tell-all his dumbass shit too, like his protective ass would really care for this person

Someone who’s into music as much as him pLS!! like someone who can just jam with him late nights

He needs that dnm kinda friend 😂

A fwb that’s self explanatory:)

RIDE OR DIES etc

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.

LARA  LOVED  HER  AYAH  VERY  MUCH .     upon  leaving  india  at  the  age  of  9 ,   she  came  with  her ,   but  once  lara  was  sent  to  boarding  school ,   lest  we  forget  that  lara’s  father  is  The  Worst  and  a  product  of  the  british  empire’s  misplaced  sense  of  entitlement   ( and its habit of dipping its fingers into pies ,  having a taste ,  wiping their hands on the nice clean table cloth ,  and ruining said pies so no one else can enjoy them peacefully and respectfully) ,   her  ayah  found  herself  dismissed  and  abandoned  with  no  means  to  return  home ,   like  so  many  were  at  the  time .

‘ ayah’s  home ’  was  an  organisation  that  provided  accommodation  and  support  to  foreign  nannies  abandoned  in  london ,   but  it  formed  by  individuals  under  the  proviso  that  it  would  serve  as  a  converting  station  for  missionaries  to  introduce  the  ayahs  to  christianity  before  contacting  travel  agencies  like  thomas  cooke  to  find  the  ayah  another  employer  whom  was  travelling  to  india .

upon  learning  of  her  ayah’s  fate ,   though  only  upon  completion  of  finishing  school ,   lara  definitely  set  up  her  own  secular  organisation  for  displaced  nannies  -  it  would ,   in  fact ,   be  the  first  thing  she  did  with  the  money  from  her  inheritance .

If evidence is to be presented in divorce proceedings or other important cases, everything must be above board, and thus a trained and experienced professional who has already worked during a related profession within the confines of the law will provide you with this professionalism of service.

Another significant advantage of hiring knowledgeable with this type of experience is that you simply can rest assured that they need already had ample opportunity to figure on cases almost like yours for other professional bodies.

After All My Sons

I follow the Old Vic on Instagram and I have to admit it’s kind of depressing to see all the posts they’re doing this week covering the rehearsals for the NEXT play that’s coming in after Jenna’s All My Sons ends its run there on June 8. Already moving on...

It got me to thinking about how long it’s been since the first preview performances began, and the rehearsals before that. How long Jenna, Sally Field, Colin Morgan, Bill Pullman and the other cast members have been performing this emotionally heavy play, over and over, for who knows how many nights per week (plus matinees). And it’s not a one-act play - AMS runs 2 1/2 hours all told. And there was the added pressure of doing the NTL Live stream for the UK. On top of all that remember that most nights Jenna and the others also take part in the autograph line at the stage door. The stamina needed to be able to do this must be incredible.

I’ve always pondered what it would be like to be a stage actor. I did a little bit of it in high school, and I’ve seen my share of plays, but I have to wonder if the actors start feeling like they’re in a bizarro version of Groundhog Day after a while. And do they get flashbacks? I mean, performing the same lines, the same actions, night after night, especially intense ones - mental muscle memory must kick in at some point. I really have respect for these people - and in the case of Jenna this was just for a couple of months; there are some people who commit to plays (especially musicals) for years at a time. Yul Brynner spent the last decade of his life performing The King and I - more than 4,000 performances across his career. Who knows how many times Lin-Manuel Miranda will end up performing Hamilton. Again, respect.

As a fan, of course I look forward to hearing about Jenna’s next project. I certainly would like to know soon if there’ll be a Victoria 4 and when, or if Jenna as another “The Cry” waiting in the wings or more one-offs like her yet-to-air guest appearance on Inside No. 9 (I still want her BFF Perdita Weeks to get her on an episode of Magnum PI, and now they share the same agency there’s no excuse for Jenna and Peter not to reunite for a project). But at the same time, after Jenna does her Kensington Palace reading the day after AMS closes, and she’s also booked to do a convention in London soon after, if she actually drops out of sight and starts posting Instagram photos from some remote beach for the next few months, I wouldn’t blame her in the slightest!
