57. It's winter and Phryne and Jack find themselves investigating a murder in the mountains. They're skiing, the weather gets worse, and they have to find shelter in a remote cabin. There is no way to light a fire and their only chance of surviving is to warm each other through body heat.

58. Phryne searches a secret lab with dangerous substances and there is an accident. She gets sick, likely contagious, and is put under quarantine. Mac works to find an antidote while Jack can only watch her through a window in her hospital room. One day there is an emergency and Jack must decide whether to enter the room to help Phryne or stay outside the room as ordered.

59. Soulmate AU 1: Everyone has an item that glows when their person is near.

60. Soulmate AU 2: Every person has an item, very dear to them, that glows when your soulmate is close to you. Phryne's item is her sister’s ribbon, but because there are so many painful memories connected with it, she locks it away and only takes it out for special occasions. She’s never seen it glow. When she works with Jack she sometimes catches herself looking for his item, but fails to find anything that glows. The day they arrest Sanderson and Fletcher, Phryne finally discovers it. Watching Jack console Rosie, she sees it: Jack's Collected Shakespeare. Thinking Jack and Rosie are actually meant for each other, Phryne leaves the station with a broken heart. Little does she know her little sister's ribbon is glowing brightly every time Phryne is anywhere close to Jack.

Motivation Monday

Look, am I kinda cheating the spirit of @ao3commentoftheday’s Motivation Monday because I wanted an excuse to use @scoundrels-in-love​‘s pretty gif? Yeah, kinda, but it’s really very pretty and I am really very shallow.

So, obviously, the world is in crisis and things are hard for everyone right now, and this is manifesting around these parts as a lot of directionless drifting. So I thought I’d highlight the five six highest priority things I’m working on, fic-wise; it’s a good way to regroup and figure out what needs my attention. 

(1) My piece for @ssrconfidential​. I’d like for it to be done by the end of the month and so far all I’ve done is think up plots I am immediately uninterested in, so...

(2) A MFMM fic for the Break Down the Door challenge because I do miss those assholes. (Prompts go out tomorrow, stay tuned)

(3) The next three smutlets for be my anchor--of the three there’s one almost finished and two that are clearly planned (including a belated mouthfucking for mouthfucking March 😂), so this actually shouldn’t take long.

(4) Continue my yonder reread so that I can get back to that fic

(5) Arranged marriage fairy tale for @jbmonthlymadness​ if I can hash out the plot. I have spent hours trying to find the fairy tale I was inspired by without success, and I have to figure out the logistics of adapting it, and also decide how heavily fairy tale inspired I want it to be. The more fairy tale inspired the easier it will probably be, but the further from nuanced characterisation.

(6) Ages ago, I started a suuuuper tropey hurt/comfort Long Night AU that I might be shelving, but I need to have another look at it--sometimes I just want the tropey nonsense and I was about a quarter of the way through, so deciding whether to continue it or let it go is going to clear my mental plate either way.

And because I am not entirely self-centred, I’d love to know what other people are working on!

MFMM Break Down the Door Challenge

6 feet (or 2 meters) is a little shorter than the average door, and is also the distance the CDC recently advised maintaining from others whenever possible.

But those recommendations don’t apply to fic, and they never applied to Phrack, so let’s break down the door.

For the next week, we’ll be collecting all of your prompt ideas on the general theme of “closeness.” This can be physical closeness, emotional closeness — whatever you want — and prompts can be as general or specific as you like.

"Dot and Hugh get closer over a case?" Great!

"Phryne and Jack end up in an intergalactic garbage compactor and are unable to leave because the door is magnetically sealed and then the walls began to edge toward each other, threatening to crush the companions trapped inside as they grow ever closer together, but at the last minute they’re saved by Mr Butler?" Also great!

On April 14th, we will make all the prompts public (but not the prompters). The challenge itself will last four weeks, with all fics, fanart, poems, vids, etc. submitted during that time, and we'll close the collection on Tuesday, May 12th.

Email all prompt ideas to mfmmchallenges@gmail.com by Sunday, April 12th!

Let’s get together, fandom! Email your prompts, make some art, share some love.

2020 “year in review”

Thank you for the tag @a-wonderingmind!

rules: It’s time to love yourselves! choose your 8 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome work!

2020 was the first time I’ve gotten so involved in a fandom (and what a lovely fandom!)

Not surprisingly, all of these are for Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. Here goes:

into the sunlight tripping -I was hesitant about posting this fic in the first place because it’s very descriptive? But I’ve gotten a lot of lovely comments on it and that kinda made it grow on me.

Angry Birds -this is just fluffy hurt/comfort, and it’s very self indulgent because I find Jack’s hands extremely hot XD

through caverns measureless -my Whumptober fic. I’m still not sure how I feel about it but it was the first time someone beta-read one of my fics, and that was a great experience.

lend me your ears -my first MFMM fic! I still don’t know why I felt such a strong urge to write a modern AU, but I’m very glad that I did XD

What dream'd my lady? -this one is short and silly. I enjoyed writing it way too much, and I sometimes reread it when I get mad at the MFMM movie for not making sense.

a run-in with the law -a Jack & Dot friendship fic for the Break Down the Door Challenge. I really love Jack and Dot's interactions in the series and I wish Dot had more screentime in the movie :'(

Disco -time travel AU flashfic. The flashfic challenge was a lot of fun to do, although I only did one heat. It was so stressful to have to write and post it within the time limit but it forced me not to overthink things. I loved the feeling of writing at the same time as a bunch of other people, and it was great to have so many new fics to read afterwards.

The walk of shame, featuring an Utterly Mortified Jack - Idk if this counts, lol. Jack’s internal monologue during a certain scene in Death Defying Feats. I did this video kinda impulsively because I love flustered! Jack.

My offering for the Break Down The Door challenge #1.

I promise if I can move the story forward, I will. I just have to wait for those involved to tell me what they want done with the required ingredients. Yes, I know, Phryne will have her opinions and Jack will have his. I just have to see who makes me the best offer. ;)

In which Phryne isn't the only one who Jack has managed to win over.

Or a surprisingly Phrack-focused realization of the prompt: Mr. Butler insists on feeding Jack while Phryne's away. (Phryne isn't away for most of the fic. But I tried.)
