On this day, September 5 in 1779, the historical Benjamin Tallmadge and Caleb Brewster were briefly united in person—a rare event, contrary to their portrayal in Turn: Washington’s Spies. The occasion was an attempt to oust a nest of Loyalist marauders—privateers—who were menacing the northern coast of Long Island in the very area where Abraham Woodhull was conducting his spy activities. The Loyalist “freebooters”, as Tallmadge describes them in his memoir, were encamped near a fortified post, the garrison Fort Franklin, on a “promontory or elevated piece of ground next to the Sound, between Huntington Harbour and Oyster Bay”. The site is known today as Fort Hill Estate.

Tallmadge and Brewster and their men (a detachment and Brewster’s whaleboat fleet) arrived on Lloyd’s Neck at 10 pm after a five hour row across the Sound and set about attacking the encampment. Tallmadge’s plan was to take them quietly—without a single shot fired—so that once the marauders were dispatched they had a clean shot at the nearby British garrison. They captured almost the whole band, with only a few escapees, one of which fired a shot that alerted the British—their chance at the garrison was foiled. Still, Tallmadge, Brewster, and their prisoners departed quickly after destroying all the boats they could find. They rowed back to Connecticut (presumably another five hour row, argh) and arrived before sunrise without the loss of a single Patriot.

244 years later, on this day, September 5 in 2023, I finished my Tallster fanfiction “You’ve Caught Me Between Wind and Water”. I did not include any pirates, to my great regret. This story is my longest project to date and one that’s very dear to me.

I was pondering its 1-year completion anniversary—today, September 5, 2024, and whether I should write an epilogue for the story. What would they be doing a year after the events of Wind and Water? Bonus, what would they have been doing in that September of 1779 specifically? Imagine my tickled surprise, dear Readers, when the historical record delivered such serendipity. (Big BIG thank you to @ollieoliveoboelo22 for giving me photos of Tallmadge’s memoir and Alexander Rose’s book on the passages in question).

Of course they’re together in real life. Of course they’re ousting pirates. Of course they’re performing a raid.

And—the garrison! As readers may or may not know, taking down a garrison head-on was the planned finale for much of the time I spent writing the story. (It’s not subtle, there are a lot of hints.) In the end, I ended up shifting the focus to taking down a bunch of marauding Loyalists who were terrorizing the country-side and hassling Patriots. That fictional raid ended up being a major reconciliation for Ben and Caleb, who were on the outs.

So to go back in time and read about the events of September 5, 1779, and find out that Ben and Caleb were brought together in real life to take down a garrison—and failing that, settled for taking down a bunch of marauding Loyalists who were terrorizing the country-side and hassling Patriots… well, it must be some sort of divine sign.

@ladysarai I don't mean to tag on to your fic rec but I figured if I reblogged from the OP you wouldn't see that I wanted to interact with your post and I like interacting with you forgive me:

I am actually currently posting a serial fic I worked on with a dear friend [The Lighthouse, TURN fandom] after a lengthy and very rewarding collaboration process, but my favourite fic remains this one:

It is a Hob Gadling/Original Female Character fic in a fandom where Hob Gadling/Dream is the most popular ship. It hasn't gotten much attention and I never expected it to, but I maintain it's the best fanfic I've written to date. (I also think it reads well without knowing anything about the show other than that Hob Gadling is an immortal human.) But I know fandoms and I know--without bitterness--that very few Sandman fans will have cause or drive to read a cross between the fandom darling and an OFC. It's special to me regardless. <3

this fic game got me thinking - what is everyone's favourite fic that they've written? like what is your magnum opus and why? what's your fic legacy?

Aus Grossmutters Hausapotheke – What Grandmother knew

Bislang habe ich bei Halskratzen oder gar Halsweh immer mit warmem Salzwasser gegurgelt, um Keime zu vertreiben. Das ist wirksam, billig, aber leider richtig “pfui”. Schmeckt das scheusslich. Glücklicherweise kenne ich seit zwei Tagen ein viel besseres Hausmittel, nämlich Apfelessig, auch mit warmem Wasser verdünnt. Es wirkt genauso gut, ist genauso günstig und schmeckt viel besser. Sogar wenn…

one - love

Eames comes across Arthur at the tennis court. He wants to stay back, observe the man from a distance, but Arthur spots him as soon as he’s within view. His game face doesn’t change—if he’s scowling at Eames’ appearance, Eames can’t tell. He might be hitting the ball a little harder and his opponent stumbles as he lunges, sprawling flat against the court as the ball hits the chain-link fence.

Arthur walks to his bag and grabs his towel, holding up a finger and nodding at his opponent. He wipes his face, walking over swiftly to where Eames stands.

Before Eames can make a comment about his tennis whites, or even ask what the hell Arthur is doing playing at a country club, Arthur cuts him off.

"What are you doing here? Whatever this is, I don’t have time for this right now.”

Hello to you, too. But fine, if he wants to get right to business.

“I have a job for you,” Eames says.

“I don’t work for you.”

“No, but I thought you might deign to work alongside me again. For the right price.”

Arthur gives him a wary look, then glances at his opponent, who’s subtly trying to ingest as many glucose tubes as Arthur’s brief distraction will let him.

“I’m busy,” he says, turning away.

“I’ll be at the bar,” Eames calls out, without acknowledgement from the point man.

Arthur goes back to his position, tossing his towel aside en route. His opponent wipes his mouth and gets into position to serve, already grimacing.

Eames watches Arthur return the serve as if he’s decapitating someone.

Eames knows little about tennis and can’t gauge the length of the game before Arthur shows up at the country club, racket and gym bag slung over his shoulder. Eames is deep in conversation with another patron—swindling him blind and leading him on besides—but he gives a thin smile at the younger man’s approach.

“So what do you want?” Arthur asks, and Eames can tell from no tell at all: he won his match.

“Arthur, let me introduce you to Mr. Ian Thorpe. A financier from Atlanta.”

Arthur shakes hands, just this side of civil.

“Pleasure.”

“Your friend’s been spinning me quite the yarn,” the financier says. He’s a forgettable sort of rich—the right colour suit, but the wrong cut. “He’d have me believing in the investment of a lifetime.”

“He’s a crook,” Arthur says, to a chuckle from Eames. “And a liar. But he gets results.”

The man laughs and rises. “Well, maybe I will give you a call then. I’m sure we can find a way to do business.”

“The pleasure is all yours,” Eames says, greasily, packing everything into the lift of his lips that might otherwise be transmitted in a wink. Arthur watches the man leave and takes the other chair at the table.

“He’s not worth your time,” he says.

Eames casually flashes a black leather wallet—not his. “He already has been.”

“I doubt he’ll miss the cash.”

Eames flips it open and pulls out the driver’s license, perusing it. “It’s not the cash that interests me.”

“He’s your target.”

Eames puts away the wallet. “Or maybe just a person of interest.” He focuses on Arthur, a transparent smile on his face. It could mean anything.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to recruit you. If such a thing is even possible—you must be booked well into next year.”

“What’s the job?”

“An oil man. Bit of a twisted one.”

“Let me guess. Inception?” It wouldn’t be the first offer Arthur’s had this month. It wouldn’t be the first of the week. Whoever blabbed—and Arthur has his theories—made sure that their little reverse-heist was on the lips of every extractor in the industry. Not because they’d tried—God, lots of people had tried—but because Fischer Morrow had folded within six months after Fischer Sr.’s death. Even Arthur hadn’t expected such a swift return.

Eames hums, sympathetic to Arthur’s irritation. He must be hearing a lot of it, too. “You know that the men’s world record for the 100 m dash was at a stalemate for 12 years before it was broken? All it took was one man to crack it and it got beat twice again in four years.”

Arthur pushes down the urge to correct him. It was 14 years, not 12. And it took another five years for it to get broken again. But he knows what he’s saying. For the longest time, Inception was only theory.

“Why, did someone else do it?” That would be interesting.

“A sucker born every two weeks, if the rumour mill is to be believed. Personally, I doubt it.”

“Why, ‘cause you weren’t involved?”

“I was going to say,” Eames says, lifting his glass, “because you weren’t.”

The flattery works, for one unexpected second—Arthur feels a warmth in his neck. He pulls out his water bottle and drinks deeply.

“So what is the job? Extraction? I’m not doing more than two levels. I’m not exactly keen for another one of Yusuf’s concoctions.”

“That’s a shame. I can’t get him off my phone. Says he’s never had such a willing test subject. I think he’d work for free if it meant he got another whack at you.”

“Not a chance. Why aren’t you answering my question?”

“Because I’m savouring this time together before you storm off to annihilate some other poor sod on the court.”

Arthur narrows his eyes. “Why would I storm off?”

“Because you’re not going to like how much you’ll want to do this.”

Arthur listens as Eames tells him the job. He gives it ten steady seconds before he stands and walks away without another word.

“I’ll be in touch!” Eames calls and Arthur gives him the finger without looking back.

Natürliche Pflegeprodukte selbst gemacht!

Du möchtest gerne auf natürliche, umweltfreundliche und gesunde Pflegeprodukte umsteigen? Warum nicht deine eigenen Pflegeprodukte herstellen? Es ist einfacher als du denkst und es gibt viele Vorteile: Du weißt genau, was in deinen Produkten enthalten ist, es ist kostengünstiger als der Kauf von teuren Bio-Produkten. Außerdem ist es gut für die Umwelt, weil du keine unnötigen Verpackungen verursachst. Hier sind einige Tipps und Ideen für die Herstellung deiner eigenen Bio-Pflegeprodukte.

Gesichtsreiniger ohne störende Zusatzmittel

Ein einfacher Gesichtsreiniger kann aus Kokosöl und Natron hergestellt werden. Denn Kokosöl enthält natürliche antibakterielle und entzündungshemmende Eigenschaften, während Natron helfen kann, abgestorbene Hautzellen und Verunreinigungen zu entfernen. Mische einfach einen Teelöffel Natron mit einem Teelöffel Kokosöl und trage es auf dein Gesicht auf. Massiere es sanft ein und spüle es mit warmem Wasser ab.

Feuchtigkeitscreme ohne Parrabene

Eine selbstgemachte Feuchtigkeitscreme ist einfach herzustellen und enthält nur wenige Zutaten. Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, Kokosöl mit Sheabutter, Jojobaöl und ätherischen Ölen zu mischen. Kokosöl ist reich an Fettsäuren und hilft, Feuchtigkeit in die Haut zu ziehen. Auch Sheabutter ist eine ausgezeichnete Feuchtigkeitscreme und Jojobaöl ist ein natürliches Antioxidans. Ätherische Öle wie Lavendel oder Teebaumöl können entzündungshemmende Eigenschaften haben und deiner Haut einen frischen Duft verleihen.

Deodorant - viele Bio Pflegeprodukte

Wenn du ein wirksames Deodorant möchtest, das frei von schädlichen Chemikalien ist, kannst du es einfach selbst herstellen. Ein einfaches Rezept besteht aus Natron, Maisstärke, Kokosöl und ätherischen Ölen. Mische einen Teelöffel Natron mit einem Teelöffel Maisstärke und einem Teelöffel geschmolzenem Kokosöl. Dann füge dann ein paar Tropfen ätherisches Öl hinzu und rühre es gut um. Trage es auf deine Achselhöhlen auf und genieße einen ganzen Tag lang Schutz vor unangenehmen Gerüchen.

Haarspülung um die Haare und Kopfhaut zu entlasten

Eine natürliche Haarspülung kann aus Apfelessig, Wasser und ätherischen Ölen hergestellt werden. Apfelessig kann helfen, das Gleichgewicht des pH-Werts auf der Kopfhaut wiederherzustellen und Schmutz und Ablagerungen zu entfernen. Mische einfach einen Teil Apfelessig mit drei Teilen Wasser und füge ein paar Tropfen ätherisches Öl hinzu. Dann verwende es nach dem Waschen als Spülung und spüle es mit Wasser aus.

Lippenbalsam ganz einfach:

Ein Lippenbalsam kann aus Bienenwachs, Kokosöl, Sheabutter und ätherischen Ölen hergestellt werden. Denn Bienenwachs bildet eine schützende Barriere, während Kokosöl und Sheabutter Feuchtigkeit spenden. Auch Ätherische Öle können deinem Lippenbalsam einen angenehmen Geruch hinzufügen.

Indem du deine eigenen Bio-Pflegeprodukte herstellst, tust du nicht nur etwas Gutes für deine Haut und deine Gesundheit, sondern auch für unseren Planeten.

Hier haben wir auch noch ein Rezept gefunden, um Seife selber zu machen. Jeder kleine Schritt in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit und Umweltschutz zählt. Also lasst uns gemeinsam einen Beitrag dazu leisten, eine nachhaltigere Zukunft für uns und kommende Generationen zu schaffen! Read the full article
