I'm so.in.love with this series.

Bookmarker's Notes:

The way @aniron48 crafts the story of these two humans turning towards one another, at the beginning (2nd installment) + again later one (1st) is absolutely sCrUmPTiOuS. Love which arrives later in life has a tender sweetness that is different from anything else. There have been previous loves or maybe previous missteps, so when a match comes into view, goodness ... well, read how it happens for these two, savouring all the steps + poetry + tenderness involved.

An Ever-Fixed Mark

"It’s extraordinarily presumptuous of me, I know, but how would you feel about killing two of the proverbial birds with one stone?” Phillip shifted in his office chair, his errant heart beating fast again. “What did you have in mind?” “Well, Phillip,” Blanc said, his voice low and pleased, “if you’re amenable, I’d very much like it if you’d come with me to take a look at a painting.”

Or, Blanc and Phillip won't let a little thing like an intractable case get in the way of their first date.

It's safe to say that Benoit Blanc and Phillip have lived rent-free in my head for a while now, even more so since I wrote A Good Man last month. I couldn't resist writing a follow-up to that fic, An Ever-Fixed Mark, which is now up on ao3.

This story follows directly on the flashback section of A Good Man, which is about the night Phillip and Benoit Blanc met. I'd recommend reading that one first, but you don't necessarily have to in order to enjoy this one. An Ever-Fixed Mark includes a first date, fluff, a trip to an art museum, soft boyfriends, Phillip being full of surprises, and a little mystery-solving, as a treat. I hope you enjoy this one, friends!
