Miss Fisher Snippets (213)

A work of art that made Jack blush, whether he admitted it or not. Little did he know that a few episodes later, in about 3 months’ time according to my timeline research, he would get to witness the real thing on stage in S2E1 Murder Most Scandalous. Talk about blushing…

(Posted 12-Oct-2024)

[avoteforme]

jack reclined back in his chair to look up at her. a thrill tingled up the back of phryne's neck as he stretched his legs out and folded his hands across his chest, as though he had all the time in the world to drink in her appearance. she'd dressed with care, wearing her white silken surcoat and she watched as his gaze drifted down from her hat to her lips and then briefly across the neckline of her low-cut blouse.

Inspiration Saturday!!

Tagged by @theotherbuckley @diazsdimples who both posted INCREDIBLE stuff y'all should show some love 🩷💚

I'm focusing on Eddie's second oh moment right now, but the other night I was writing for my Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries AU and decided to try something... I made my first moodboard!!! I like it, but I might change it up a bit as I keep writing for it.

Ta da!! And here's a snippet to go with it:

Buck crouched and opened the cabinet by the sink. An opened box of pink packets sat turned on its side in the cabinet. The box read Nerve Powders. Something at the back of his mind told him there was more to it than that. A sharp knock echoed off the tile in the bathroom. “This lavatory is fully occupied!” Buck called as he closed the cabinet, stowing away a few packets in his jacket. “Police! Open up!” Damn. Buck stood and opened the door, plastering on his charming smile. Good Christ. Detective Diaz from a distance was a sight to behold in itself. Up close? Adonis wouldn't stand a chance. Coffee brown eyes shone in the light streaming in from the window. A wayward wave fell across his forehead, the only thing out of place in his otherwise immaculate appearance. His bone structure was beyond perfect.

He carried himself with a relaxed confidence Buck spent years faking. How this man achieved it? Buck didn't know. “You must be the detective,” Buck said. “Apologies for my urgent call of nature.” “You do realize this is an active crime scene,” Detective Diaz pointed out. Wow, even his voice was gorgeous. “Forgive me, detective,” Buck smiled. “It's very fortunate I'm wearing gloves, is it not?” Diaz stepped past Buck and stared at the chalk outline on the floor, his brow furrowed in concentration, the smallest pout on his lips. Buck turned to the officer standing near the doorway. “Do you think it was poison?” “Most likely,” the officer nodded. “We have yet to determine the cause of death,” Detective Diaz said with a pointed look at his officer. Oh, what Buck wouldn't do to see the man be a little mean to him too. Buck honestly hoped Detective Diaz would arrest him. Buck could show him a thing or two with those handcuffs. Not that he’d ever voice that thought out loud.

[sroloc--elbisivni]

i know you just answered an ask about the TF JP Miss Fisher au but i am also curious about it 🥺

have another snippet, as a treat:

Bluestreak was on his morning round of checking sight lines of the house when Jazz finished up his client meeting, so he got to watch the pair of light-frame mechs head out the front gate after Trailbreaker showed them to the door. There were another three mechs waiting for them, huddled together like they’d been magnetized, scooping up four and five as they came out into the street. Oh, the jet was literally scooping, oh dear. Hopefully they wouldn’t tip over and break the fence. “Bluestreak!” Jazz crowed from downstairs. It was followed by a series of thumps as he took the stairs two at a time. “Hold my calls, we’ve got a case!” “You disconnected the house comm lines earlier this week because there was a glitch in the wiring,” Bluestreak reminded him. “Do you remember that or—” “Turn of phrase, Blue!” Jazz waved that detail off as insignificant. “‘M off to the docks.” “The docks, does this have anything to do with the mech that got shredded?” Bluestreak moved to the next window, quickly glancing over the nearest high points for snipers and the low points for observers. “You knew about a mech getting shredded and you didn’t tell me?” Jazz gave a theatrical gasp. “I’m hurt.” “Sideswipe commed my line while you were in your meeting, I was going to tell you when you got out but I guess you were told while you were in it.” Next window. Weird, he hadn’t known they had a felidae former in the neighborhood. Bluestreak added the sighting to his list of potential recruits for testing Trailbreaker’s cooking. TB was getting better. Slowly. “He and Sunny are transporting a journalist so they’ll be late with the gossip.”

Bluestreak is in Dot's role; Sunny and Sideswipe are our cab drivers. and a fun fact. while avoiding specifics because spoilers, soundwave is going to be making himself a nuisance.

Let the WIP Games begin! :3

Thank you to @temporary-enthusiasm for the tag 😀

rules: reveal the titles of the documents in your wip folder and tag as many people as there are documents. Let others ask questions about the ones that interest them and post snippets or explain the contents as you see fit!

Yeah, I’m not gonna lie, I have soooo many WiPs I’m not gonna be able to tag as many people on here. XD It’s not even a humble brag, I’m just a mess of a 40-year-old with too many ideas and not enough time to put them all down in writing. But I’m working on it! One idea at a time. :3 So bear with me, everyone. Moar HankCon (and other pairings) will be in all our futures.

The Kamski Experience - When a team of struggling documentary filmmakers get an invitation to the secret location of Elijah Kamski's newest stab at hospitality, they expect an exclusive peek into the mind of the reclusive genius.

But when the work weekend turns into a deadly game of chess with a masked serial killer, they must each pass a personally customized death trap in order to escape - or die trying.

Wayfarer - AU take on the movie Passengers, but if it were a thriller and the main character and love interest were more equal partners right from the start.

When You’re a Stranger - AU take on the movie Deliver us Fom Evil, in which Connor is a homicide investigator with a psychic streak, and Hank is a (derobed) Lutheran priest now working as freelancing exorcist.

Heart/Soul - set five months after the end of the game. Starting with Connor taking a leap of faith on stage, declaring his love for Hank with an old power ballad from the '80s.

Monochromat - a story set a few months after my first massive HankCon fic, Metamorph; When androids first start disappearing for no apparent reason, there’s no obvious signs of foul play, but then android bodies start showing up all over Detroit. Android life and death semantics aside, it would seem there is a serial killer on the prowl.

Then, to make matters worse, one of the original leaders of Jericho suddenly goes missing without a word. Hank and Connors Mark I and II find themselves racing against the clock, with too much evidence and too little time.

Gambit - another what-if kind of fic branching off a chapter of Metamorph.

... ... ...

And then there are the ones I haven’t even started posting yet. >_>

DBH x Dragon Age Inquisition AU, in which Hank is a former Templar and Connor is a mage on the run. Set right after the botched Conclave.

Mr Stern’s Criminal Conundrums - a silly, fun Ms Fisher’s Murder Mysteries AU in which the honorable Mr Connor Stern is an elegant bachelor by day and all-out flapper fabulosity at night. Solving crime and making men swoon all hours of the live-long day. His ever present adversary-cum-ally is Lieutenant Hank Anderson, who doesn't need this kitten heel/fancy frock BS in his life (but secretly loves it).

Plotbunny Hank/60: At CyberLife Tower, Hank shoots the wrong Connor and completely breaks down. As a direct result, Connor-60 begins questioning everything he thought he knew.

Runaway Man - A The Fugitive (movie) AU, in which Hank is wrongfully accused of killing his ex, and Connor is tasked with hunting him down.

The Mummy AU - with Librarian!Connor and Pilot!Hank tracking down an ancient ruin to retrieve an heirloom of Hank’s (or something far, far worse ;) ). Something he lost a veritable lifetime ago. Featuring ridiculously rich Elijah Kamski headed to the same ancient site in order to find something far more interesting - an artifact promising eternal life; and the Jericho Four as a gang of troublemakers who may or may not be out for the same thing (or just stopping Kamski). Everyone has secrets, and nobody’s safe from whatever lies waiting in the depths of the ruin.

I have woefully neglected two raffle fics I started as well, but more on them in a different post. <3

Last but not least, I have a whole sentence of a PWP that never went anywhere (yet): “One of Connor’s favorite things to do in the bedroom, was watching Hank fuck himself using one of his dildos.”

I TAG EVERYONE WHO FEELS THUS INCLINED LOVE YA! <3<3<3<3<3

WIP Wednesday

Current plan is to publish next chapter of you believe in my heart in late july and following/last chapter in early-mid august. Well, the actual calendar dates depends on my life and if my body decides to get sick (knock on wood it doesn't), but I do want no more than a 2-week gap between chapters.

Not exactly an everlark snippet, but inspired by all the times i've been called miss and ma'am when in northern-ish appalachia and it's taken a moment to register that, oh, that's me.

It’s just three of the Fisher boys talking to Annie by the door, so it’s only a matter of icing their mother’s cake and handing them the cardboard box, and she can handle this. “Peeta’s not feeling too well tonight, so I’ll finish off your cake in a bit if you don’t mind waiting,” she says, unable to stop herself from smiling at their faces when she gestures to them inside. “Off the cold, c’mon.” She tries her best to hold back her laughter as she lets them in the kitchen, at the “Will Mister Peeta be fine?” and the “Is Miss Johanna here?” and the “I wish we had a dog too”, because she can do this. “He’ll be fine by tomorrow and, no, Johanna’s not here. Is she aware you’re calling her Miss Johanna now? I should warn you boys that she won’t like that.” They look at each other before the youngest says, “She told us we should only say it if we respect her, and only because she’ll kill us if we call her ma’am again.” Well, yeah, that does sound about right.

first-lines-of-fic meme! I was tagged by @tiltedsyllogism​ (thank you!)

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway!

Starting with the most recent and working backward (I didn’t include ficlets and snippets, which means numbers one and ten on this list make for quite a neat How It Started/How It’s Going circle):

1. all the men and women merely players (Ted Lasso, 15k and counting)

In with the wind blows the news that the Players are coming to town. Trent Crimm hears it in the pub where he is nursing a pint, his throat raw from hours of talking. It’s not much of a pint, if he’s to be honest - he’s not even sure what’s in it. Mae brews it herself - the only way you get any sort of alcohol in the post-pandemic world, if you haven’t been hoarding a cellar since the before-times. He takes another sip, winces and says: “Which players are these?”

2. The Lady With The Recorder Asks The Questions (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, 6k and counting)

“You took out the line about the threesomes, didn’t you?” 

3. ain't practical, a world you can't touch (The English, 5k)

Just a whole lot of aiming, he’d told Cornelia once. But it’s Martha Myers who misses.

4. maybe everything that dies someday comes back (The English, 14k)

“He don’t look like much,” said the client. “You sure he’s the chap we’re after?”

5. a song that will keep sky open in my mind (The English, 4k)

We knew Eli was back because of the baby. We could hear it crying clean across the wheat fields. By the time we all fetched up in the front yard, Cornelia was already standing at the gate, arms akimbo, watching him ride up to the house. We could not see her expression because she was wearing her veil. 

6. can't start a fire without a spark (Stranger Things, 9k)

It was a whole thing when Eddie Munson and Chrissy Cunningham blew town together and ran off to start a rock band. Or at least it was for the rest of Hawkins, who didn’t have to worry about shit like the world ending on the reg. Steve was busy that summer trying to stop the apocalypse again, so he didn’t pay the news any mind. He’d noticed Chrissy in school, of course – anyone with eyes couldn’t miss the golden girl of Hawkins High – but he had never given Munson a second thought, at least not till Dustin started wheedling him about some concert in Indianapolis.

7. A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Piracy (Our Flag Means Death, 13k)

Day seven of my return to the high seas, wrote Stede in his journal. Since Lucius was no longer around to take dictation, the journal existed only in his head. Morale is low, I will not lie. There remains tension among the crew, especially the ones who tried to eat each other. Prospects still dim on locating the whereabouts of my ship, my other crew and E - 

8. you don't have to be crazy to work here (but it helps) (The Magnus Archives, 1.5k and counting)

“We should get TikTok,” declares Tim.

9. they will see us waving from such great heists (Ted Lasso, 21k)

“You know,” says the American tourist in the Tate Modern’s Surrealism wing, “I do believe that is my favourite telephone in the whole darn exhibition.”

10. The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret (Ted Lasso, 20k)

Trent Crimm hangs up on Nate Shelley and says crisply into the darkness of his living room: “Fucking hell.”

Tagging, if they fancy it: @leupagus​, @nandalorian​, @kiraziwrites​, @themardia, @swallowtailed​, @aberfaeth, @eisoj5​, @sagiow​, @glamorouspixels​, @tovezza​ and @justplainsalty

[galadriel1010]

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP AND 📊 Current number of WIPs

Following On spoilers:

“Good. And more importantly, is this going to win my Marie points with Mrs Stanley?” He gave Jack a weary look. “That woman frightens me.” “She frightens most people with sense.” Jack added the dates to the form, signed it and handed it back. “I think she even frightens Miss Fisher, and no one has accused her of having any.” Heppinstall’s lips curled under his greying moustache. “She must have some.” He stood up and held his hand out. “I’ll see you before you go, but I’ll wish you safe travels now. Now get out of my office.” “Yes, sir. And thank you.”

Current number of WIPs? Uh... 3 actively ongoing (1 original, 2 fic), 2 benched (1 of each), several under starter's orders. I try to keep myself to one main project, but that went wrong some time ago

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably In This World of Strangers, I Belong to Someone, because it's an AU and so they can be happy and in love forever. So much so that there's a fluffy as heck sequel thing. :D

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not that I'm aware of!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

*blushes forever* I have written only one M-rated fic ever and it was a CHALLENGE, you're welcome/I'm sorry.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I haven't but I want to steal the vibes of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and put it into a Thasmin fic. Someday. Maybe.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Oh I hope not...

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

You know someone asked me if they could once and I thought it was spam honestly I didn't realize this was a thing? Sorry to that person!

Oh goodness I don't know, I think I'm pretty good at dialogue, and at some nice interior monologues and feelings.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting is hard. Also I have a tendency to go on a bit, which I absolutely indulge in fic writing and perhaps should not...

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I wouldn't ever do something lengthy, but a little snippet I could probably sneak in. Particularly if it's in French or Italian and I could be relatively confident in my ability to fact-check Google translate, heh.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Oh was it Lord of the Rings first or Phantom of the Opera first? One of those two!

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Wait I have to pick one?? D: Hmmmm I think for right now I'll say falling down the stairs (of your love) because I got to fit so many things I like into one story.

Thanks for the tag!! I shall tag... @highlyillogicalandroid @aleksandrachaev @fuxdeiflswued @elephant-in-the-pride-parade If you all are so inclined! :)

[illegally-blind-and-deaf]

1, 11, 31 and 36 from Tintin asks

1. Fave villain?

I would have to say Müller. He's so sinister and cynical compared to the other Tintin villains. Like, he was going to send Tintin to a mental asylum and has man traps scattered about his lawns. He's creative in various villainous aspects, he a desperate and he hates Tintin's guts. I do wish we could have seen more of him honestly.

11. Top 3 side characters?

Excluding Chang and Bianca because they're so fabulous and their amazingness hardly needs to be mentioned:

King Muskar. Like, he's so calm and clear-headed, he seems like such an amazing and cool guy and I wanna see more on him.

Mrs Finch. I have a personal bias for housekeepers/landladies who have slightly problematic tenants but who deal with them anyway (looking at you Mrs Hall from All Creatures Great and Small.) I love her in the animated movie because the small snippet we see of her, she 1. Respects that Tintin needs space and privacy and sleep at night and 2. Deals with people being shot on her doorstep and still lets the root of the problem live in the building.

(Also, she looks quite a bit like Mrs Hall. I can't get a good image of Mrs Finch, but here's Mrs Hall so you can see)

LIKE HELLO??? POP ON A PAIR OF GLASSES AND VOILA

Anyway moving on-

Nestor. The guy is a crack up and I love him for it. I also have a thing for older butlers who remain so calm and stoic despite their chaotic masters (*cough cough* Mr Butler from Miss Fisher *cough.) I love him

31. Moment you wish could have happened?

Gosh, I don't know. I would have liked to see Tintin after the whole Ottokar's Sceptre because I LIVE for exhausted, starving characters finally getting relief and I'd love to see Muskar finally noticing how tired Tintin is and demanding he has a hot bath, a warm dinner and a solid night's sleep.

I also would have liked to seen Tintin fretting about his friends in the Picaros when Calculus and Haddock went without him because we didn't get a full explanation as to why he joined them and I would have loved to have seen his thought process and the tug of war between staying in safety or be with his friends. (Perhaps he thought himself a coward for staying back. He seems like the kind of person to beat himself up about that.)

Basically, I want more of tintin being vulnerable, but hey, that's why we have fanfiction.

36. Which version of Tintin is your favourite?

I'm interpreting this as favourite adaptation, which I'd have to say is the animated film because it looks most like how I envision him and because they show the more vulnerable side of tintin when he's realised that he's "failed" and he beats himself up about it. I also love the BBC radio dramatization I found on archive.org because LET ME TELL YOU THAT THE STORIES GET FAR MORE INTEMSE WHEN YOU HEAR TINTIN SCREAMING WHEN HE GETS SHOT (it's a yell scream but it still caught me off guard) so good man

I also love Jean-Paul Talbot. Just in general. I love him.

:)

So, this is awkward for me, because I really don’t have a WIP folder. I’m not working on anything atm, and I’m usually good about finishing a fic once I start it. (In the case of that Lawrence of Arabia fic, it took me literal years to write a short one shot, but dammit, I did!) The only fic I ever started writing and didn’t finish was Part 2 of Solitude Interrupted, and I wrote so little of it, I never even typed up what I wrote by hand. (If only I was as good at finishing my original novels. Those WIPs are a trash fire.)

But I do have a couple Word docs of potential fanfic ideas! And here they are.

Jane Austen College AU series

Don Giovanni Vampire AU

Crash Landing on You:

              Post-canon 4-some in Switzerland

              Missing scene sick overnight in school

              Gu/Dan missing scene

Hockey: Ilya earns a bj

Don Giovanni “The Other Catalog”

Peter McLean:

              Tent sex

              Tomas and Major Bakrylov

Captive Prince:

Sex at the new border palace in front of new giant portrait

First sex after Damen heals at end of book 3

L’Comte Ory 5 Times fic

Pearl Fishers with Leila sequel

Do I know 13 fic writers? Um, I'll tag a few folks, but if I don't hit you, feel free to do it if you'd like!
