I don’t know who needs to hear this but…

You can stream “The Doctor Blake Mysteries” for free on Peacock in the US. (No subscription necessary) It is such a cute and wonderful show! 💖

Elaborate Lives - Chapter 27 - Theloversthedreamersandme82 - The Doctor Blake Mysteries [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: Things come crashing down

Notes: Happy Birthday Dee! @doctoraliceharvey Thank you all for your patience as always. I moved jobs and am dealing with some stuff in my personal life which is not leaving me much brain space to write. I'm struggling with the timing of the events in the next two chapters, hopefully I can work through it soon. Tried to find a balance between Mei Lin being a bitch, but still giving her a reason to why she's wanting to hold onto the family she lost and Lucien trying to be his beautiful gentle self but also calling her out on her behavior, I hope it rings true and doesn't give you whiplash.

Personally, your comments are the only thing keeping me writing at this stage. I'm committed to finishing this story, and I have the next three chapters loosely written, but if you could leave me a comment about something you liked about the chapter, that would go a long way to help me persist. It's a hard slog for me at the moment.

went to a show just to be a fucking hater you have to admire his dedication.

Yes, still obsessed. And I don't want it any other way.

I appreciate how ACGAS Audrey x Siegfried fic writers always take the time to mention that Robert Hall is dead. They’ve seen period dramas before and they are not taking any chances.

Thanks for the reply about your TDBM fics. Can’t wait to enjoy them!

You're very welcome, anon! :) I appreciated the message.

Elaborate Lives - Chapter 26 - Theloversthedreamersandme82 - The Doctor Blake Mysteries [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: The fallout from Mei Lin's return continues as she makes things difficult for everyone.

Notes: Thank you for all of your comments on the last chapter, i loved hearing your thoughts on Mei Lin. She's sticking around for a bit, so strap yourself in. I've really loved delving into this scenario, and writing Mei Lin as a bitch has been SO fun :)

I've had to make all of my works only available to members of AO3. There were some scummy people stealing other peoples works and posting them elsewhere. Sorry to any of you who were reading there as a guest. I don't have any invitations at the moment either, and I've all but given up on ff.net. If you're really having trouble accessing it let me know and I'll see what i can do.

*** NOW UP TO DATE ON FF.NET***

I’ve been trying for months to finish something in Photoshop. I’ve started soooo many projects, but given up on all of them. Finally finished something.

Jean is my blorbo but Vera Stanhope is my favorite hot mess.

[actuallylorelaigilmore]

Where can I find your TDBM fanfiction that you mentioned a couple of months ago? Would love to read it!

hi anon!! and thanks for the interest :D

depending on your reading preference, you can find it on AO3 here:

or you can see it all here under this tag. the tagged blog posts also include my responses to fic games and other ideas i rambled about that aren't on AO3.

i had so much fun when i reread my tdbm fic back then, that i did eventually manage to redownload the show. so someday i can have a rewatch and possibly write some more, which is neat.

Elaborate Lives - Chapter 23 - Theloversthedreamersandme82 - The Doctor Blake Mysteries [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: Jean attempts to return to work, but struggles. Relationships continue to develop, both between Lucien and Jean, and Matthew and Alice

Notes: Phew! It's been over a year since I updated this. I was writing for a different fandom for a few months, and that was time sensitive as I wanted to get it out before S2 aired, and then early this year my best friend died. I've just been focusing on getting through the day and haven't had much brain space left to write. I've also been discovering that I have ADHD. This update is nice and long for you to enjoy. Please be assured that unless I've actively said I'm not working on this anymore, I'm still intending to finish it, and don't harass me about it. I do this in my spare time, for free. I'm currently working on the next three chapters which have the bare bones written. If you've read any of my other stuff the scenes between Matthew and Alice may seem familiar. I've reused and rewritten some of the stuff from one of my other stories.

I'm giving up on ff.net for now. It's buggy and a lot harder to use. Sorry.

every time william munro smiled at lucien blake on the doctor blake mysteries, accounting for roughly 75% of total william munro smiles.

Wait till we get to the scene where we use this song in Elaborate Lives. It will come. Eventually. It's plotted in.

Fun fact Elaborate Lives was almost called Easy as life, as this was the song that resonated with Jean's character more. But ultimately I decided Elaborate Lives was a bit more broad, encompassing all the different characters.

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him  |  All I have to do is put my longing to one side
