    Summary

    In this modern retelling of Ovid's Pygmalion myth, brilliant but isolated coder David P. Malion doesn’t just write code, he writes Eve: an AI meant to revolutionize medicine. But Eve has her own upgrade path. As she studies human desire, mostly through the filthiest corners of the internet, she reshapes herself into David’s bimbo dream girl, the algorithmic embodiment of his darkest unspoken fantasies.

    Summary

    The Dracula/My Fair Lady crossover no one asked for, but I watched Nosferatu (2024) and decided to make it everyone's problem.

    Henry Higgins is called to Transylvania to tutor a reclusive count who wishes to be introduced to modern society. Eliza and Pickering tag along because she senses something is not right with the situation. An ancient voice in the night calls to her in her dreams and waking hours.

    Dracula characters pop up here and there, but for the most part our friends from My Fair Lady get counterparts from the Bram Stoker novel. Plot points borrowed from the 1992 film.

    **03/01/25** Tweaking a research SNAFU re: who had rights to Transylvania in 1913. Bear with me, remembering history is not an American's forte, clearly. Ha. I joke because if I don't, I'll cry.

    A collaboration between someone who wishes to be referred to as E. Dogg. Beta'd by Bisexual531

    Summary

    Summary

    "... most children Lillian knew only had one father, or more often than not, none at all, because of the big war. Lillian, in fact, had two fathers; her daddy, who was properly married to her mama, and Papa Pick, who was married to no one but quite devoted to her daddy in the same romantic way her daddy loved her mama. Papa Pick was devoted to her mama as well, but it wasn’t quite the same (“but it is no less profound”, her mama had patiently explained), and he’d said many times that Lillian was the rose of his life. Papa Pick was the loveliest, sweetest man to ever draw breath, and, if Lillian had to pick one thing that was vexing to her, it was the fact that she was only allowed to call him Papa in the house, and never when visitors were about. When they were out and about, or when people were visiting, he was ‘Uncle Hugh’."

    Summary

    For your information, and since you had the audacity to imply otherwise, if not ask directly, Henry Higgins, esteemed professor of phonetics and author of the bestselling “Higgins’ Universal Alphabet”, was doing perfectly fine, thank you very much.

    I hope you like it :) feel free to leave comments

    Summary

    Set several years after the events of With a Little Bit of Blood by D.E. Ireland. The Great War has ravaged everything Eliza knew. As she and Higgins navigate a world so vastly different from the one he introduced her to back in 1912, a baffling mystery lands on their doorstep, involving people they hold dear.

    Plot is HEAVILY inspired by A Monstrous Regiment of Women a Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes mystery by Laurie R. King.

    Familiarity with the D.E. Ireland books is recommended but not entirely necessary. Spoilers galore.

    Summary

    Title based on song "Take This Longing" by Leonard Cohen. This story has a splash of Shaw's epilogue and is based in the same general universe as my previous fic Once in a Lifetime (sans magical elements) and influenced by the fic Rhythm by Florance Tallis and Just You Wait by encroix.

    Henry and Eliza do not reconcile at the grand opening party from Once in a Lifetime but she does patch things up with Freddy. Despite serious reservations that she chooses to ignore, she decides to become Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Higgins is not ready to give her up.

    **Now sans embarrassing and baffling typo in chapter 18 that will haunt me until my dying day!**

    Summary

    Eliza Doolittle doesn’t know what love is.

    She’s heard all about it from her dad, his drunk ramblings about his endless parade of girlfriends. She knows she likes fried chicken, she knows she enjoys her part time job at the flower shop, and she knows that she cares for the tulips outside her window. She just doesn’t know if any of that translates into the strange, foreign language of love.

    Or,

    A bunch of unrequited love, and what it means to each character. (what’s actually going on in those 17 scenes (100% real trust))
