Summary
"The first night on which Frances Crawford of Lymond visited the Ostrich Inn since being pardoned by the Queen Mother had the place alight like it hadn’t been in ages. That was according to Molly, at least though Willa Scott found it much the same as she had when they’d stayed there as outlaws."
Lymond takes Willa back to the Ostrich Inn; the tryst they didn't have that night comes to fruition.

Summary
“All she knew was that a much larger gang of men was shoving them around, swearing; that they were rising to it; and that the whole thing had begun to boil over enough to attract security.
“That looks bad,” Randy said, and Willa gritted her teeth.
“Stay back, and get that drink if ye want it.”"Series

Each rumor a bullet by word_docs_and_willowboughs for sshysmm
Fandoms: Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett
28 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Notes: Genderbend of sshysmm’s Lymond Band AU. See here for a quick summary of the AU premise, and the first entry of the series for a more-involved overview of the genderbent band AU.
This is a rework of Lymond’s being captured and taken to Threave and tortured.
The background: Frances was stuck in a recording contract with the Irish mob in NYC pre-canon (galleys era); in the 70s and 80s it smuggled weapons to the IRA. Frances is framed for helping get an arms shipment out of NYC. Willa heard rumors that Frances was involved with the IRA, but didn't believe it at first. When she’s convinced (via the Dandy Hunter Rumor Mill) that it IS true, things start to devolve from there.
Turkey Mat does not die in this; he is ill, though. Like in band AU canon, he contracted HIV from heroin use in NYC in the late 70s, which Frances knows but Willa only finds out when he’s hospitalized briefly.
The title is from “Each Dollar A Bullet” by Stiff Little Fingers, because it’s Belfast punks tearing into Irish Americans paying to arm the IRA, which is… exactly what the accusations are.

Three Scenes from the Life and Times of Johnnie Bullo by bigbadunderclass
Fandoms: Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett
24 May 2023
Tags
Summary
Three short snippets from Johnnie Bullo's time with the Master of Crawford and his band of ruffians. Johnnie plays a trick, watches Francis find something precious during a raid, and has an honest conversation with a certain temperamental red-head.
Nights like these, Johnnie Bullo reflected, were what he had joined Lymond for.
Peel Tower was alive with ruffians: it was one of those rare occasions when the full force of every one of Lymond’s hard-drinking, hard-brawling, hard-working adherents was brought to bear on the lower rooms for an altogether welcome evening of nothing more pressing than several barrels of good ale.

Day 15: Francis responding to Will's injury, though not quite ‘processing’ it because he has a lot going on and really needs to sleep.
CW: hospital setting, reference to stabbing and operations, nose-bleed and broken nose, drugs mention, coming down, pregnancy mention, injury and wound care, vague allusions to SA (but only if you know what happened with Joleta, which...you do, so I’m flagging it). -

There's 31 of these ficlets and I apologise profusely for burying other work in the tags. I will *always* tag these as 'the band au' and you can use this nifty extension (ao3rdr) to block the tag if this isn't your thing and isn't what you want to see in the Lymond tags! -

Summary
“Well now I have nothing to bet with,” Will said, gesturing to his own naked body. He reached for his cup again -- he’d lost count of how many this was, but the barrel they’d been drinking from was significantly lighter than when they’d started.
“Don’t sell yourself short, Marigold.” Lymond looked him up and down pointedly.
Will stopped, cup still resting against his lips. He lowered it.
“I’m sure you can think of something to offer,” Lymond continued.
--
Or, Lymond and Will get trapped in the Midculter cellar and decide to get drunk and play cards.

Prompt for a non-AU: what if Francis sat down and actually *talked* with *anyone* instead of being a giant ball of emotional repression?
