Summary
Just poking my nose back into the fandom on my birthday. Will write an extra scene if anyone asks.
Dedicated to Nef and logonaut—one line dedicated to bookhobbit if they like it—for keeping my favourite character afloat.
Would be delighted if one or all of the above, and even someone else, write/s me a Norrell fic (fluff and/or smut preferred but not essential) for my birthday.

Mr Norrell meets Childermass by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV), Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke

Tags
Summary
Maybe this will be a finished work one day, but I've only just started on it after the 40,000 word Epistolary (John Childermass/Gilbert Norrell) and the equally drafted-but-unfinished one where Jonathan Strange ends up accidentally married to Norrell. In the Darkness. In a frock.

Summary
A sequel to "The Dreadful Scrapbook", which Nef posted for me when I had a rest from the fandom following an attack of bad health.
It eventually occurred to me, what's our Gilbert been doing with the Dreadful Scrapbook in the Darkness--and what if Jonathan found out?

Welcome to the Darkness 2: Mr Norrell learns to share by Nefertiti_22002, Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)

Summary
This is a sequel to "Welcome to the Darkness," which took place two weeks after the great Disenchantment of Lady Pole, Arabella Strange and Stephen Black. Gilbert Norrell and Jonathan Strange had been lovers for a week. John Childermass, Gilbert's former lover, visited them and became trapped in the Darkness. They formed a threesome.
Unfortunately Gilbert quickly becomes spoiled by having two such gorgeous men providing him with the necessities and pleasures of life. They set out to get him to reciprocate by doing chores around the house and being more active in bed. It's a long process and involves many interesting rewards of a sexual nature.

Cuckoo's Nest by Predatrix

Summary
Kinkmeme fill for MPreg idea. Jonathan makes Norrell pregnant to keep him out of trouble while he is at war.
I had to think my way round this.
I've never had interest or experience in the having-children thing, so I was going to write an unusual MPreg with world-building instead of having a child character in the story. So it is very definitely an unusual pregnancy, and that's part of the plot.
Jonathan "knocking up" Mr Norrell to keep him out of trouble doesn't fit my conception of his character. The less good aspects of Jonathan's nature tend towards impetuous recklessness, and I can't see him doing something that cold-bloodedly nasty to his wife, or even to Norrell. So he does something he shouldn't, but he doesn't know what's happening.
The OP offered "Total bonus points if poor Childermass has to deal with cranky, hormonal Mr Norrell", and that gave me the pairing: the story certainly isn't about a relationship between Jonathan and Mr Norrell.
Anyway, I hope it's fun.

A Christian Tale by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
02 Mar 2016
Tags
Summary
Inspired by a kink-meme prompt on Mr Honeyfoot's idea in the series that fairies might be telling human tales from their own viewpoint.
I love writing alien-perspective stories.
I'm using an idea that fairies find human reading, writing and books disturbingly incomprehensible: I have put a clarifying note on this at the end in case the reader is completely confused.

A Cure by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
09 Feb 2016
Tags
Summary
Kinkmeme fill for "Mr Norrell casts a love-spell on Childermass".
Mr Norrell decides that he doesn't like it when servants leave. He especially wouldn't like it if Childermass left. Luckily, he's a magician, so there's something he can do about that.
The trickiest thing was how to differentiate this from my previous "spell goes wrong" Disinhibition. Thanks to the people who helped with this!

Moments of Wonder, JSMN Edition by Predatrix
Fandoms: Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
09 Feb 2016
Tags
Summary
May need a moment's explication.
Charlie Brooker's wonderful satirical programmes ScreenWipe and WeeklyWipe bring in an excellent comic actress, Diane Morgan, as "Philomena Cunk" in "Moments of Wonder", where she does a lovely line in flat deadpan Northern delivery of some exceedingly ridiculous lines.
errandofmercy noticed this on Tumblr, and said, what we need is a fandom version.
So I did. It's tonally uneven, mainly because I kept slipping between what I was trying for and Sellars & Yeatman, but I think it's funny.
If anyone wants to know where I came up with the Nightmare Fuel of animals tied together, look up "Rat King".

A Horse is Human by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
10 Jan 2016
Tags
Summary
I put up a prompt on the kinkmeme about wish-magic that turned out to interest nobody but me.
So I wrote an accidental transformation story.
Title from Catcher in the Rye: "I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake."
"Pseudo-bestiality" because I don't consider the determinant what the participants look like but level of sapience and consent. A fantastic creature that is emotionally and intellectually human should certainly not be considered a "beast"!
However, because of grey consent issues (not sure if a centaur reacting to a mare in heat can be considered to consent to human sex, also Mr Norrell is in a position of not only authority but greater agency than this Childermass) the interspecies acts are restricted to dreams and fantasies.

Ménage à Quelques by Nefertiti_22002, Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV), Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
05 Jan 2016
Tags
Summary
"Ménage à trois" more properly refers to a household, under one roof, arrangement. I'm using the more common English usage of "threesome", but this is complicated. One of the party enjoys events from the sidelines and doesn't touch. The other three are together on the bed. Would that be "ménage à trois et demi" (three-and-a-half-some)? Or it's affectively a foursome where two primary couples get on well and play together. Somewhere between three-and-a-half and four.
So I chose the French for "household of several" to dodge the question, sticking to the French phraseology because "severalsome" sounds weird and because there's a fair bit of relationship stuff as well as the actual shagging.

A Bunch of Spoons and a Spork by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV), Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
20 Dec 2015
Tags
Summary
...title courtesy of Urban Dictionary, where "sporking" is defined as "spooning with an erection". Despite that, only chapters 3 and 6 are sexually-explicit (chapter five is implied femslash)
Written for a kinkmeme fill where the OP wanted something with feeding but less sexually-focused than the one I'd written before ("Helping Hand"). So I decided to put some effort into making it different, and actually put in a few different sorts of feeding (hurt/comfort, feeding an invalid, kinky roleplay with hand-feeding (the research I'd done on Regency sweets was helpful), feeding people with their hands disabled through magic), before making the one different thing sexual intimacy for the end chapter.
I even put in all the characters/pairings she suggested!

A Bad Bargain Bettered by Blissful Buggery by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
07 Nov 2015
Tags
Summary
This is a bit unusual for one of mine, if recognisable. I warned for non-con or dub-con because I'm using a fantasy trope (human wants to but can't get out of something he promised to a fairy) in a sexual context. In real life, consent can be revoked, but in fairy tales even the unfairest bargains stand. If this sort of unwilling sex plot is triggering for you, please leave it (or just read the second chapter).
The Sexual Horror tag is not for particular acts but an attempt to imagine sex with a being who seems unnatural, inhuman, wrong. This is all in the first chapter.
Then (this is one of my stories) things get a lot better. This is all in the second chapter.
This was intended as a kinkmeme fill for a "trashy" anon who said after seeing the Gentleman get all up in Mr Norrell's personal space they wanted to see him do so in a more intimate context. They also wanted him forcing Norrell to an unwilling orgasm, but that didn't make the cut (sorry). The weird unpleasant sex is in, though.
It's AU in the "weak" or "branching" sense (as opposed to the "strong" or "coffee-shop"/"Hogwarts" sense) but the plot/AU bit is a fairly minor part of the story.

In Which Mr Norrell Gets Closer To A Woman Than He Ever Expected He Would by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
03 Nov 2015
Tags
Summary
Answer to my own prompt on the kink-meme when I got suddenly inspired. What if a Fairy transformed Gilbert Norrell into an exact duplicate of Arabella? So Jonathan can have what he wanted (Arabella) and Gilbert can have what he wanted (Jonathan), so they'd both be happy. Or that's what the Fairy thought, anyway.
Contains ridiculous quantities of slightly-weird sex (and Norrell in no knickers because he can't figure out stays or women's underwear), the peculiar nature of cats in Faerie, a cameo appearance by the new King of Hope-regained, and it all turns out very well, considering.
Oh, I should have noted that it's a strictly time-limited change and our Gilbert is soon back to normal!

In Which Mr Norrell is Impatient (and Childermass Does His Best to Satisfy Requirements) by Predatrix for errandofmercy
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
17 Oct 2015
Tags
Summary
I did a quick post on Tumblr about Childerrell/a.k.a. Spiced Dumpling, and it got such a nice response (particularly from errandofmercy, thank you, dear) that I ended up ficcing it.
I have to apologise to errandofmercy for giving her the idea of the threesome fantasy to write--and then using it myself because it fitted into the fic I was writing so well! Oops.
Hope this is suitably filthy, anyway.

Sonnet of Warm Praise for a Chilly Lover by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV), Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
02 Oct 2015
Tags
Summary
Prompt for Norrell/Childermass praise kink on the kinkmeme. I'm sure our Gilbert feels insecure and wants to be told how lovely he is occasionally--he's canonically so vulnerable to people who seem impressed!
This is my attempt at fitting that into a sonnet. Since my sonneteering is lately rusty, its rhyme scheme is flawed by one vowel-rhyme and one sight-rhyme in the final couplet (it was Dumpling Day on Tumblr, and they were daring people to fit the phrase "not in Sutton-Grove" into unlikely places. That's my story and I'm sticking to it).

Disinhibition by Predatrix
Fandoms: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
25 Sep 2015
Tags
Summary
A kinkmeme fill for the prompt: "Norrell wants to have physical relations with his servant without having to talk about it. So he casts a spell for Childermass to lose all inhibitions--without realising there are non-sexy inhibitors and Childermass will just get bloody furious. Then he realises he's unexpectedly incredibly turned-on."
Various pervs on the kinkmeme were trying to think of how this start could lead to Happy Fun Sex Times.
The reason this is any good is thanks to Lempo Soi, who reminded me that Happy Fun Sex Times would certainly not be in the immediate vicinity of this idea, because Childermass would be so angry. So I had to think of how to sort it out without bloodshed (and how one might negotiate the sex after something like that).
It also has a touch of another prompt--"So what happened when Norrell told the Duke of Devonshire off for talking over Childermass?"
