Summary
When I was in high school I wrote a historical essay on how universal male suffrage came to England during the prime minister-ships of Disraeli and Gladstone. Part of the reason universal male suffrage actually came to England is because Disraeli and Gladstone were so competing so closely for voters and whoever enfranchised the masses would get their vote and be able to win the day. What was going on the in the US and France, which had both faced revolutions that gave more power to the people (at least male white people, that is), were also putting pressure on the government of Great Britain to change things up before they faced public unrest at home.
Anyway, I was reading a lot of Byron, Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth and Coleridge at the time and crafted this weird little poem to submit with my essay.

Summary
The sorceress La Belle Dame Sans Merci, (or Belle for short), is a collector of magical items. Tipped off by the man in the red woolen hat, she visits a Frontlands village slave market to locate a rare glamor spell.

As Rumplestilskin recovers from his ordeal, Belle installs him as caretaker of her large estate, convincing herself it is only to observe him more closely. While Belle and Rumple grow ever closer together, the fairies of the Enchanted Forest conspire to rid themselves of the denizens of the Dark Castle for good.

Strike and Ellicott, Investigations by Strummer_Pinks
Fandoms: Cormoran Strike Series - Robert Galbraith
21 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
Gender-flipped Strike, in which I imagine the Strike books as if they were put through a mirror-verse, or possibly, a blender. So basically, characters who are male in the books are female in the story. Also characters who might be very cold in the books, like Jonny Rokeby are warm and supportive in this story. Why? Because by and large most of the former punk rockers I know who became mums and dads are pretty awesome, (if unconventional), parents.
After losing her leg in a street brawl with fascists, Strike Cormorant is done speaking truth to power and eager to put the past behind her. With a financial loan from her mother, rock star Janet Rokeby, she opens her own detective agency. Unfortunately, it had to be on the tail end of the pandemic when the economy was still in tatters.
Enter Ellicott Robbins, office temp, recently arrived in London and fleeing his own demons.
