Summary
Automatic subtitles have confused Margaret's gift of Plato at her departure from Milton. Now, it's America's favorite mid-20th century soft, non-toxic modeling compound created for children's art and craft projects. The gift of Play-Doh. It is meant to be just as silly as it sounds -- enjoy!

Summary
Margaret Thornton is walking through the mill yard on a regular visit to her husband’s office. She is struck in the head by a falling wooden beam and knocked unconscious. She wakes up…and thinks it is the day of the riot, over two years ago. With no memory of their reconciliation and marriage, can Margaret learn to love Mr. Thornton again?
Rated E for only Chapter 9, which you can choose to skip if that's not your cup of tea!

Summary
This is a reference guide intended to help writers of Regency-era stories by providing a quick place to check whether a certain phrase was in use in the era, and if so, how it was used. The earliest attestation dates of phrases that postdate the Regency era might also make this guide useful to writers of neo-Victorian fiction.

Summary
The House was a rose in the garden of the Empire, and the Empire watered its garden with blood.
It had been many long years since the last feeding. But the Empire did not let its roses wilt, and the House’s patience was rewarded one fine morning not long after the new Crawleys’ arrival, when Tom Branson arrived, young and bright and full of righteous dreams.
Oh, the House sighed when he appeared on the gravel drive. Love at first sight. Here is one just for me.

A Breath of Hope by philipaholt for TRavine

Summary
In October 2022, I wrote a one-shot entitled ‘A Breath of Hope’ as part of a collaborative collection of stories about time travel. At the time of publication, readers unanimously asked for more. This is my more.
I’m giving this story to TRavine. You asked me to fix it, and I tried. For you. I hope it doesn’t disappoint (and I hope you have a hankie). Enjoy.
(PS. This is complete and was written primarily to the tracks of ‘Cosmic Love’ and ‘Breath of Life’ by Florence + The Machine. No one asked but I wanted to tell you.)
