    Summary

    Please forgive the absolutely shocking title.

    I have so many odds and ends of tales for Babington and Esther and so I thought I'd put them all down in one place.

    Some are very long, some are a little angst-y, some are all smut.

    UPDATE 19th July 2021
    These are, and will always be, drabbles and snippets not a fully plotted storyline. However, I have taken the plunge and rearranged them so that, after the standalone AU of Chapter One, there is a vague timeline. All are now titled rather than numbered so if you have a favourite (thank you ❤) you should still be able to find it. Some chapters/drabbles are more linked than others and I have updated/removed FYI notes to explain links but basically they all now happen in chronological order.

    Summary

    Alison searches for love and adventure, Declan never wanted anything else. But sometimes it takes a little time to see another for who they really are. This story follows Alison’s and Fraser’s relationship before, during, in between and after the Sanditon episodes. Canon compliant. Spoilers for the end of season 2 in the later chapters, which will be posted in the future. I’ll tell when chapters address things from episodes 4, 5 and 6 so you can not read those if you’re avoiding spoilers.

    Summary

    Erik and Aethelflaed’s “not-a-relationship” relationship has been going on for a few months, and it’s fulfilling enough - when they actually get to spend any time together. But Erik’s lonely angst is eased a bit when he gets assigned to an Econ project with resident “cool nerd” Aldhelm Morris. Aldhelm is exactly the kind of friend Erik needs - smart, expressive, less burdened with the kinds of toxic relational dynamics that have plagued Erik his entire life. But what started as a friendship starts to feel like something else, prompting Erik to call on Aethelflaed for emotional support…and perhaps a *bit* more than that.

    OR:

    I tried to fill out Aethelflaed’s F/M/M threesome bingo card and instead wrote a bisexual awakening fic and accidentally set myself out to sea on the wholesomest ship I ever did sail on: Aldrik.

    Primarily an Aldrik vehicle, but with a sizable helping of Aethelrik, a not-insignificant taster course of Aldflaed, and a hearty threesome of Aldrikflaed.

    Summary

    Aethelflaed's husband has taken her to the battlefield, where she is captured by the fearsome Danish brothers, Sigefrid and Erik. Unexpectedly, it is her captivity that leads her to the love and freedom that she has so desperately been searching for.

     

    This is a retelling of Aethelflaed and Erik's love story from their own perspectives. To do justice to their relationship, I have attempted to fill in and flesh out the story of the events surrounding Aethelflaed's capture, the time she spent in Beamfleot, and her subsequent escape. This is mostly based off of the show, but aspects of the books will also be present.

    This story has been told many times in many ways, but this is my version; or, watch as the sun and the moon join in a blazing ring of silver star-fire.
