    Summary

    Patrick is just getting ready to leave when he spots him across the bar. The man has his head thrown back in laughter, the lines of his neck long and graceful. His smile is its own gas light, cutting through the smoke of the bar like sunshine off the Seine, a literal impossibility at this late hour. Patrick can’t hear his laugh over the music, but he doesn’t need to. He’s so busy watching, he doesn’t see the waitress drop another drink on the table until it’s too late, and she’s already moved on to serving the next table. Now that it’s here, he’s not going to turn it down.

    Or

    Two lives, seven days, one amazing city.

    Magisterial. This is a historical journey that takes on some of the darkest realities of an era and explores how queer possibilities find a way to survive between their cracks. Its scope and ambition are breathtaking and pay off completely. The prose has an intensity that often appeals to me, sentences dripping with images and emotions. It's a story where happiness glitters against a backdrop of depair, sometimes challenging to read but always utterly beautiful.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Obviously this is outside my usual bookmarking purview, but honestly it is one of my all time favorite fics. I can't imagine writing like this - a sparkling stream of consciousness that pours through every moment. David and Patrick go slow and this series goes slow, deliciously slow, letting you feel literally everything erotic (hot damn) and romantic and uncertain. I have a deep connection with this David - the David I wanted and needed for myself laid bare so perfectly.

    Phryne and Mac's first meeting at school (Mac's POV) is wryly mischievous and perfect. There's some proto-gay Mac and proto-detective Phryne and you can see why they instantly connect. Original and clever!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Jack's entire biography wrapped up into this moment. I love the secondary character scenes - Mac and Rosie especially – maybe more than anything. But it's also just exactly how Jack would be romantic: wryly and without illusions, quietly carrying the weight of his history, fully cognizant of the ways he's been swept off his feet and brave enough to embrace them all the same.

    Jack's dreamscape of Concetta and Phryne – this follows a somewhat experimental unconscious structure that's very layered and vivid. Sad but lovely! And it's such a treat to see a little more of what Concetta is (or could have been) to Jack.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An odd premise for a story: all the ways they can get naked together before they actually have sex. But it becomes unexpectedly serialized, and bittersweet, and serious. Jack has a severe war wound, and that's handled very well as the axis of a character-driven story. I found it so interesting and engaging and seductive!

    I have never wanted a missing scene as much as I wanted this one – it solves the whole finale for me, weaves in and transforms details from the episode. Intense, wistful, grave, gorgeous. They oscillate perfectly between serious emotion and light banter.

    Summary

    Phryne comes up with a gem of a fundraising idea for the annual Ladies Auxiliary of Melbourne Holiday Ball. Involves Jack, Hugh and ten other gorgeous gentlemen as 1930 Calendar Boys. Jack deserves to be a centerfold, doesn't he? Don't worry...he & Phryne might play dirty behind the closed doors of the boudoir, but the calendar will be as Honourable as Phryne. It's going to be a great year for all the lucky ladies of Melbourne. And just wait until the auction begins!

    A fun premise, and a tenderly domestic established relationship (Dot and Hugh essentially live with them!). The story doesn't wind its way to the calendar or auction, but the final chapter has an especially lovely sex scene.

    Summary

    Mac takes a breath; Phryne exhales. The trailing skirt of Phryne’s shining dress – starlight and sparkle – brushes the backs of Mac’s hands as she slides them up to Phryne’s knees. Her stockings are soft; her thighs fall open, softly, under Mac’s hands, which clench, just slightly, with the heat that sends to her gut.

    So. Series 3, episode 5. My version of Phryne 'holding him to that'.

    Rated E for subject matter, language, sexual content, and 'adult themes'. You have been warned - if this isn't going to be your thing, I totally understand.
