    Summary

    A chronicle of the years between the first meeting between Richelieu and young diplomat Mazarini and the fateful year 1642.

    A piece of historical fiction extrapolating the feelings shared between those two brilliant politicians uniting their skills in many ways to keep France safe at the turn of an era.
    Must be read in a more historical universe where Armand's heart and soul belong to the King of France only.

    Will be a side piece to a bigger, longer fic to come, eventually, this year.

     

    Thank you, Doctor, my consultant in Italian!

    Summary

    Another Tumblr prompt gone wild.

    The prompt is simple: an Armand/Louis/Treville threesome.
    The only slightly believable way I have found to justify it : not as simple.

    Prepare for politics, trauma, angst, feelings, but above all lots, LOTS AND LOTS OF SMUT.
    This is FILTHY, even to my standards. You have been warned.

     

    Reminder : I work with Historical! Richelieu, Historical!Louis XIII and BBC! Treville.
    The blend feels weird on the tongue but has a sweet aftertaste.

    Summary

    Ten years of Richelieu and Louis XIII's life, between 1624 and 1634, from Richelieu's first Royal Council to the Thirty Years War.
    Ten years of pure French History, with an added twist : Armand and Louis do more, much more than just work together for France.

    Don't be fooled by the historical details, the violence, the angst : this is gay romance, and nothing else. This is the ten-years journey of a lonely King learning to become a better man for the love of a visionary priest.

    Summary

    Stepping into his office, frowning at the poorly joined floor boards, Bush wonders if Cotard has been to Smallbridge, or is on his way there now. He doesn't know why else a French soldier might travel this way.

    Summary

    It is generally known what happened the day Captain Hornblower said goodbye to his crew and to Hotspur. It is somewhat less well known what happened two days prior-- when he said goodbye to his first lieutenant and Hotspur on more intimate terms. (Or: in which Bush and Hornblower slide down the slippery slopes of sentiment.)
