Summary
Fan poetry as tribute to the creators who have shaped me throughout the years. I have been writing these, very intermittently, for a while, and figured they should have a home somewhere.

Chapter 2: You think you're giving me the world (Frontier sci-fi, and the heroines who are expected to lose their thirst for adventure once they are married to the heroes.)
Chapter 3: A fairytale of rockets, incomplete (Ray Bradbury and classic sci-fi, and building our own fantasies.)
Chapter 4: The witch who used to haunt Potrero Hill (Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and people who have fallen through the cracks.)
Chapter 5: Red shoes. (A different take on the classic fairy tale.)
Chapter 6: Arrival. (Fantasy characters who run away and grow up.)
Chapter 7: Elegy for Apollo. (Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota, and the drive to explore the universe.)

There is a house in Guise, the family had moved there back in what they had then called Year II, in Germinal; some say that the owner used to be a famous journalist before his exile. He is a retiring man, barely speaks, never writes.
One evening, a ghost walks down the path behind the house between the cherry trees.And Camille makes a different choice.

Summary
For Camille who refuses to be safely dead, and for the longest night of Saint-Just's life. For the strength found in words.
Inspired by the photos of the table on which Robespierre had spent the night of Thermidor; and by the end scene of La Terreur et la Vertu.

Summary
The news flies around London, and it will soon be overshadowed by another great performance, another fascinating story from the travels in the new colonies, another play with a king more than half mad, another glance that makes one think – there is time, there is time for a tomorrow; but not for all.

Summary
“A matter of death?” Will says instead of a greeting.
The morning before Kit Marlowe went to get himself stabbed with a dagger as he lay on the bed, in a cramped room, with three drinking companions he's known from his younger days; the morning some time after Kit's former roommate, Thomas Kyd, spoke under... interrogation, and told all that he knew and a lot of what he didn't.
And a choice.

Summary
“Perfectly adequate,” he remarked with mock gravity. “Of course, the fact that there is another monarchy to be toppled does not give you much credit, but then, it is hardly your personal failing.”
There are visitors, at the barricades.

Summary
After his execution, Camille decides to haunt the staircase outside Robespierre’s rooms. Saint-Just may not appreciate running into an overly loquacious ghost every time he comes to visit. At least not in the beginning.

Summary
The one where we have an increasingly flustered Saint-Just running around Paris in search for jam tarts.
A palate cleanser for all the heartbreak that I usually write ;). -

This one's for Eléonore, who had survived, and for the ruthlessness of the world that keeps on going.
And - this one's for Robespierre too. -

Summary
An old coat, wrapped around a pole, standing in the corner of a room in the shabbier part of the city.
A memento of an unlikely, short-lived friendship, though it was really nothing more than a truce. and a realization that nobody else might have survived to tell the story.

This one's for Marat. And for David, in a way - and for all the complicated choices that one has to make; in art, in life.

Summary
“You’re going to kill me, one day. I m-mean, you’re going to sentence me to death,” Camille proclaims, holding both glasses. “The least that common decency requires before such an occasion is sharing a drink.”
On a rainy night, Saint-Just walks to a printer's shop in a futile attempt to persuade a certain journalist.
But look – here’s Camille, the flash of the green cockade on a dark jacket in the crowd, a deeper shadow under the lantern, and that brittle smile, gone as soon as you try to focus your eyes on it.
