#fun fact: that last line was from a real love letter from 1816 – from the painter John Constable to Maria Bicknell

WIP WHENEVER

I was tagged in various WIP Wednesdays / Whenevers / WIP Games in the last few months by @barbex, @starsandskies, @aria-i-adagio, @ziskandra, @pinkfadespirit, @a-shakespearean-in-paris, @little--abyss and others too – I'm so sorry I've been so slow!

I can't share my art/fic WIPs for the Dragon Age Reverse Big Bang, so.... I'm sharing a snippet from Chapter 57 of the Regency AU Carver/Merrill fic "A Chance Engagement", which I'm hoping to publish on AO3 soon 🥺

‘I will miss you!’ Merrill cried as she hugged her friend, taking Miss Hawke so much by surprise that the latter dropped the folded letter she had been holding. ‘Oh! I am so sorry, Miss Hawke – let me get that for you—’ and here Merrill bent down to pick up the parchment that had floated to the floor; Miss Hawke had bent down for it too; but, in her nervousness at having done something wrong again, Merrill was quicker. As she picked up the sheet of paper, which was full with Miss Hawke’s handwriting, Merrill caught sight of the words:  I will submit to any thing you may command me—but cease to respect, to love and adore you, I never can or will.

I tag everyone who tagged me, as well as.... um.... @mikkeneko, @hechizero-emplumado, @faux-fires, @jentrevellan, @charlatron, @illusivesoul, @amarmeme and anyone else who sees this and wants to do this. No pressure, of course! ❤️

(Yes, I messed around in Procreate for the banner image above LOL)
