This is a semi-auto-translated version of the brief story in German, featuring Joachim Murat and Jean Lannes at the Tabor Bridges close to Vienna in 1805 - from the Austrian perspective. I hope it’s at least understandable.

Summary: November 1805. The Austrian troops guarding the Danube river crossing only need to fulfil a simple task: wait until the French approach, burn the bridges behind them and fire at the French army from the other river bank. It's still more easily said than done...

Alternate Universe/History - Napoleon has been exiled to a small town near the boarder of Wales with a small court of the loyal few who followed him out of France.

In a (possibly reckless) attempt to change fate, Napoleon accepts a rather questionable deal with the dead: if he joins the ranks of mazzeri, or Corsican dream hunters, he will be granted the opportunity to return to France. Meanwhile, a child goes missing in the village, the godson of the Duke of Wellington, prompting the Prince of Waterloo to come to Linwood in an attempt to provide whatever help he can to his friends.

But, not all is what it seems as events spiral out of control bringing disappearances, magic and fairies with ominous intentions for all.

So I’m posting this, slowly, what I have of it at least. 

Will I regret this? Probably. Do I have enough written that I think I can manage a write-to-post ratio? Maybe. We’ll find out. 

--- 

Obligatory Excerpt: 

See, these are not useful thoughts. He’s only having them because of last night’s dream which was…something he doesn’t know how to interpret. Something he isn’t certain he wants to interpret. So, he makes mischief by wandering. Blames it on being the last week of June which means it’s been a year and six days since Waterloo.

Bertrand said on June 18, It could have been worse, sire. It could have been a lot worse.

Napoleon thinks this was Bertrand’s latest attempt to tell him to take the hotspurs off his heels. Settle, settle, be content. How can he be content? How can he be happy here in this dismal town called Linwood, cloaked in hills and heather and more Arthurian legends and ghost stories than the locals know what to do with. Napoleon’s seen two graves for Gawain and three for Bedivere. He thinks it’s funny how the English have accumulated a Welsh hero as one of their own. But they like to do that, have these posthumous claimings. Is one of us, will be one of us, always has been one of us.  

When Napoleon heard he was moving to a stone’s throw from Wales he read everything his could on the country. He said to Mr. Wilson, the man who got them this plumb spot as home in (temporary) exile, Is Wales a beautiful country? And Mr. Wilson replied, It’s beautiful, but it’s not a country. At least hasn’t been since the thirteenth century. Napoleon reread the books he had then went to Mr. Wilson and asked, Has anyone told the Welsh this? Mr. Wilson laughed.

the moment i actually get into like arthurian legend is like,, its so over for me, like i've finally completed my trifecta of boat media, knight media, and roman era media and by that i literally just mean arctic expedition rpf, arthurian legend, and like roman republic rpf. girls pls send help my way

but also this is not including

les mis/france adjacent/napoleon phase

prussia/silesian war era europe phase

the (white man shaped) ww2/axis powers adjacent interest uHRM which took up too much brain space i really wish i were lying rn

the russian revolution/marx phase i tried vv hard to adapt but never really caught on (unlike all the others, which really took up way too much of myself)

like i care about dead white men too much to get out AJFDH

#squeaks into the void

[howlerbat]

okay i'm watching the napoleon series rn. may i request a link to that fic of yours. because there is potential of that sort here yes. lmfao

I can’t believe I’m actually doing this but yeah, you know what, here you go, can’t say it’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever written

I should say though it’s inspired by history more so than by the series? But the series did get me invested enough to look into it

#my high school obsession with napoleonic wars finally paying off #i can only hope someone will someday make a ofmd-like loosely historical romcom about them

The Dream That Dreams Once Dreamt Of

Summary:

“… many of Napoleon's senior officers have become characters of folklore, if not downright fiction. His marshals, especially, have been so bedaubed by careless writers' ink that the true personalities of some of them remain almost unknown.” — Swords Around A Throne, John R. Elting

A strange surreal fairytale about a man-eating ogre and a heroic knight with legs of stone.

Writer’s Spotlight | myoxisbroken

Happy hump day, peeps!  This week’s spotlight is the queen of a historical fic, AU or canon.  The maven of food porn in a fic. And the reigning champ of teasing me with smut @myoxisbroken​ !  Let’s dive in!!

The Basics

MASTERLIST HERE

Any other names you want people to call you?

Miss Ox, myox, whatever you feel like!

How long have you been writing fic?

2 years.

What fandoms and/ships do you write?

MCU (Loki, Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes), other Tom Hiddleston characters (Pine, Conrad, Sharpe, Buxton, Nicholls, Plumptre, and ever-growing), and just branching out into Pedro Pascal with The Mandalorian; I also have a few Doctor Who fics in my Masterlist (Ten/Donna Noble)

How did you get started writing fic?

I was reading a ton of Doctor Who fic and enjoying the Doctor/River Song stories. Then I rewatched DW season 4 and was so depressed about Donna's ending that I immediately watched the David Tennant/Catherine Tate version of Much Ado About Nothing. And then I started to ship the Tenth Doctor and Donna.

So I read a bunch of their fic and thought, "You know what would be awesome? If someone wrote a WW2 AU where Donna's a single mother and the Doctor is an injured fighter pilot that she takes in as a boarder." And then I started to get snippets of dialogue in my head, and ideas for scenes, and I wondered if I might be able to write a story myself. I hadn't written anything in years, but I decided to give it a try. And a few months later, I had my first story completed, a 14-chapter Doctor Who AU.

 After that, I had the writing bug and I haven't been able to stop coming up with ideas and working to put them into words!

Story Recommendations

Which of your stories are your favorite?

It is honestly so hard to choose. I'm only going to choose completed works, because I always love the WIPs I'm working on. So, let's see: You Bring Me Home is one of them, because it was so fun to just jump into a sexy vacation romp with some playful kink exploration for James Conrad (Kong: Skull Island). With Brooding Wings was my first attempt at a vampire story using multiple Tom Hiddleston characters, and I really enjoyed playing with the dynamics of different personalities and settings in that world. 

 In A Restless World Like This Is is another, because I had such a great time writing a fluffy love story for Steve Rogers and an older OFC. It started as a spite project because of someone's objections to older characters and turned into such a lovely experience. It was one of the easiest I've ever written in terms of how quickly it flowed from my brain through my fingers. I'd loved writing for Loki (An Excellent Suggestion was my first Loki story, and my first time writing smut) and for Bucky (We Are All Victims of Physics Sometimes was my first dip into capturing Bucky's quiet reserve and depth of emotion).

I honestly could go on and on about stories but would only sound more conceited.

Which story are you most proud of?

I think A Pursuit of the Heart. It was my first time writing in the Regency/Georgian era, and I did a TON of research for it. It was also my first novel-length story, and I didn't even know if I could take on something that big or write a historical romance convincingly, in a way that felt era-appropriate and true. I was so proud of the finished product.

Which of your stories do you think is the most underrated?

Let Your Heart Be Light, a Bucky/OFC story with a Christmas theme - its companion piece, Kissing The New Year In, also didn't get much traction. But I loved writing them!

Someone is new to reading your stories, which story/stories should they read first?

It depends on what actors and characters they like, really, as well as if they like smut or fluff or both. For a smutty one-shot, I'd recommend An Excellent Suggestion (which has a one-shot sequel). For a swoonier longer fic with smut, I'd recommend either You Bring Me Home or my fake relationship Steve Rogers fic The One Thing You Can't See. 

For fluff, An Unforeseen Outcome is a Loki one-shot with both fluff and a little emotional hurt/comfort. Interestingly, I've written more not-smut fluff for Loki than for any other character. I think I just want him to find connection and love and acceptance so much. 

And if you are a fan of historical romance, I'd recommend either my Thomas Sharpe AU A Compromising Situation, or if you like your fics with a healthy dose of angst, Beside Us When Beauty Brightens, my William Buxton (Return to Cranford) story about what happens after he loses Peggy.

Which Story did you do the most research for?

A Pursuit of the Heart, since it was my first one set in the Georgian era and I had a lot of catching up to do! I research for most of my stories, and definitely for my multi-chapter stories. Even if they're contemporary, I still look up resorts, locations, restaurants and local foods, things to do, etc. I can't help it. It's like I'm addicted to research.

Which Story was the easiest to write?

For a multi-chapter fic, In A Restless World Like This Is. For a one-shot, probably my Loki Christmas fluff All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The Writing Process

What is your favorite part of writing?

When a scene I've had in my head just flies out of my fingers and onto the page, and I can read it back and think, "YES! That's just how I wanted it!"

What is your least favorite part?

When my brain is too scattered and unfocused to actually allow me to do any writing.

Describe your style in 1 to 2 sentences.

Well-researched stories that use the information to make you feel like you're there and that incorporate sweetness into even the smuttiest scenario. Also, food porn, and porn porn.

Who are some of your writing idols and/or influences?

For published novels, Mary Balogh and Sabrina Jeffries are two of my favorite historical romance writers, and I think that reading them has helped to make my writing better. In terms of fic authors (some of whom are also published), @nildespirandum​ and @caffiend-queen were two of the first I read in the Tom/Loki fandom and their excellent quality and intriguing plots are an inspiration, even if I will never be able to write plots as twisty as theirs. Also, reading @yespolkadotkitty​'s stories helped me push myself to get better at setting scenes and at incorporating the various senses into stories, because she is so good at both of those things and so much else.

What programs do you use to write and/or edit?

I use Google Docs. I have also been dancing around buying Scrivener for an original novel I plan to write and shop around, so I'll be doing that soon.

Are you a plotter or a pantser?

Plotter, for sure. My brain would implode if I tried to pants my stories.

Do you write RPF or not?

I have a few chapters of a Tom Hiddleston RPF in draft form but haven't proceeded with it. I'd kind of like to write a Pedro Pascal RPF one-shot. I love reading RPF but feel odd about writing it for some reason.

Who is your favorite character to write and why?

Again with the tough questions! It might be Loki, because he is such a chameleon and there are so many hidden depths to him. I really want to write some multi-chapter Loki stories, because so far I have done one-shots and one 3-chapter short fic. I'd like to explore a longer character arc for him.

What do you think are your writing strengths?

Authenticity because of my research, realistically depicting emotions, and writing in a style that feels genuine to the setting and era.

What do you struggle with?

PLOT. I do think that there is plenty of room for all kinds of stories, and I like to tell stories about relationships. But I would like to get better at adding outside conflict and other types of plot to my stories.

Favorite Trope?

It's so hard to choose between There Was Only One Bed and Fake Relationship. I think those are my top two.

What is the best piece of writing advice you have heard?

Write something. Anything. Even if you think it's crap, get your first draft done, because you can always go back and rewrite something that's bad and make it better. Also, if you're stuck on your WIP, write something else - a piece of another story or one-shot, a description of something you saw, a character profile, a bit of personal journaling. Keep writing and don't let a temporary roadblock turn into a long-term one.

What would you say to a new fanfic writer starting out?

It's hard when something you wrote doesn't get a lot of attention, especially when you love it. We share stories in the hopes that other people will discover and enjoy them, but you have to at least partly do it for your own satisfaction, or it will get pretty discouraging if the likes/kudos, comments, and reblogs just don't happen.

What is a random bit of research you have not managed to work into a fic yet?

Ladies' drawers (underwear) were not commonly worn until the mid-1800s. They were thought to be gentlemen's garments and it was thus vulgar for a lady to wear them. Yes, ladies of the Georgian (incl. Regency) era were generally commando beneath their skirts, petticoats, and shifts. But that was still a lot of layers.

Any goals or WIPs you want to share?

My goal is to write an original novel (series) set during the Napoleonic Wars. My hope is to get it researched, written, and put in final draft form so that I can send query letters out before the end of 2021.
