Summary
For one who had always had to fight for her place - who knew the ceaseless weariness of justifying her existence - the undemanding love of those around her would only have baffled Marthe. She had been a missile on a course of destruction, driven to deliver her news into the heart of a family that she saw did not want her. There was no sentimentality left in what Marthe had felt about Francis, Philippa, Richard or any of the others. She would not have looked for a kind word in the yard, and yet now she lay, delirious but pliant beneath the many hands that pushed her golden hair back from fever-sticky skin, those that squeezed her knuckles as their owners told her she could come through this, and those that clasped together in prayer over her bedside.
Marthe survives the end of the series and has to come to terms with Francis's choice to destroy the document she brought him. Healing at Midculter, she tries to understand her place in the family that bears her less ill-will than she expected.
From Lise's prompts:
6. Prompt for an AU: Marthe lives AU! post-series terrible siblings.
7. Prompt for a non-AU: post-series everyone dealing with their trauma. -

Summary
Eloise Crawford, thirteen and headstrong, has managed to sneak home for a visit though she's recently been placed in the convent at Lymond. Word travels fast, and she already has a visitor of her own.
Another prompt for f/f February! Cuteness with a tinge of sadness, and the general louring spectre of Gavin over it all.

Music is a made-up thing like myth by sshysmm
Fandoms: Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett
12 Oct 2019

Summary
Francis Crawford was one of the biggest names in twentieth century music. His grandson, who shares his name, wants to be known for his own style and not defined by his famous relative. After winning a battle of the bands competition at Solway Moss, he is snapped up by Lennox Records, and soon finds success isn't everything it's cracked up to be.
It's 1979, the Tories just won an election, and the power may be back on but punk is dead and life looks grim. What else is there for a precociously talented teenager to do but embrace all the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll he can get a handle on?

About the archive warnings: You'll know if you've read LC about the age gap between Francis and Margaret. In the UK the age of consent is 16, but I'm aware it may not be elsewhere; on the other hand, you can't legally buy alcohol until you're 18. Basically, expect teenagers doing stupid things, the same sort of nasty relationships you find in canon, and a lot of obnoxious references to music of the '70s/'80s.Series

There's 31 of these ficlets and I apologise profusely for burying other work in the tags. I will *always* tag these as 'the band au' and you can use this nifty extension (ao3rdr) to block the tag if this isn't your thing and isn't what you want to see in the Lymond tags! -

Summary
All their lives, Sybilla loved one of her sons-- one of her children-- more than the other, and set the two of them at each others' throats when it suited her. And now they are grown old, and wise, and almost friends. Richard has sons, and Francis, daughters, and though she loves them all the grandchild Sybilla loves best is not hers at all.
