[FANFIC] "Gormenghast" -- "In My Lady's Chamber" (R-ish to be safe)

This fic came about as a result of a crazy discussion with tomboy_typist: we were geeking out over a bit of crazy dialogue in the BBC miniseries of "Gormenghast", in which Fuschia asks Dr, Prunesquallor to "lend [her] an ear", and he innocently offers to "lend any part of my anatomy". This lead me to wonder about a few bits in the Bricks, particularly where it mentions that Fuschia, at about twenty five, is "no longer a virgin". And then there's the bit where a ten year old Titus knocks on his sister's door early one morning and she won't let him in, though one gets the feeling that he's accustomed to being let in. Made me wonder if Fyoosh had company that had spent the night, to which tomboy_typist replied, "OMG, it was Prune!" Thus, this daffy, awkward little fic was born...

(WARNING: Mature content including references to female auto-eroticism: got the idea for this from reading about an odd Victorian treatment for hysterics. Somewhere, Mervyn Peake is blushing...)

( The imbroglio started innocuously enough, as these things often do.... )

[love_bingo FIC] "Letter to a Young Daughter Reborn" ("Audrey Ros

This is an unofficial gift fic for my mom. We'd both recently watched the 1977 movie version of "Audrey Rose" and the ending left us unsatisfied. We agreed that it seemed a bit short shrift for the characters to go through all that madness only for the title character to die in the end, rather than come to some bittersweet ending. So! That leads me to the joy of the fix fic.
