One more thing

I signed up for hc_bingo's May amnesty challenge (small/rare fandoms only - a 4-prompt square, of which you can use 1-4 prompts in one fill). I got:

hallucinations / illusions	cages
loss of hearing	fighting

Mmmmm, tasty prompts! Here are some small fandoms that are in my brain lately:

• Joyeux Noel
• Ben January
• Dragaera

I think this would work beautifully for any of those. Like I need more to write these days. But still.

I really love your Alienist fics, especially Catabasis, so I was curious whether you are planning to write more of those? (I would particularly dig something about Laszlo's time with Karen in Vienna)

Thank you!! ♥ (And sorry about taking a little while to answer this, anon; I hope you come back and check!)

I'm not currently writing for it, but I don't believe I'm finished completely! In particular, you'll be happy to know, I have the mental notes for a fairly long post-canon fic set in Vienna; I just need to come to a place where I have the urge to write for it again. In the meantime, I'm still eyeing Alienist requests in exchanges when they appear. :D

Thank you, I'll be looking forward to that! Regarding the Alienist requests, I would also love to see something on Laszlo/Mary. In particular, it seems to me that Laszlo's relationship with her also had kinky overtones, since he was dependent on her due to his bad arm, and she clearly enjoyed his timidity when he asked her to do something for him. This was especially prominent in the episode "These Bloody Thoughts" when she "punished" him for his bad temper by leaving him to tie his shoelaces on his own, and he sniffed her clothes (in the same episode, he also visited the professional dominatrix Mrs. Williams, and was visibly uncomfortable when she mentioned her servant, a brewery foreman who "is used to giving orders, but in here, he prefers taking them" - I thought it could be a parallel with Laszlo himself and Mary) I don't know if you agree with this interepretation, but I would love to see a fanfic that elaborates on that.
