Elaborate Lives - Chapter 26 - Theloversthedreamersandme82 - The Doctor Blake Mysteries [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: The fallout from Mei Lin's return continues as she makes things difficult for everyone.

Notes: Thank you for all of your comments on the last chapter, i loved hearing your thoughts on Mei Lin. She's sticking around for a bit, so strap yourself in. I've really loved delving into this scenario, and writing Mei Lin as a bitch has been SO fun :)

I've had to make all of my works only available to members of AO3. There were some scummy people stealing other peoples works and posting them elsewhere. Sorry to any of you who were reading there as a guest. I don't have any invitations at the moment either, and I've all but given up on ff.net. If you're really having trouble accessing it let me know and I'll see what i can do.

*** NOW UP TO DATE ON FF.NET***

Yes, still obsessed. And I don't want it any other way.

I feel like I'm misremembering things (which adhd could be true) and I can't recall WHERE in the series it is, but I could have sworn we saw Lucien's birthday

@olafur-neal and I are certain it was on some paperwork - so possibly somewhere in seasons 2 or 3, but could have also been in files somewhere throughout the series?

I know we as a fandom have debated on Jean's birthday, but has Lucien's birthday ever been given a date?

rewatching doctor blake mysteries (ep 4x04) and my god lucien was insane to invite alice over for dinner literally the day after mei lin showed up alive. insane.

20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by @holy-ships-x-red-lips. Thanks, Danielle!

How many works do you have on AO3? 58 (whoa wtf)

What's your total AO3 word count? 208,594

What fandoms do you write for? Right now, mainly Hart to Hart, Gunpowder Milkshake, and 911, but I've written works for The Conjuring, The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Bates Motel, Major Crimes, Star Trek Voyager, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Hawkeye, The Closer, and The Raven Cycle.

What are your top fics by kudos? Echo (The Conjuring), It's Time That You Won (Star Trek: Voyager), I Heard a Melody (Bates Motel), Waking Moments (Star Trek: Voyager)

Do you respond to comments? I sure try to!

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I usually write angst in the middle and wrap it up with some comfort, so I guess I'll go with my angstiest fic? Destined Not to Be Forever, a Bates Motel fic about Norman attacking Dylan on the night of his and Norma's murder/suicide.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Sparkling Silence of a Dream, hands down, made me the happiest. To give Lucien and Jean back their happy ending was my joy.

Do you get hate on fics? I've been very fortunate to not get any hate. (*runs outside to knock on a tree*)

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes, I'm a dirty bird. I write mostly m/f, but want to try my hand at some f/f (looking at you, ScarletxMay)

Do you write crossovers? I wrote one for TDBM and The Conjuring, and there were about 4 people who understood it, but it was so fun.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to my knowledge.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? I consider Sparkling Silence to be co-written by @escapewithstories. We conceptualized that fic together, during the worst of the pandemic, and it's our baby. @madelineusherspearls and I are looking to co-write a Star Wars fic together soon!

What's your all time favorite ship? Oh gosh that's such a tough question. I think I'd have to go with Lucien x Jean from TDBM. I always come back to them in times of trouble.

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I don't want to be negative, so I won't say I won't ever finish any of my WIPs that I *want* to finish!

What are your writing strengths? I write some mean dialogue, and I'm pretty good at getting to know a character and their voice.

What are your writing weaknesses? Sometimes I find myself skipping through something important spacially to get to the root of what I want to do or say, and it throws off the scene.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? If you're writing extended dialogue in another language, I find it less messy to mention that the character is using another language, but write it in whatever language you're using for the rest of the fic. It's less jarring, and using Google translate isn't always reliable/accurate.

First fandom you wrote for? As a kid, I wrote Kim Possible fic before I knew what fic was. It was hilarious.

Favorite fic you've written? Sparkling Silence, again.

Elaborate Lives - Chapter 23 - Theloversthedreamersandme82 - The Doctor Blake Mysteries [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: Jean attempts to return to work, but struggles. Relationships continue to develop, both between Lucien and Jean, and Matthew and Alice

Notes: Phew! It's been over a year since I updated this. I was writing for a different fandom for a few months, and that was time sensitive as I wanted to get it out before S2 aired, and then early this year my best friend died. I've just been focusing on getting through the day and haven't had much brain space left to write. I've also been discovering that I have ADHD. This update is nice and long for you to enjoy. Please be assured that unless I've actively said I'm not working on this anymore, I'm still intending to finish it, and don't harass me about it. I do this in my spare time, for free. I'm currently working on the next three chapters which have the bare bones written. If you've read any of my other stuff the scenes between Matthew and Alice may seem familiar. I've reused and rewritten some of the stuff from one of my other stories.

I'm giving up on ff.net for now. It's buggy and a lot harder to use. Sorry.

[fanartandstuffilove]

These two are still on my mind. I wish there were more adventures for them to explore and us to watch.

Craig McLachlan in The Doctor Blake Mysteries (2013) Still Waters

S1E1

It's 1959 and Dr. Lucien Blake has recently returned to his hometown of Ballarat and taken over his deceased father's medical practice. He's also the local police surgeon. Blake is scarred by his experiences as a prisoner of war in Japanese-occupied Singapore during World War II and as a result engages in self-destructive behavior. After the police find 17 year-old Ann Fitzgerald floating in Lake Wendouree, Blake determines she was killed after being struck by a car. He also finds that she was pregnant. Ann was a resident at the Ballarat Reform School for Girls and Blake suspects the handsome teacher Phillip Morrisey may have been the father. Phillip may have also been manufacturing amphetamines for some of the locals. Chief Supt. Lawson charges Morrisey with murder but Blake believes the culprit to be someone else.

*There is a discussion and tv footage of US President JF Kennedy and his assination. This happened in late 1963. Presumably well after this story.

[rahleeyah]

There's this Australian show I need y'all to watch called the Doctor Blake Mysteries and anyway there's a point where lonely sad alcoholic widower Lucien Blake is finally ready to move on and choose happiness and love with his beautiful housekeeper Jean and they are sitting on the sofa together and he pulls out his mother's ring which he has sneakily had resized for Jean and he begins to propose to her while she's watching him wide eyed and hopeful but someone knocks on the door and he has to go to answer it, expecting to see their boarder, only to discover his long dead wife standing on the doorstep, and anyway the cut from Jean this is my mother's ring to Lucien? Who is it?/My wife is so profoundly devastating but also leads into some of my favorite episodes of the entire show and in the long term really strengthens his relationship with and commitment to Jean, and Lucien isn't Catholic (anymore. Jean is. That is a Problem later on) but it's the late fifties-early sixties and no fault divorce isn't a thing so the only way for him to divorce his wife or be divorced from her is for one of them to argue that the other committed adultery (could be very socially damaging for Jean, who lives in Lucien's house, if he was publicly accused of adultery) or abandonment and that entire predicament is delicious and makes for such compelling viewing and all of that has been running on a loop in my head for the last twelve hours

Dear Yuletide Writer letter 2023

Dear Author,

Hi! Thank you for writing for me. Hope the end of 2023 finds you well.

I’m requesting my absolute favorite things I’ve read and watched this year. My Optional Details are EXTREMELY optional: anything you write in these fandoms is going to bring me joy.  If you have any questions, anon asks are turned on.

My requests this year are: the Doctor Blake Mysteries, the Dom DM, Vespertine, Several People Are Typing..., The Seven (Dimension 20), Demon 79 (Black Mirror episode).

In general, I like romance! Kink! Friendship! Hurt/comfort! Characters knowing each other really well! Drama! Anguish! Loyalty! Weird AUs (especially BDSM AUs or historical/fantasy AUs)! Experimental or unusual formats (including 1st and 2nd person narration, epistolary, drabble sequences, etc.)! Ooh, also roleswap AUs.

Extremely optional specific details that please me:

Dogs. 

Kneeling, ritually or for any other reason.

Character A running a con on someone and character B rolling with it even though it wasn’t discussed beforehand.

Kisses on the wrist/shoulder/neck/knee/etc.

Painplay. Especially caning!

Characters having big feelings about their social role conflicting with what they want.

Righteous patricide (probably not applicable here, but if you can make it work, go for it)!

Characters learning about each other's passions and getting really into it.

General Do Not Wants: 

extremely unhappy endings with no hope of things ever changing, 

underage sex for characters 14 or younger,

ageplay where the character is roleplaying someone age 14 or younger,

drunk/high characters, 

noncon or abuse among the requested characters - it’s generally fine if it’s from a third party as a source of hurt/comfort,

and characters succumbing to uncontrollable instincts (heats, ruts, vampire instincts, ). This includes intense, all-consuming, uncontrollable, the-character-is-literally-a-different-person-now type subspace.

mentions of current IRL wars. Other current events are fine.

The Doctor Blake Mysteries

Characters: Lucien Blake, Jean Beazley

I am so pleased with this cozy show and its extremely creative, hard-working fandom! 

Lucien is a compelling lead; I love how much he loves his mom (even when he learns complicated things about her), and I enjoy his multifaceted kindness that coexists comfortably with him being an arrogant prick. Him changing his mind is delightful to me.

Jean is a magnificent foil and love interest. I love her many ties to the community, and the way she really understands people; her kindness is different than Blake’s, more pragmatic. I enjoy the way she defends him from threats, physical and otherwise. The scene where she calmly makes tea, and they negotiate with Hannam as a couple - magnificent!

For Yuletide, I’d love to read something adventurous or porny. Let them defeat enemies and fuck about it, is what I’m saying. Or if you prefer longing, I’d also love something about that period after they became friends but before they realized they’re in love.

I’d also enjoy a different-setting AU that explores their relationship. Feel free to throw in some more cool power differences there! You could also tilt the power in Jean’s favor if you like: say a D/s AU where she’s a dom but also his housekeeper, and Lucien is a sub but also a doctor! I like the way they navigate their canonical power difference with grace, but I’d also like to see it shook up a bit in fic.

Fandom-specific Do Not Wants:

Love triangles, jealousy. I like Mei Lin, but if she’s in the story, I prefer it to be set after the divorce, with Jean and Mei Lin being on relatively good terms.

Danny. A casual, one-off mention would be fine, but I would prefer him not to have any lines. All other secondary/supporting characters are 100% welcome (I love them all! Especially Charlie, Mattie, and Rose.)

Note: My blanket DNW for characters being drunk/high in the story does extend to Lucien! I know his drinking is a major characterization beat, and you’re welcome to mention it casually or delve into it. But for the duration of the fic, I’d prefer him to be sober.

A Dom DM - Make Some Noise (Sketch)

Any characters

Please feel free to treat it as an origific concept! You’re welcome to use any gender configuration for the characters. A good girl can be anybody.

Is this a nerdy couple who fuse their love of TTRPG with kink? How did this hobby fusion develop? Do they ever switch? Are there kinks they tried and decided they won’t do? What happens if they roll high?

(Very optionally, I like the headcanon that the sub’s failed kneeling roll is because of a physical disability. That sounds like a fun way for a couple to work out mid-scene communication! Maybe the dice are a metaphor?)

Or you could delve into it as an AU concept: maybe it’s characters trying kink in a universe operating under TTRPG rules? Or kink is innately tied in with magic somehow? Are there Kink Bards and Kink Rogues and Kink Level-Ups? Feel free to add any amount of convoluted fantasy/sci-fi worldbuilding to it. 

Fandom-specific Do Not Wants:

Outright RPF! I don’t mind RPF usually, but for this fandom, I prefer a degree of separation from the creators. Absolutely feel free to include other Brennan moments in your characterization (like his thoughts on DMing as submission). But please don’t have the dom character be named Brennan, and don’t base the other character on from the Dropout cast. 

Note: My noncon DNW applies, but I’d be perfectly happy with some bodice-ripping dubcon AU where the dom is a Dark Fuck Prince who is all “have them bathed and brought to my - hitherto dragonless - dungeons” and the sub is both horny and kind of hapless.

Vespertine Series - Margaret Rogerson

Characters: Artemisia, The Revenant, Leander

Absolutely obsessed with the FEELINGS between Artemisia and her revenant, as well as Artemisia and Leander. There is so much deliciousness packed into this book.

I love the revenant’s growing loyalty, the way its innate curiosity drove its need to understand its nun (my headcanon is that, when the Raven King was sundered, our revenant got his curiosity in the divorce); and conversely, Artemisia FINALLY found someone who sees all of her and understands the ways she tries to make the world better. She’s got all this strange, offputting kindness and resilience in her - she always did! And now she gets to nurture that and also take care of herself, and all that needed to happen was a lil bit of demonic possession. <3

Leander, meanwhile, is a loser, and I say this with all the love in my heart. I need him to be at least a little reverent about Artemisia. She’s his saint, he ought to kneel at her feet like a worm, etc. etc. but also he’s kind of micromanaging and she’s not doing anything the right and proper way. What’s a sad masochist to do!?!

In fic, I’d love to see the three of them build something love-filled and lasting. It’s up to interpretation exactly how the revenant and Leander would feel about each other! Speaking of sad masochists, I think this is a good OT3 - or platonic OT3 - for some kinkfic. Namely, Leander getting flogged by his saint, or, like in this post by Rogerson, offering up his body for Artemisia and the revenant to get to touch each other. ("Stop hitting Yourself!)

Fandom-specific Do Not Wants:

Please don’t give the revenant a separate permanent body! I like body sharing too much (see also: Malevolent podcast). Feel absolutely free to write a different-setting AU, but even if they’re high schoolers or space werewolves, let Artemisia and the revenant share a body.

Note: I like the revenant using it/its pronouns like in canon, but if that doesn’t work for you, please feel free to go with whatever you like! 

Several People Are Typing - Calvin Kasulke

Any characters

I’m so into this strange little Night Vale Does WFH Hell book, and I’m fond of all its characters. I nominated my faves, but if you’re fonder of someone else, please follow your heart. I like everyone in this office-slash-work-community-slash-layer-of-hell, and I like the way they’re all somewhat fond of each other. I love routine-loving Doug Smorin, Kerolyn of the skinks, and Louis C being too much of a dad to be fully involved in the Twilight Zone of it all.

Gerald/Pradeep is such a compelling gradual romance, I love that Gerald is the only one to call him Deepu, and I love the strange forced intimacy of, you know, just guys being dudes, taking each other of a good buddy’s flesh vessel while the good buddy has to find pleasure and maintain his humanity in the face of metaphorical and literal digital submersion of the self. I’d love to see more of their conversations. More weird intentional hedonism. Hanging out together. Finding meaning outside work or even, somehow, meaning in work.

Rob, meanwhile, has got the role of being the only sane one! Kind of! Who’s to say Lydia is any less real than Rob himself? Who’s to say she’s any less real than you or me? I love the surreality of the whole plotline. Maybe you could write about the wolves? Howling is a good theme for Yuletide.

Or write about dear, sweet, precious, horny Slackbot! It’s interesting that this book came out before ChatGPT got to be everywhere. Combine the two in some unholy way? 

I don’t know, please have fun. If you’d like to write an AU set at your job, or an AU where they’re all exchange mods or activists or members of a spreadsheet-centered polycule, that would be cool too.

Fandom-specific Do Not Wants:

Graphic descriptions of pet death. RIP to Bjärk loyalists but I’m different.

Please no fucking of Gerald’s body when nobody’s in it.

Fandom: Dimension 20: The Seven

Characters: Sam Nightingale, Antiope Jones

OKAY, I WON’T LIE: I ship these two like burning. I ship all of the Maidens on some level, but Sam/Antiope are my favorites and I think they fit together beautifully. BUT I also adore their friendship, and I would love to see more of their canon dynamic but in new situations.

Sam is a delight to me, the way she accurately recognizes when something is a terrible, self-destructive idea, and then she goes ahead to do it anyway. She’s got no reason to trust good things happening to her, and she lashes out preemptively because that’s better than trusting and getting screwed over (as by Penelope). BUT she’s also got a secret kindness and largesse, and I love the way it manifests towards Talura, towards Taffodil, possibly even towards random people they meet on their adventures.

And then Antiope is sort of the conceptual opposite of Sam: she KNOWS she’s loved and she knows where she belongs to - or, at least, where she’s supposed to belong to - but she’s struggling with her authentic sense of self. (Sam’s ALWAYS known who she is, and hence the conflict with her terrible mom, and maybe eventually the conflict with Penelope too.) Antiope is very practical and has BIG FEELINGS she’s keeping restrained, and I love the way she and Sam spark into conflicts, but Antiope is so dedicated to being a good leader, not just because she’s even-keeled but because she’s got a very good sense of the right justice/compassion balance.

In fic, I’d love to see them save each other from Situations. Whether they’re friends or lovers, I’d love them to have a femme-butch kind of dynamic? (If you watch Dirty Laundry, a recent episode had Aabria casually kiss a friend’s hand, and that is definitely, definitely something I can see Antiope doing too). Weird/wacky/sexy AUs seem especially interesting here, like goddess AUs, soulmate AUs, D/s AUs, etc.

Fandom-specific Do Not Wants:

Violent transphobia, worse than in canon. I loved Sam’s interactions with her mom, and her reluctance to be filmed, but I wouldn’t like to see transphobia interfere more intensely than that with her life.

Please no cheating/infidelity, or even friendship jealousy. I know Sam’s possessive, and I love that about her, but I’m not interested in “Antiope is spending more time with others” as a source of angst at this time.

Black Mirror: Demon 79 (TV 2023)

Characters: Nida Huq (Black Mirror: Demon 79), Gaap (Black Mirror: Demon 79)

I’ve been staring at this request like a deer in headlights for days now.

I just want more? Literally every second they spent together was perfect, and I want to revel in that feeling. So I apologize if this request turns out hazy: it’s not through a lack of love for the canon, I just don’t know in what direction to take my feelings.

Nida and Gaap? Are perfect. I have no idea if they’re friends or lovers or demon/apprentice or even some kind of subverted twisty demon/worshiper or whatever else. I’d love some post-canon fic set in the void. Bring in other demons? Make it hurt/comforty? Or just ignore the ending have them explore Earth. I love Gaap’s appearance being Boney M-inspired, and I think maybe the two of them should go clubbing. Or they could bring clubbing into the void? Oooh, or they could try out some outfits. Nida finally has a willing model, if she’s into that sort of thing.

I do appreciate the episode’s deeper themes too. Nida Versus Seventies British Fascism is a deeply satisfying story, and I love just how creepy and visceral that part turned out. I was initially going to say I don’t want a no-magic AU, but actually, I could really enjoy like a kitchen sink realism approach, as long as it still ends on SOME kind of victoriousness for Nida and Gaap.

The crux of this ship, to me, is that everything is almost entirely unbearable for Nida, but, she’s got a hammer and also a demon pal. And frankly the world is not worth saving if it keeps failing her.

Fandom-specific Do Not Wants:

Betrayal or perceived betrayal. They like each other despite everything, and even during their spat they’re sort of on each other’s side.

Edit: it also just occurred to me that they'd make for magnificent vampires together.

THANK YOU FOR READING

THIS LETTER GOT LONGER THAN I MEANT IT TO BE. I hope you find something here to spark an idea! But again feel free to go wherever your canon feelings take you

Hope you have a happy Yule!
