Love in a Storm - Chapter 1

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Chrissy Cunningham (Regency AU)

Summary: A devastating loss threatens the happy marriage of Edward and Christine Munson, Lord and Lady Hurtsfield. However, when Edward is accused of a crime he didn't commit, Christine has to set her grief aside and embark on a perilous journey to prove her husband's innocence.

A/N: Here it is, the sequel to my Hellcheer Regency AU, "Love in a Mist" (sorry about the cheesy title, I'm really bad at titles!) I came across the Cato Street Conspiracy while researching "Love in a Mist" and thought it the perfect Regency equivalent of the Satanic Panic, but I couldn't work it into that story, so I had to write a sequel for it. That also means this is more of a legal drama/crime mystery than a romance, but I did try to give the Munsons' marriage some attention. I hope you'll enjoy it. And big thanks to everyone who has read, liked, commented on, and reblogged "Love in a Mist" - without you, this sequel wouldn't exist.

Chapter 1

Yorkshire, April 1818

Edward Munson, Baron Hurstfield, was up to his elbows in sheep muck.

Lambing season was winding down, but Edward, who had always loved this time of year ever since he was a boy, refused to stay away until the last lamb was born, not just at the Home Farm but all around the village of Hurst as well. There was something magical about being out and about in the warming spring air, breathing in the sweet smell of hay, watching the newborn lambs take their wobbly first steps toward their mothers, watching the ewes welcoming their babies, eyes soft with love. Even the dirtier, more mundane work like preparing the barns, docking the lambs' tails and marking their ears, or helping an inexperienced new mother give birth could become enchanting, when there was so much life around. Edward would lend a hand whenever and wherever he could, and the tenants, having gotten used to their master working alongside them, all warmly welcomed him.

Once Edward finished mucking out the stalls, he and Farmer Hopper started spreading armfuls of clean hay on the floor of the barn. Their ewes were all seasoned mothers so there was no need for assistance, but the weather was about to turn, and the Hoppers, being old and childless, could use all the help they could get. "Ah, bless ye, Master Edward," Mrs. Hopper said, bringing in mugs of tea and a plate of scones. "Just this mornin' Jim was sayin' he didn't know how many more lambin' seasons he's goin' to see. I told him, I said, Jim, the lambs are born whether you're here or not, but he keeps fretting' about who's goin' to look after 'em when we're gone."

"If only our Jonathan was still here," Old Hopper said, shaking his head wistfully. Jonathan was their only son, killed when the war with France first broke out, nearly fifteen years ago. "Such a blessin', children, so why the Lord sees fit to take 'em away, I don't know..."

"Quit bein' so maudlin, you daft old fool," Mrs. Hopper gently chided. "Master Edward needn't hear such things, not when him and his lady are expectin'. How is Lady Christine then?" This was directed at Edward, who was reaching for a scone.

"She's well, thank you," he said, though with some uncertainty. The truth was that Christine was nervous about the birth of their first child, and that, in turn, made him nervous, so he had to find any excuse to get out of the house, for anything and everything he did irritated her now. He would've liked to stay close, but, after Christine had snapped at him "I don't need you to hold my hand every time I walk down the stairs, Edward, I'm not made of glass!", he knew he had to find some peace, for both of their sakes.

At that moment, there was a commotion from outside, and a boy burst into the barn. It was young Will, one of Edward's footmen, his hair all tousled, his face pink with excitement and effort. "Your lordship!" he exclaimed, breathless. Will, like most of the young servants, still had trouble addressing Edward by his first name with the same ease as the older ones. "Mrs. Wayne sent me—to tell you—that—" Here the boy bent double, trying to catch some air.

"Tell me what? Come off it, man!"

"—that it's—it's—" Now his stammering was due more to shyness rather than breathlessness. "It's—starting, my lord," finally he finished.

"What's starting?" Edward asked, mystified.

Mrs. Hopper put a hand on his arm. "I think the boy meant Lady Christine's labor," she said gently.

Edward turned to Will, eyes wide. The boy nodded, flushed with pride for having delivered such important news. Edward threw down the scone and bolted out of the barn, and Will scrambled to follow behind, as the Hoppers looked on, smiling indulgently.

***

Edward saw the gig of Dr. Sinclair in the stable yard of Hurstfield Hall and felt a bit easier. Running inside, he found the house suspiciously quiet. He hadn't known what to expect - for all his association with reform-minded ladies, childbirth was not something he was familiar with. It was not a topic often discussed in salons and drawing-rooms, no matter how liberal they were. Still, he'd thought there would be maids scurrying to and fro and the doctor shouting for hot water and clean towels. Or was it clean water and hot towels?

As he hovered by the door leading to the staircase, unsure if he should go up or not, Mrs. Wayne, the housekeeper, came down.

"How is she? When has it begun? Has Dr. Sinclair been here long?" he asked, shrugging off his coat. Before Mrs. Wayne could answer, he heard a scream of pain, almost inhuman in its intensity, from upstairs and rushed toward it. Mrs. Wayne had to hold him back.

"Calm down, Master Edward," she said, taking his coat. "Dr. Sinclair and the midwife are up there wi' her now. They're takin' good care of her. You best get yersel' out of those boots and wash yer hands first. It'll take some time. The first child always does."

***

It did take a long time. The screams of pain became, if possible, louder and wilder, like knives twisting in Edward's guts, then, even more frighteningly, they became weaker, more like moaning or whimpering, as if Christine could no longer find the voice or the strength to cry out. Several times Edward rose from his seat just on the other side of the door, trying to get inside, only to be politely but firmly barred from it by the midwife and the doctor. Clearly, they believed a husband had no business in the birthing room. Mrs. Wayne brought up some food and drink, but his stomach felt like it was on fire and he couldn't eat anything. If he had been a smoker, he might've burned the carpet down with the ashes from his cigars, but he had given up smoking after marrying Christine, for she disliked the smell. He even started praying, but he had never been much of a praying type, and he didn't know what to say except for "God, please help them", and then, as the hours dragged on, "God, please help her", as he no longer thought of the child, only wanting Christine's agony to end.

When darkness began to fall, Dr. Sinclair finally emerged from the room, his face gray and drawn. Edward jumped up, then backed down again when the doctor shook his head. "I'm afraid her ladyship is having a difficult time of it, my lord. The child is not lying well, and they're both weak."

Edward could feel blood draining from his body, leaving it icy cold. "What are you saying?"

"I shall try my utmost, but you may have to make a choice—"

"Save my wife," he said, before the doctor could finish. "Whatever you do, try to save my wife."

Dr. Sinclair shot him a look. It wasn't an answer he was accustomed to receiving, Edward knew. He and Christine had discussed this. It was a difficult conversation, and Christine had balked at the idea, but having grown up without a mother, Edward had tried to convince her of how difficult it would be for a child.

"It wouldn't be like that for our child," she'd protested. "You would be there for him. Or her."

"Yes. But I'd much rather have you with me. We can have other children. But there is only one you." And at that, she had finally acquiesced. Yet, for all their discussion and preparation, Edward would never dream that it would actually come to this...

"May I see her?" he asked.

This time the doctor nodded.

***

Christine didn't realize that a person could feel so much pain and not die. It was as if all the cramps of her monthly Curse from the past nine months, and even before that, had accumulated into an ocean of pain, washing over her in waves after relentless waves, flooding every fiber of her being, drowning her, the brief moments of reprieve so fleeting that they were all swallowed up by those waves. The doctor had given her copious amount of laudanum, and she sunk into a fog somewhere between half-awake and half-dreaming, drifting amongst ghastly, shadowy things that howled and hissed and clawed and ripped at her, drifting with no anchor, drifting until they tore her apart.

Then the anchor came - a familiar hand in hers, strong, warm fingers holding her own quivering ones in place, a soft voice calling her name. She forced herself out of the fog and saw her husband's face coming into focus amongst the flickering candles, pale with concern, but still smiling that smile she loved so much. "Sorry I'm late, sweetheart," he said, brushing his lips over her clammy forehead, her sweat-tangled hair.

She tried to smile back at him, but her smile died before it reached the corner of her lips. She lifted a hand toward him, only for it to fall back on the counterpane. "Do I have something in my hair?" he said, reaching up and pulling out a bit of hay from his brown curls, which he always wore too long. Christine briefly wondered if the child, the child that refused to be born, would have Edward's brown hair or her gold. 

She wanted to speak but her voice had gone hoarse. Eventually, she managed to croak out, "The letters."

"What did you say?" Edward asked.

"The letters. Read them."

His face changed, fear coming into his eyes. "No. Not yet."

Christine felt another wave of pain cresting, threatening to sweep her away. "Read them. Promise?"

He swallowed hard, his lips trembling. "I promise."

A shadow fell over them. It was Dr. Sinclair, touching Edward on the shoulder. "My lord, I think you ought to step outside now."

"No, let me stay with her, please. She needs me." His fingers gripped hers more tightly, but Christine tried to pull away. Once before, Edward had lifted her out of a world of pain and death. He might not be able to do it again this time, not when there were two of them to be saved. She didn't want him around to see this.

"Go," she whispered, then his hand slipped from hers and the wave engulfed her again.

***

Edward felt a hand on his shoulder, shaking him awake. He sat up from the chair where he'd been for nearly twenty-four hours, blinking blearily, rubbing out a crick on his neck. Mrs. Wayne was looking down at him, with Dr. Sinclair standing by her side. The moment Edward made out their expression in the gray morning light, his heart stopped cold in his chest for a second, then started hammering. They all wore the same somber, sorrowful look of funeral attendees. There was blood on Mrs. Wayne's usually spotless apron, and blood on Dr. Sinclair's hand.

"What's happened?" he asked in a shaky voice.

"Oh, Master Edward—" Mrs. Wayne blurted out, tears streaming down her face.

"We've done everything we could, my lord..." Dr. Sinclair said, bending his salt-and-pepper head.

"What's happened to my wife?!"

"Her ladyship will recover, God willing," the doctor said. "But the child..."

Edward didn't hear the rest of the doctor's sentence. He staggered into the bedroom. There, lying amongst blood-splattered sheets, was Christine, as white as the sheets themselves, her eyes wide and unblinking, though her chest still rose and fell with a shallow breath. In the corner of the room, the midwife, sniffling and wiping at her eyes, was wrapping something tiny and gray into a towel. 

***

Later, he didn't know how much later, for he had lost all sense of time, Edward went into his study and dug through the top drawer of his desk for the two letters that he had put there for safekeeping, three weeks ago. They were addressed to "My Edward" and "My child" in Christine's neat, elegant hand. When she put them into his hands, Edward had tried to laugh it off, but she had made him solemnly vow to open them in the event she didn't survive childbirth. It was a cruel irony that she hadn't prepared for the possibility that she would survive, but their child didn't.

Gathering up the letters, he returned to the bedroom. Dr. Sinclair had left. Before leaving, the doctor had tried to tell Edward something about complications and how future pregnancies might be affected, but he was no longer listening. Now the midwife was going too, bobbing a curtsey to him as she went out. Her eyes were still red. Edward found himself wondering why she kept working as a midwife, if the sight of a dead child affected her so. She must have seen so many of them. But perhaps it never became easier, no matter how often it occurred.

He went to sit by the bed and held Christine's hand, as he had done once before, back when he hadn't known how much she would come to mean to him. Mrs. Wayne came in and offered to switch places with him so he could eat something or have some rest, but he refused. There would be things to take care of, a burial to organize, all the pretty little things that Christine and Mrs. Wayne and the maids had made, as well as a crib sent all the way from Naples by Christine's mother, to be put away. But they could wait. For now, he only wanted to be with his wife, just the two of them.

It was dark again when Christine's eyes fluttered open. How small, how wasted she looked! He was used to seeing her brilliant blue eyes light up whenever they rested on him, but now they remained faded, like the sky over the Dales during the winter months, obscured by fog and rain.

"Did you see him?" she asked, her voice muted. Him. It was a boy.

Edward could only nod. He had seen plenty of death in all his time on the farms. Lambs born dead, sheep and dogs and other animals killed by diseases or accidents or predators. Even a person or two. But faced with the death of his own child, his son, he hadn't been able to comprehend it, the pain, the injustice of it. Could it even be said that the child had died, when he had never lived, when he hadn't even drawn a breath? No. That wasn't true. He had lived. For nine months he had lived, in his mother's belly and his father's mind, in both of their hearts. And now he had died.

Edward wondered if it was his fault. Should he have told Dr. Sinclair to save the child instead? Should he have insisted on staying with Christine? Would his presence have given her the strength to save their son? They would never know.

"I'm so sorry," Christine said.

"Sorry for what?" Edward bent down to her.

"I shouldn't have agreed to let Dr. Sinclair save me."

Edward's heart twisted. It was bad enough for him to think these things. He wouldn't let Christine go down that path as well. "No. Don't say that. Don't even think that."

But she wasn't listening. "How can I live, when our son died? What kind of a mother would I be? What kind of a wife am I?" Her face crumpled, and she tried to curl in on herself, but her body went stiff, and a choked-back groan escaped her.

Edward climbed into bed and gathered her into his arms. He didn't dare to hold her too tightly, for fear of hurting her, so he let her rest on him, while her tears soaked into his shirt. His chest ached with his own unshed tears, but he told himself he must stay strong for her. He reached into his pocket for the letters, opened the one addressed to him first, and started reading out loud.

"My beloved Edward, I know you must be grieving right now, and you're no doubt throwing your whole being into it, just as with everything you do, but I implore you..."

"What are you doing?" Christine asked, her voice muffled against his chest.

"I promised I would read the letters. So I'm reading them."

"Not to me. They're for you, and—and—" And the child that they would never know.

"Just listen, will you?" He cleared his throat, and continued. "... but I implore you not to dwell on it. Please take care of our child. Teach him or her to be kind, and honest, and brave, as you are. Tell him or her about me. You're a much better storyteller than I, I know you will do me justice. Please continue to live and love with all your heart, as I would like to think of you. And if you think of me, please think of me out in the garden, amongst the flowers and the trees, watching you always, with love. Christine."

"Edward..."

"No, please, let me finish. I know this one is not for me, but please listen." He opened the other letter. "My dearest child, I am sorry I cannot be here to say these words to you myself. Please know that I love you, I have loved you even before I knew you, and I will always love you. Please be a comfort to your father. He can be exasperating sometimes"—here he paused and looked at Christine with a wry grin—"Do you really find me exasperating?"

"Only sometimes," she said, and a ghost of a smile crossed her lips.

"...but everything he does comes from a place of love and sincerity. Think of me fondly. Your mother." He put the letters down and lifted her hand, kissing it, then kissing her forehead, her cheeks, and her lips. He tasted tears, hers or his, he did not know. "This is the kind of wife you are, Christine Connyngham Munson. This is the kind of mother you would be. And shall be. Full of love and always thinking of others, even when you're not around. So stop blaming yourself. I won't hear of it."

Christine let out a sob, and was still again. They lay together like that, with his arms around her and his head cradled on his chest, while the crib stood empty in the corner of the room, until the gray spring dawn broke again outside the windows.

All of Dr. Robotnik’s screentime in Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM.

I have said it before and I will say again, in Season 1 (before Ben Hurst was appointed as head writer), Robotnik is a notably different character than he is in Season 2. He’s a standard edgy 90s bad guy clearly influenced by the likes of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars (with some Jabba the Hutt in there for extra measure given his weight), but for what he is he plays his role quite well: the animation, writing and voice-work all blends together perfectly to make him a terrifying, psychopathic villain who is a credible threat. However, starting at exactly the 44 minute mark there is a shift, and the show starts to, for lack of a better word, “humanize” him, sadly with an accompanying downgrade in animation. While Jim Cummings still does his best at making him sound scary, the material just doesn’t support it the way that it did before. If we had this Robotnik from the beginning of the show, I’d probably like him just fine. But we didn’t, so it’s as jarring as Cluck’s total disappearance.

Still a good rendition of the doctor overall, though. Not the best, not the worst - just solid.

Even in an age when live-streaming content is so common and widespread, it was still somewhat mind-boggling to read of the early days of webcams, their prevalence on the internet from the 90s onwards, and some of the projects they were utilized for in Joanne McNeil's "Connected by Camera." Influenced by the nature of how many of these projects (by the likes of Jennifer Ringley, Sean Patrick Williams and Ana Voog) capture the every day life of their subject, my mind was drawn to the Jim Carrey classic film, “The Truman Show.”

Of course, the difference here is willingness to be and knowledge of being recorded. Ringley, Williams and Voog all knowingly set up their webcams to “lifecast,” while Carrey’s character in the film is (spoiler alert) unaware that his entire life is set up and being recorded.

That key differentiating point is where the likes of Google Glass and Project Aria come in to the conversation. With these types of devices, as is raised in Mark Hurst’s cautionary article, people who are not users but merely on the other side of the lens oftentimes may not even know if or when they are being recorded (as was the case The Truman Show’s protagonist, before he [spoiler #2] figured it out). As discussed by Hurst, this raises all kinds of ethical dilemmas about the use and potential use of these technologies, and how they could present (among other issues) invasion of privacy, which I think are certainly valid concerns! Similar to current conversations and debates around the growing use of AI in society, this all raises the question of “we CAN do it, and it’s pretty cool, but SHOULD we?”

In submitting this contributed example, I also decided to use a GIF as a little homage to last week!

[junoinferno]

So, I realized Yara Greyjoy is Kate from Upstart Crow?

I lost track of which Sand Snake died? Did it matter?

And you know what Ellara you have got a lot to say about Oberyn dying now when I don’t remember you having a lot to say at the time. FFS…

Also, Jim Broadbent is in this now?! We can’t just keep having every British actor.

(Why were most of the gifs the stage play?)

And also, took me forever to figure out one of these guys was Mr. Hurst in Pride and Prejudice.

Seahawks has its defense to build on

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - There’s a new sheriff in town for the Seattle Seahawks. And his name is not Pete Carroll. For Seattle fans, that may or may not be a good thing. For 14 years, the Seahawks and their fan base rode the wave of Carrol and his way of doing things.      For 14 years, Carroll was the life and face of the Seattle Seahawks. The new face of the Seahawks remain to be seen. Unfortunately, for Seahawks followers, the past will be hard to let go, considering the success the franchise had under the tutelage of Carroll.  But at the end of the day, change happens. Seattle made a head coaching change and hired Mike Macdonald to lead the Seahawks now.

Photo credit: Ric Stallworth/News4usonline “Hey, great first start,” Macdonald said in a press conference after the Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 16-3 in a preseason game on Aug. 10. “I'm just proud of the mentality, the focus that we had taking game on.  “It felt like the guys played really hard, it felt like they were focused. You know, it’s the first game so its the first time doing all the operation stuff for real. I thought our operation was clean for the most part.”    Under Carroll, Seattle has become a well-known operator when it comes to placing a well-respected defense on the field. It’s only one game (preseason at that), but the Seahawks, under Macdonald, were impressive on that side of the ball against the Chargers.   Besides holding the Chargers to three points, the Seattle held Los Angeles to just 77 yards rushing and 121 yards passing. The Chargers tallied less than 200 yards (198) in total offense for the game.  Seattle also limited the Chargers to nine first downs. Chargers didn’t get a first down until 4:27 left in the second quarter vs Seattle.

Photo credit: Ric Stallworth/News4usonline “Overall, I’d say it’s a foundational first game,” Macdonald remarked. “This is something we want to build on. There’ll be plenty of details on tape that we’re going to dive into and I can’t wait to watch the tape and see how the guys did.”   Carroll led Seattle to two Super Bowl appearances and one of those teams actually claimed the championship title. The signature approach of a Carroll-led team was an intimidating defense and a run-first, physical-style offense.  The teams Carroll coached made football fun to watch. He was animated. His youthful exuberance gave you something to cheer for week in and week out. Carroll created the legendary “Legion of Boom” defense for the Seahawks. When the roll call was shouted out, you immediately knew who they were.   Bobby Wagner. Richard Sherman. AJ Wright. Earl Thomas. And the enforcer, Kam Chancellor. The Seahawks were an all-time defense. That era has gone bye-bye. So has the aura of invincibility.  The tenure of Carroll and longtime quarterback Russell Wilson has long come and gone. What appeared to not have been left is the toughness of the Seattle defense. pic.twitter.com/AqgUD7R5yZ— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) August 11, 2024 In may not be be anything except just another meaningless preseason game, but the defense of the Seahawks lived up the reputation of their predecessors. In their preseason game against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium, the Seahawks held their AFC opponents to just  three points in the first half while building a 13-3 intermission lead.     “The offense struggled," Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game. "It took us until our seventh drive before we had a first down. There’s always work to be done, a lot of work to be done. Now, we’ve begun, which is positive and we got a place to start. Yeah, offensively there were some good things. Not near enough. It’s back to work — you retool, you regroup and you get back to work on Monday.” A trademark of the past seattle defense showed up in the second quarter when Sehawks K’Von Wallace leveled Chargers tight end Hayden Hurst after he put his hands on a pass thrown by Easton Stick.  Safety Coby Bryant got his mittens on the deflected pass ad returned the ball for a short gain. Seattle wound up getting a touchdown out of the tip-drill.  “I knew I had to get it,” Bryant said afterward. “Should had two, but you know, I’m thankful for the first one.” Read the full article

Louis Allen (April 25, 1919 – January 31, 1964) was a logger in Liberty, Mississippi, who was shot and killed on his land during the civil rights era. He tried to register to vote and had allegedly talked to federal officials after witnessing the 1961 murder of Herbert Lee, an NAACP member, by E. H. Hurst, a white state legislator. Civil rights activists had come to Liberty that summer to organize for voter registration, as no African American had been allowed to vote since the state’s disenfranchising constitution was passed in 1890.

He was harassed and jailed repeatedly by Amite County Sheriff Daniel Bryant Jones. The day before he planned to move out of state, he was fatally shot on his property. His case has been investigated by Tulane University history professor Plater Robinson. The case was reopened by the FBI beginning in 2007 as part of its review of civil rights-era cold cases. In 2011 the CBS program 60 Minutes conducted a special on his murder as well. Their work suggested that he was killed by Jones. No one has been prosecuted for the murder.

He was a native of Amite County, Mississippi. The county’s population was majority African-American, with an economy based on agriculture: cotton, dairy farming, and logging. Many Blacks left before WWII because of poor economic opportunities, racial violence, and social oppression under Jim Crow, decreasing the Black population by 29% from 1940 to 1960, following earlier declines.

He served in the Army, he enlisted in the service at Camp Shelby on January 12, 1943. After his return to Mississippi, he worked as a logger and farm laborer. He and his wife Elizabeth had four children together, including a daughter and a son. He built up his logging business, doing well enough to buy his land, where he and his family raised produce and cattle. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
