Summary
After her discharge from the Alliance, Commander Helen Trevelyan joined the Andromeda Initiative, wanting to leave her personal tragedies and a psycho ex-boyfriend behind her. She expected to sleep for 600 years, and wake up in a med bay. Instead, she crash-landed on a snow-covered mountain, ten-thousand years later. She is alone, confused, and dying from eezo radiation. And the only sign of civilization is an old church in the distance.
A Post-Modern Girl on Thedas fic.
Many, many thanks to my betas, Dreadlordcherrycake and Duinemerwen, who have advised me on all matters of lore, plausibility and verb tense. If it wasn't for them, this story would still be in cryo. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.
I have a regular work schedule IRL, which means I don't have a regular update schedule on AO3. This story is visually supported.

Summary
The other woman said, “It’s better than the way I was before. Look – I’ve got pearl earrings, a nice house; we eat meat and fruit every day. Hell, we eat every day.” She looked at Clementine, “What I’m trying to say is, you can have a nice life. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”
“Mm.”
“You aren’t a captured wife, are you?” The word she used was rapta; meaning caught, seized, snatched. Assaulted.
Clementine shook her head.
“Then there you are, cara. You chose this life. Accept it."The Legion win, Vegas falls. Two women are taken into the new society, one willing and one not, and must begin to make something of their lives.

Summary
SOLA, THE ANTI-INNOCENCE - Her silver, disco-dancer jumpsuit glints blindingly. “I know you resent me, for keeping what I know from you. To be the anti-innocence isn’t *flattery* from the masses.” Her smile is slight and wry, thin lipped. “Oh, I’m sure you wish I were your Dolores Dei, sweetheart. Your past and your future, to open the pale to Elysium. Sing the magpie song. But I wasn’t, and we both knew I would never be. The future wasn’t mine to give.”
LEVERAGE - This is it. She’s done: speech over, rule over, game over. The people are held captive by the crinkle at the corners of her eyes and the sharp cut of blond hair against her thin back, the humanity behind her distance. They couldn’t protest to her resignation if they *tried.*
PARAPHRENIA [Godly: Success] - You know, I don't think Sola was blond.

Summary
Thunderclan, Firestar once told him, uses a heavy crown made out of gold. They could have made it lighter, and chose not to, because they wanted every king and queen who wore it to remember that leadership is a burden, not a glory. (Firestar says, Firestar says; his thoughts always seem to circle around to Firestar, when he lets them. He doesn’t let himself think seriously that perhaps Mudclaw had a point, but the “perhaps” is there.)
Firestar fought a duel to the death for his crown, watched a queen go mad under the crown. Onestar takes the crown of Windclan in his hands — it’s a light, unobtrusive thing, made out of polished wood and enamel, meant to not be too obvious a badge, so that the king would remember that he was still part of his people.
The king is still a part of his people, Onestar thinks, and tosses Tallstar’s crown — his crown, now — from one hand to the other and back again. Perhaps he’ll be ripped in two. Wouldn’t that be fitting.

The Messidorist Conspiracy Does Not Exist by Heubristics
Fandoms: Fallen London | Echo Bazaar, Sunless Sea
11 Aug 2023

Summary
A general collection of short writings, notes, bits of background information, and other such things I've written in my own little corner of the Fallen London fandom. They're mostly to do with assorted strange peoples and groups, with a loose thread of revolution between them.
None of this is canon, of course, but the revolutionaries of Fallen London care little for the tyranny of authors over their creations.
Including:
* Strange Catches of the Gulper Queen!
* The Tale of the Inconspicuous Informant
* Strange People of the Neath
* Strange Revolutionary Groups of the Neath
* On the Return of London's Trees
* Variants of the Seeking Faith
* On the Urchin-Tribes of London
* Beastly Airs of Whitsun
* Seven Texts on the Liberation of Night
* The Cabals of Hell
* A Parabolan Botaniary
* The Weapons of the Shapelings
* Weird Affiliations of Fallen London
* Criminals of Fallen LondonLatest Chapter: Weapons Found on a Starved Raiding Party

Summary
Nothing ever changes in the Neath. The courtiers court ears, the pickpockets pick pockets, and the everlasting night lasts on.
You came to the Neath to chase secrets and adventures, discover new ways of being.
But you are no longer the lovely girl who sailed across the Atlantic in search of mystery. You are not lovely anymore — entrancing, perhaps, or hypnotic. Fascinating might be an appropriate term. And you are not a girl anymore. Not really. Or not always, perhaps.

They left the island. They don't know they left the island, and don't even know they were ever in it in the first place.
They don't know no one just leaves it unscathed.
[Follows the time loop-break. Alex never went to Edwards Island. No one ever suffered through that night. Or so they're led to believe.]
