Summary
In a moderately squalid district of L0N-D1N, Victor Frankenstein has made amazing breakthroughs in restoring vital signs to corpses. But his partner, Dr. Henry Jekyll, is looking to restore their souls, too. Jekyll's experiments have led him to create a potion that allows him to reawaken his own previous life, someone called Brian...
[Inspired by Jessica Law's song "Raising the Dead! (ft. Ben Below and Tim Ledsam)". Can be read solo, and if you know the Mechanisms that's all you need.]

Summary
Before the Mechanisms start dying, Lyfrassir fades out of the mortal plane. It seems the Bifrost has overtaken their corporeal shell at last. Marius keeps writing notes to them for solace as everything falls apart.

Summary
In which the songs the Mechanisms sing aren't about people they've met, but about past lives they've lived. Each of them has a distinct birthmark that follows them from incarnation to incarnation. And each of them gets those memories back on their 300th birthday, at which point a whole new wave of crew drama ensues.

Summary
Of all the reasons that could be theorized about why certain Mechanisms wear so many belts, few would consider sentimentality.

Absurd and Enduring by raven_aorla

17 Apr 2022
Summary
If one were to ask Lyfrassir Edda to describe Marius von Raum - and by extension his unruly found family/polycule/horde of occasionally kind-of-decent musical menaces - they would have a few choice words for you.
[Fics occur in the same universe, but can all be read independently.]

Our Agency by raven_aorla
Fandom: 18th Century CE RPF, 19th Century CE RPF, Hamilton - Miranda
03 Oct 2021
Summary
A spinoff of the Time Out of Mind universe, which is a Modern AU but also sort of a Psych Ward AU, and has continuous influence from the Hamilton musical as well as 18th/19th century RPF. This series is more Mob/Spy/Thriller, though mental health issues (including those involving gender and sexuality) continue to be important, and only sometimes has Hamilton fandom influence. Some stories overlap between series, some don't.
It's the Chevalier(e)'s fault for being cool, really.
