And so it it begins....
♢ ♧ ♤ ♡ was written for me, so I have been thinking quite a bit about who it might be, and I have not been very successful. There are many potential authors for this one, some whom I do not know well (yet). It has a love of Mrs H as a fully sexually realized human which I tend to associate w Vulgarweed, but it doesn’t seem quite Vulgarweedish. The notes at the ending was quite intriguing and reminded me of OldShrewsburyian. Or someone trying to do something OldShrewsburyian does (I’m looking at you, Sanguinity, because you are exactly that devious). There is also only one chapter, though the story is longish, so that had to fit as well. Saki101 does this as well and writes quite a bit of magically themed works, but the thing that clinches it is Saki101 has left a comment/kudo on nearly every work posted earlyish (I stopped looking after a bit) and this one didn’t get that same treatment. Nor did Three Bowls but that’s a rarer fandom someone may have skipped for now and will come back to. But the gap in commenting on this one, plus the magical realism bent, plus the occasionally longer fic w one chapter makes me quite confident it’s Saki101. And looking at some of Saki101’s stories, which I now must devour, they also do the list of inspirational sources at the end. I call that conclusive.
