So, over in the PW Anonymous Kink Meme, someone requested this:
"Phoenix/Edgeworth. Victorian AU.
Edgeworth is the son of a wealthy noble and Phoenix is the super hot stablehand who Miles secretly wants to ravish him. They were good friends in their boyhood, but Miles has put distance between them at his controlling mother's behest for the sake of aristocratic propriety. They want each other like (fat kids) Marvin Grossberg wants cake. Strained sexual tension. Period dress. Repressed feelings exploding into sex. Etc."
So for a bit of fun I wrote the first piece of a fic called "The Master of Eastlaw". (Link is worksafe BTW)

It's a very much tongue in cheek parody Victorian novel stuff that is grabbed from Eliot, Austen, the Brontes and Hardy. Fun stuff, no major effort, had a giggle. I don't *do* "repressed feelings exploding into sex" scenes (just the repressed bit) so I just left it and asked for someone else to take over once I'd established sexual tension and nice outfits.
I have had an *insane* number of responses to this. It's bonkers. The world is clearly desperate for parody Victoriana and I am now considering a side career in cheesey bodice-ripping romances. Really guys, it's just a joke story (and not a very good one at that IMO) that I can't read back without snorting tea up my nose.
Fortunately I have had a volunteer to pick it up and finish it so I don't have to worry about exploding sex. Hurrah!
