Unsent Letters gifts

As was probably obvious, I was the author of Letters Between Ardroy & Paris in the Years 1739 & 1740, which is pretty much what it says on the tin: a correspondence between Ewen and Aunt Margaret when he was at university in Paris. It was a gift for sanguinity. Thanks to garonne for beta reading!

I was going to refrain from guessing, but when provoked to it, I speculated that sanguinity wrote neither of mine on the basis that she usually has spaces around her m-dashes, but that she otherwise might have written my Jill/Kitty fic A Former Acquaintance because it contained a plot element inspired by the sequel, which she has read. If it wasn't her, it was probably edwardianspinsteraunt, which indeed it turned out to be--thank you so much, it was lovely! : D There are now ten fics in this tiny fandom. \o/

I probably don't get to take credit for my idle thought that garonne might have written my Heron fic Known Jacobite, Cameron of Ardroy, since I didn't write it down! This fic has an outside POV of Ewen and Keith, and garonne is fond of outside POV. Thank you so much--I love that trope too, and it was interesting to combine it with the epistolary form!

I also worked on a different fic for this exchange, but I ended up abandoning it since I couldn't figure out the ending. It was inspired by one of the prompts on edwardianspinsteraunt's sign-up: to have Jill and Kitty corresponding between their meeting in Lugano and Jill running away from home. Jill would have thought it was a great idea to collude with Kitty and pretend to be her lady's maid, but Kitty would be aghast at such a proposal. Despite both garonne and regshoe beta-reading the draft, I never figured out how it would end. I guess I'll reread it later and see if I can make it work.
