luzulaArrgh, Firefox updated and somehow took with it all my open tabs, all my bookmarks and all my add-ons/extensions! Oh well. I had tons of tabs open, perhaps I should just view it as getting a clean slate--but it does mean that I might not reply to something I ought to, just so you know.
Also I lost fics which I was planning to read. I have a backed-up system for fics over 5K, where I mark them as to-read on AO3 and also download them to my ereader and keep those epub files in cloud storage. That's like, two layers of back-up. But for fics shorter than 5K, I just keep them open in tabs in a window...which now was lost. I reconstructed some of them via AO3 history, but not all. Oh well.
Anyway! The Unsent Letters exchange has revealed, showing that (unsurprisingly)sanguinity and I were matched to each other. I received this delightful solution to the difficulties of writing confidential love letters in the open. It is both sweet and funny, with dirty botanical double entendres! \o/

Summary: 'Then it must be a cipher that none will suspect as a cipher,' Ewen answered stubbornly. 'Surely if we put our heads together we can manage that.'
On the eve of war, Keith and Ewen devise a code to keep their letters private.
And I wrote the following fic, which was inspired by an idea I'd had for a while, to write Ewen's contribution to The Lyon in Mourning. In the end I didn't do that--I tried, but it just ended up rephrasing/summarizing canon and not being very interesting! So instead, I wrote the letter exchange between Ewen and Robert Forbes (the author/editor of The Lyon in Mourning) leading up to that contribution. I always love writing pastiche of 18th century prose! So much fun.

Dear Sir, I have not the Honour of being known to you, & you will no doubt wonder at a Stranger writing to you without an Introduction, but I must hope that you will excuse the Liberty when I have explain'd my Purpose.
