Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 25 up on Patreon!
Scene 25 of
Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold
is up on my Patre♡n! Wherein Lindsey concocts a wild scheme.
~
“I must urge discretion,” said Lindsey. He had never before shown particular attention to any lady, his sister’s friend or no, and society stood poised to seize upon any rumour of whom he might take as his bride. If it were known that he met repeatedly in private with Miss Devereaux, and did not afterwards marry her, the whispers would grow fierce, indeed. “In particular, I don’t think my sister would approve overmuch of my scheme.”
“What the Princess Rowena does not know should do her no harm,” Miss Devereaux assured him. “Besides, even if I do not become a royal bride, the mere fact I might have been considered for the post will only serve to improve my consequence.”
~
Did you want more Aubrey and Lindsey – but in a whole new world?
Joining me on Patre♡n will give you access to “drawer fic” – aka the 500k+ words worth of manuscripts that have been shelved until I figure out how to fix or finish them.
A new scene will go up every week. Missing (unwritten) scenes will be indicated by brackets describing what would probably happen if the scene were written. Example: [in this scene Aubrey and Lindsey ride a carousel]

Scene 24 of
Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold
is up on my Patre♡n! Wherein Lindsey and Rowena have a difficult conversation.
~
Lindsey smiled, already thinking ahead to the possibilities her answer had just opened up to him. Aubrey at future salons, certainly. But perhaps also Aubrey at a dinner party, or a musical recital, or even, if he let his wildest fantasies run on…
A ball.

Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 20 up on Patreon!
Scene 20 of
Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold
is up on my Patre♡n! Wherein Lindsey infuriates Rowena.
~
Rowena had released her hold upon Lindsey’s arm by then, and as the crowd around them rose from their seats and began shuffling towards the doors, she entered into conversation with a lady of her acquaintance in the row behind her.
The moment she turned away, Lindsey did the same, stepping over the back of the now-empty row of chairs ahead to get past a slow-moving elderly matron in the seat next to him.
“Lindsey!” came a sharp hiss behind him.
Rowena had noticed his unorthodox departure too late to stop him. He didn’t even turn to look at her, much less explain himself.

~
“Do you truly believe it’s mere chance that Graves so happened to recommend you see the play written by his dear friend Oscar?”
“Oscar is a wonderful playwright,” Lindsey protested. “Lady Windermere’s Fan was quite amusing. And besides, he gave the toast at my birthday.”
Too late, he recalled Carlisle hadn’t received an invitation to that particular soiree.
