This is a rather rambling review/thoughts about the TNT single season show Will, about the young William Shakespeare's journey to fame and his interactions with Christopher Marlowe. As I'm moving away from Tumblr more, I wanted to archive some of the things I posted only at Tumblr here. This was originally on my main blog and featured on my Will sideblog Kit Is My Main Concern/
Unedited and my personal opinion.
Brief mentions of Da Vinci's Demons, Gunpowder, and Something Rotten.

I've created a fan fiction series for Penny Dreadful, which is hosted on Archive of Our Own as "Demimonde of Shadows". Like the sophisticated television horror series that inspired it, they are set in the late Victorian era.  I was very disappointed when Penny Dreadful ended - thus I decided to write my own stories, and continue the tales of these wonderful characters I'd come to love.

Please note that my series does contain Penny Dreadful Season 3 spoilers.

There are 5 stories thus far, and the fifth is still in progress (with recent updates). They should be read in order. Please note that my stories are definitely rated "Mature" (they are for 18+ readers only), as they feature various adult themes, including some sexual situations + horror / gore, references to suicide and venegance, violence (some graphic), and other topics that may possibly be triggering for some. Each story is rated "Mature", with its own specific "warnings" and chapter summaries, so please read those for each, before proceeding.

All stories are posted at Archive of Our Own (AO3) under my username, earthspirits. I also post updates on my DreamWidth journal.

Stories (in order):
1. "The Touch of Your Hand" (this one is a Penny Dreadful / Doctor Who cross-over).
2. "Flower of his Heart"
3. "The Falling of Stars"
4. "Sudden Visitations"
5. "Of Wings Shining in Darkness" (multi-chapter story, which is still in progress).

Link to the main series page (where all of my stories for this group are listed): archiveofourown.org/series/498457

Here's the basic information and link to the current in-progress tale, "Of Wings Shining in Darkness".

Title: Of Wings Shining in Darkness (Chapters 1-5) - A winter love story - Part 5 in my "Demimonde of Shadows" series.
As previously mentioned, This story is still in progress.
Author: earthspirits
Fandom: Penny Dreadful
Characters: Ethan Chandler, Sir Malcolm Murray, Vanessa Ives, Dracula, Kaetenay, John Clare, Victor Frankenstein, Dr. John H. Watson, Sherlock Holmes

Spoilers: Contains S3 spoilers
Rating  / Warnings: Mature. There are allusions to death and the grieving process, along with survivor's guilt, and thoughts of suicide. There are also references to violence (some quite graphic), character death, vengeance, horror / gore, etc. These topics may possibly be triggering for some. There's also a bit of strong language + some sexual activity.

Summary: His noble heart broken, Ethan Chandler is tempted to join his beloved in death. Only one thing stays his hand - His vow of vengeance against the dark being that condemned her.  This story takes place after "The Falling of Stars", and on the same night as "Flower of His Heart" and "Sudden Visitations".

I’m very fond of Versailles, and Fabien Marchal is one of my favourite characters. I very much enjoy the dynamic he has with Sophie. I doubt they will ever get together in the show, but luckily there is such a thing as fanfiction. I had not planned writing a whole series, but somehow that was how it ended up. The power balance between them are seriously skewed, and I wanted to write a story where their relationship ended up more. The first part can, if you squint a little, fit in between season 1 and 2. The rest of the fics are canons divergent. The fics vary in rating and warnings, but all sex is consensual. The links go to AO3.
