Reactions and Reviews
It's an 18th century AU. Bodie is a nobleman attending a kinky party in London and Doyle is in France, thinking about him and the kinky party they met at. It's not technically a dream, but it does has a dream-like atmosphere... I really really wish it had a sequel....[1]
This is an a/u, set in France in 1793. Doyle seems to be a sort of Scarlet Pimpernel, rescuing French nobility from the guillotine, and also doing some unclear kind of intelligence work for someone named Cowley; meanwhile he dreams of the beautiful young Bodie whom he met and fucked at a masquerade in England. This pwp looks like a sequel to something else. Actually it's not fleshed out enough to be a "sequel"; it doesn't quite stand on its own, there's too much reliance on background we don't see. I'd have appreciated some note about where the original appeared, if there was one.[2]
