After staying up way past my bedtime last night to finish this--because I couldn't just LEAVE them all heartbroken and sad--I'm kind of at a loss for words to say how much I loved this. Having written several historical AUs myself, I know exactly how much research goes into something like this and it's incredibly impressive what you've done here. I mean, it's relatively easy to find out what the EIC was doing but things like the names of clothing items or what they would have been reading or common slang--so much more difficult! And then to weave all of that into the creation of a world that feels real and believable and authentic, yet in such a way that you aren't hitting the reader over the head with facts--well, you've done an absolutely marvelous job with it

Awww, what a sweet ending! This is beautifully written.

Loving all the careful notes.

thank you, Bunn! I hoped you'd enjoy it :) (and truly, the story was fun but the notes were my favorite part.)

I do like your St John characterisation as well : he's very convincingly conflicted!

[stjohn_rivers]

lol the more I think about it the more nervous I become, because I think he's much more movie!St. John than book!St. John.

Oh well. They were both conflicted. The end.
