Wimseyfic: Feeding the Vultures

[nineveh_uk]

Took a bit longer to finish off than I had hoped, as Easter holiday appears to have brought the phenomenon of 'aha! Now that you don't have to do anything, you are going to collapse' so my plans for a relaxing weekend of a bit of art and writing were replaced with a relaxing weekend of cleaning the bathroom very slowly and sewing a patch on the sofa because my brain revolted at the prospect of the screen. But tis done, and it was a lot of fun to writes a good old Harriet Vane-centric type of fic. I literally got the idea for this at 3am and jotted down the rough version. My current dodgy sleep is good for something, it seems!

Is this the fic you were struggling to finish? Congratulations, if so. It's turned out very enjoyable. It's always nice to see some convincing Harriet, not to mention bonus Eiluned being supportively bolshy. I'm sorry you pay the price in lost sleep but the productivity boost is great for the rest of us!

It is! I had the basic outline fairly quickly and it was just writing it up, but the ending wasn't clear. I really didn't want Harriet and Peter to have to meet up again, given the story was largely complete once he came up with a solution to the problem. But it sorted itself out in the end.

The equinox is driving me nuts! All I ask is steady nighttime temperature and for it to get light at 4 or 6.30, but not in-between.
