wandering heart

a condition of mercy

London, 1906

Famed consulting detective Shane Hollander is hired by Countess Rose Landry to solve the mystery of her husband’s murder. But the case is only a small thread in a complex web of crime connected to some of the most powerful people in Europe. A web which Shane is determined to unravel.

His single-minded focus is upended by the reappearance of his university rival and secret ex-lover, Ilya Rozanov, now a renowned mathematician with a mysterious source of income. Ilya claims to be in London to give a series of lectures, but Shane suspects that Ilya is using his intelligence for more than just theory.

The magnetic pull between them is just as strong as ever, and Shane’s search for the truth is at war with his selfish desire to keep Ilya out of trouble and all to himself.

Or, Sherlock and Moriarty but they’re having sex the whole time.

i should’ve written this a few months ago, but here we are. i didn’t want to make this one of those heartfelt formal goodbye posts, mainly because i can’t actually write one, but also because i don’t actually know whether i’ll be back or not. 

to be honest with you, my heart is not in the unfinished works i have on here anymore. i’m proud of the ideas, and of what i’ve put out there, but the creative spark for them has disappeared. it’s funny how you stop doing the things that brought you so much joy as soon as you actually have the time to do them. i might revisit the stories in the future, but i’m not making any promises. 

nothing will be deleted and i’ll still get notified when an ask comes in, so i’ll still be around if you want to contact me. i just wanted to let all you lovely people know where i’m at, just in case you’ve been wondering. i don’t use my personal blog all that much anymore either, but if you’d like to follow me on there (or if we’ve chatted on here and you’d like to add me on any other social media) you can send me a message or an ask off anon. 

and thank you.

first one to break

Harry Styles always thought that nothing good came from drinking too much gin. Part of him still believes this to be true, but another part of him wonders if he had it all wrong.
