My piece for the 2025 TMA Regency Boys calendar: Magnus and Fanshawe November. Hosta wrote a snippet to go along with it!

"They're lying to you, Archivist."

--*camera cut to Elias Bouchard sitting in a library chair, Gertrude filing away books behind him*--

Gertrude: “Oh excuse me James can I sneak through?” Elias: “Oh, yes.” *scoots chair* "Sorry about that."

--*camera cut to Gertrude opening the door to Elias’s office*--

Gertrude: “Excuse me Francis but do you have a moment?” Elias: “Sorry, what was that?” Gertrude: “I was asking if you have a minute, Richard.” Elias: “If it’s quick, I have a meeting in 10 minutes.”

--*camera cut to Gertrude and Elias standing in a Starbucks*--

Elias: And where do we pick up— Gertrude: The table over there. I ordered ahead for us. Elias: *studies the table, lights up subtly and grabs the coffee cup second from the left, camera zooms in on the label that says Jonah Magnus. Elias walks away while Gertrude makes eye contact with the camera.

--*camera cut back to Gertrude*--
