Well, my dear, number One came just before lunch. I told you of him, Dr. John Seward, the lunatic-asylum man, with the strong jaw and the good forehead. He was very cool outwardly, but nervous all the same. [...] Well, my dear, number two came after lunch. He is such a nice fellow, an American from Texas, and he looks so young and so fresh that it seems almost impossible that he has been to so many places and has had such adventures. [...] Oh, about number three - I needn’t tell you of number three, need I?

@cmninocte​ asked: ❝ it’s the last dance. ❞ - From Hyp

lewis had never been fond of balls and parties. even the small-town gatherings hosted in pwllheli, to which his parents had often dragged him, had never held the same joy for him that they held for his peers. he detested having to socialise with people he either did not know or did not like, and while the balls had seemed a delight for the other young men and women of the village, they had always been more of a chore for him. 

now, that old displeasure, which had once existed only in a vague and nebulous sense, had solidified into one dense sphere of melancholy that sat heavy in his gut. everything about these places was a cruel and sharp reminder of things he would never have. married men complaining about the nagging of their wives, unmarried men begging for a dance from every pretty girl who batted her eyelashes his way, old mothers pawing desperately at the wealthy comte lumineux in an attempt to secure his favour for their daughters — every small detail of this ball kept repeating to lewis, over and over, that he would have to endure an endless parade of parties like these without ever being able to even hint that the comte was more than his friend.

@cmninocte​ asked : [drunk abe voice] ❛ He is literally the handsomest man in the world. ❜

the french doctor. it had caused a bit of a stir, to put it lightly, when news of dr. barthélemy’s arrival spread down from edinburgh. if the rumours were true, he had been spending a fair amount of time with dr. knox and his pupils — to what end, speculation ran rampant. some of the more optimistic members of london’s medical community insisted that he may only have come out of curiosity, while the more cynical sorts stuck fast to the idea that he had come with the express intention of poaching british students for the french schools. the latter opinion only gained more weight, in the eyes of many, when the frenchman turned his attention south to london. 

dr. anwyl, for his part, had elected to reserve judgment. being not a teacher of anatomy himself, he had no real stake in the potential poaching of students, if that was the purpose of barthélemy’s visit; it was, perhaps, in somewhat bad taste, but it was difficult to fault an opportunist. if anything, this only added a fresh dimension to his case for reform — if the english system was so abysmal that the french were ready to pick students away like the last strips of flesh on carrion, then it was difficult to argue that radical change was not necessary.

when the rumour came, therefore, that dr. barthélemy intended to sit in on one of the lectures given by dr. grainger, dr. anwyl betook himself there as well. relying upon the descriptions given of him, the frenchman was not difficult to pick out of the crowd, and when the students had begun to disperse at the lecture’s end, anwyl made haste to catch barthélemy before his departure and make an introduction. the frenchman’s reply, when it came, took him somewhat by surprise, and he had to suppress the urge to let a self-satisfied smile spread across his face.

what is an aspect of your muse’s canon material or canon existence that you never had the opportunity to explore but really want to?

i’d like to explore his earlier life a bit more. it’s tricky, because i don’t want to end up only playing his younger years — people in the rpc tend to just ignore older muses and care a hell of a lot more about ones in their twenties, so i’m a little afraid that if i start doing threads with younger jekyll, that’s all anyone is going to want to write. but we don’t get to see much of jekyll’s past in canon, and it’s definitely something i’d like to explore with the right people. 

for book muses, what is your muse’s favourite scene? why? can you provide a short excerpt?
