Miss Scarlet 5.04

It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything on this tag. But I just watched episode three of season six. And Patrick Nash, the man you are. He sent half of London (and Moses) on a wild goose chase after a diamond that was never actually there. All of that just for him to go to Southampton to see Eliza.

Poor Clarence probably has to deal with long-term consequences (like not knowing where half of his things are anymore), Moses has missed some very important quality time with his wife, and Alexander now has a complex about Patrick and Eliza’s relationship (considering she lied for him, even though she would probably do that for other people too ngl).

Here we go again! I started posting a new fanfic that attempts to answer the question "what if Eliza and Patrick kissed after season 2 instead of not kissing?" And to get there, we need something resembling a mystery, a bit of plot, and yes- kissing.

Set after Season 2/beginning of season 3 (and before Hotel St Marc in canon)

Patrick Nash convinces Eliza Scarlet to work a case with him at the countryside estate of a reclusive philanthropist. Teaming up in close quarters means warming up to each other, and after a shared kiss (or two), they strike a different kind of deal to satiate their curiosity about one another. They agree to absolutely not develop feelings for one another.

Prison Survival Kit (front row, left to right): 1. A mirror. Cannot be seen in Newgate looking less than my best... especially if a certain lady detective turns up! 2. Whiskey. Asked for Macallan, got the knockoff, Loch McKellan. Not as potent as the homemade stuff, but it does the trick. 3. Tobacco and rolling papers. I don't smoke, but it is a rather useful bartering tool. 4. A soft bristle brush. Might work on getting the old curl back if Fulton can procure some pomade!
