The Dr is IN

Sir William Crookes was a pioneering scientist credited with many key discoveries and inventions that paved the way for devices like the vacuum tube, CRT, and X-Ray tubes.

One of his interesting side discoveries from 1879 was how minerals with fluorescent properties would glow when placed into a vacuum and excited via a high voltage electric field.

Following this discovery, displays using this technology were made to order and sold as decorative art, like this tube containing a glass sphere embedded with Ceylon rubies - circa 1900.

I am so thrilled to be sharing my submission for the BBC Merlin Reverse Bang 2023!

The wonderful mood board above is courtesy of @maxmagi, of which this fic would not have happened without their fabulous artwork and prompt. 

Thank you to @ravenwilds and @sugareey-makes-stuff for being our beta’s in this process!  And thank you to @bbcmerlin-reversebang for hosting this event!

We find ourselves at the very top of the reservoir, where many start to define the edge of the city proper. Logs cut down by the Waterlogged Logging Co. make their way down the river, often ridden by workers or travelers looking to rest their feet at the end of their journey to the city.

So u telling me Ezreal is out there, looking like a steampunk Adrien Agreste ?
