So, harlequin_bands. Regency AUs. You'd think I have enough of those going on *coughwillgetbacktobrendolinasoonipromisecough*

However, since harriet_vane is an EVIL enabler, I seem to be writing another Regency AU. One where Brendon is a governess with a disgraced past (dallying with a stable boy!), who comes to teach the young cousins of Sir Spencer Smith. Sir Spencer is amused by this bouncy young man, whose enthusiasm is both strange and strangely appealing, but who manages to hide questions about his past with unexpected smoothness. Consequently, Sir Spencer finds himself paying far to much attention to Mr Urie's secretive manner as well as to the way he fills his regrettably old and worn clothes (his breeches being far too tight and not quite fitting right). Furthermore, Sir Spencer's oldest friend, the dissolute Lord Ross, is trying to woo, unsuccessfully, his estate manager Mr Walker. despite the tumultuous passion between them, Mr Walker refuses to give in to Lord Ross's advances as long as Lord Ross refuses to admit that it is more than a tumble in the hey that he wants from Mr Walker. Fortunately, Walker is a patient man and willing to wait while Ross goes through his tantrums.

To this entangled situation arrives Lord Wentz, a cousin of Sir Spencer and an old flame of Lord Ross. Lord Wentz is known for his debauched lifestyle and delights in causing mayhem - and he seems far too interested in Sir Spencer's new tutor. But will the lovers find a way? Will Brendon lose his flower and find healing through the magic of buttsex? Will Ryan learn to admit his feelings and finally convince Jon Walker to bed him? Find out in...

THE DISGRACED GOVERNESS!

No, apparently I have no shame. Ooops.

Heeeeeeeeeeee.

His flower. Still my favorite!

OMG. I actually LOLed for real at Will Brendon lose his flower and find healing through the magic of buttsex?. AMAZING. I think there can NEVER BE TOO MANY Regency AUs.

Is Mr. Stump the adorable and easily flustered Music Master? You know, the one who is attached to the living at Vicarage but isn't really needed as a Minister....I must know!

In conclusion: You are a genius. Genius, I say!

oh, please, please, tell us more about brendon and his flower.

That is all. Oh, and this: ♥

Please don't ever find any shame.

That story would be amazing! You should definitely write it.
It makes me think of a Harlequin version of Jane Eyre, well Spencer's and Brendon's story does. The Jon & Ryan part sounds hilarious. Of course Pete's arrival would cause trouble.

Brendon is very concerned about his flower! Spencer wants to take care of his flower! Ryan takes the piss out of Brendon's flower (and actually calls it his flower) and possibly comes to blows with Spencer over it. BRENDON'S FLOWER IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!

I think they must cuddle for warmth AND drink an old bottle of brandy somebody left there. Drunken cuddling leading to naked tiems!

Th magic of buttsex is a glorious thing. As is Brendon's flower. ;)

I had, in fact, thought of Mr Stump as a music master (an early tutor for Brendon,and the long-suffering recipient of Lord Wentz's teasing attention), but I do like your idea of him attached to the vicarage. Now all I need is someone for the vicar...;)

Brendon's flower is a very serious matter. He had thought of losing it with stable boy he was dallying with (in the hay!), but alas, they were caught before Brendon could give his flower. But it would be most unseemly to fall in love with his employer and dream about giving his flower to him. Most unseemly indeed. So Brendon does not think about it all. Not even when Sir Spencer makes teasing remarks over dinner, or defends Brendon from the sarcastic tongue of Lord Ross, or wanders around swishing his riding crop at his boots. Especially not then.

I don't think there is any chance of me actually finding any shame. Not really. ;)

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

I will probably write it - there is something so utterly delicious about Brendon as a virginal governess, and I'm far too invested in Jon and Ryan's story to give it up. :)

William? He could be all pale and vaguely consumptive, but with such a pretty voice!

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

I am very concerned about it now as well!

The real question is, why haven't you written cuddling for warmth and drinking brandy and EMAILED IT TO ME already? <3

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

oh my god this sounds like the most awesomest thing EVER. (although I can't wait for Brendolina to continue!)

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

There is something very compelling about Brendon as a virginal governess worried about his flower - I don't think I could give it up now. I am still writing Brendolina as well, though, would never forgive me if I didn't write more of it. ;)

Not even when Sir Spencer makes teasing remarks over dinner, or defends Brendon from the sarcastic tongue of Lord Ross, or wanders around swishing his riding crop at his boots.

i am dying for this now.
