I had one last prompt from the Runaway Tales set (Lemon-Lime Sorbet) that I was using for the Edward/Julia AUs, and even though I'm not at the comm now (and it's died anyway), I don't like leaving things undone! So I wrote this for a [community profile] genprompt_bingo square. It was meant to be five vignettes but wound up having to be hit a lot to stop taking in bits of the original canon's plot. (I won.) Anyway, a stupid thing to waste energy on really, considering, but I finally fixed the last few details yesterday, and there we are.

What was the original canon? I enjoyed this.

It was basically an AU dystopian future Britain (well, future for the 1970s; it was set in 1991) (but the original posts for the concept are here and here

Well, Charles Terrell on paper looks like my obvious favorite character. Also this chimes startlingly well with the novel I am currently reading. (I love [personal profile] yhlee's Machineries of Empire for many reasons, but a significant one is the way the decisive act of dystopia overthrow occurs in the second book and then a major thread of the third is "so . . . provisional government with a side order of civil war, huh?")

the prequel (which is where Edward and Julia come from - so much of it was all their fault!)

I feel I should have guessed that Edward was played by James Maxwell.

I have a chronological masterpost of what I wrote for it for Runaway Tales, but there were a lot of pieces, of variable types - I took part for three years, I think. (Edward and Julia's story goes from 1949-1961 mainly, I think.)

Thanks! This is one of the more interesting modes of original fiction I've seen.
