Beyond the Roundels

Another one for the Spooky Writing meme, this time one that got away from me. Probably when osprey_archer said I could choose between three prompts for Alleyn & Troy, I shouldn't have instead tried to combine them all, but it's still a whole lot shorter than it wanted to be, at least:

Old Bones Buried Under (2228 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Inspector Alleyn Mysteries - Ngaio Marsh
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Roderick Alleyn/Agatha Troy
Characters: Roderick Alleyn, Agatha Troy
Additional Tags: Haunted Houses
Summary: Murder never, ever takes a holiday. Not even for Alleyn.

I'm back! I'm very tired, so comments and posts will wait/be erratic until I'm not. In the meantime, I'm trying to get some Yuletide recs up before Reveal. I carefully bookmarked on AO3 as I read while away, so hopefully this should be a quiet, simple thing to do?

It's a fairly random first pass of the archive. I tend to read shorter fics, and also have a terrible habit (faced with the chocolate box that is Yuletide) of reading only one or two fics out of a fandom with several in it before skipping to the next shiny thing, but still, an overview of some things I've particularly enjoyed so far, in the hopes that others might enjoy them too:

( 19 Recs in Archer's Goon, The Avengers, Chalet School, Georgette Heyer (Devil's Cub, False Colours, Frederica), Dracula, Fionavar Tapestry, Forsyte Saga, The Highwayman, Honeysuckle Cottage, I Capture the Castle, Ngaio Marsh, Indiana Jones, Jane Eyre, Jane the Virgin, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and Maid Marian )

More to come later today! (Hopefully! But definitely including my shiny Madness Treat when it does. \o/)
