Summary: Kal and Ben are in Dublin, meeting with Kal's money people, who tell Kal that the lawyers for his father's estate need to see him. Kal can't imagine why. His father's been dead for more than twenty years. What Kal finds ends up reshaping his whole world, and although the journey is difficult, it's filled with wonderful people - a family Kal barely knew he had, a friend long forgotten, and at the end, some complicated truths

---

Chapter Summary: All of a sudden, Kal realizes there are only six letters left, and he's no closer to understanding his father than when he started. That seems incomprehensible - thousands of letters over twenty years of a one-sided correspondence, and his father is still a mystery.

Author’s Note:

Three years ago, I found an amazing story, Ever Since Happiness Called Your Name, and it became my perfect fanfic. I have read it so many times, I can recite parts of it. I was lucky enough to meet WriteStuff, the amazing author of this amazing story, and even luckier to become friends with her, amazing person that she is. For the last year or so, we have spent many hours each week (or day) talking about Kal and Ben and their lives. They are quite real people to us now.

One of our conversations centered around a comment Kal made at the end of Beyond the Rightness and Wrongness of Things, when he's talking about his relationship with his father. He seems so facile about it, and I just called bullshit, and said I'd like to write a timestamp exploring the truth of what really happened between Kal and his father. This story is that.

WriteStuff was not only my cheerleader and alpha-reader, but she was a critical reader too, making sure my vision of Kal and Ben stayed aligned with hers, but she also gave me amazing freedom, too. Working with her and her creations and George's (well just barely George's now) has been an honor.

The title of this story is borrowed from the poem by Yehuda Amachai, Wildpeace, which is reproduced in the endnotes.

Chapter Summary: Chapter One - Twenty-three years ago, Robert Cahill left behind a large wooden crate as a legacy for his son, Khalil. It’s only just been found. Fate and good luck, two things the Irish have in abundance, seem to be smiling on Kal - he and Ben are in Dublin just at the right moment in time.

Chapter One on AO3

Title: The Summer Folly
Author: elrhiarhodan
Fandom: Kingsman
Rating: R (for sexual content
Characters: Harry Hart | Galahad, Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, Charlie Hesketh, Original Female Characters, Original Male Characters
Pairings: Harry Hart/Eggsy Unwin (Hartwin)
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None
Word Count: ~6800
Summary: A non-spy AU, set in Cornwall, circa 1924. Harry Hart is a landed aristocrat and Eggsy, a student at Oxford, and somewhat friends with Harry’s young cousin, Charlie, has been invited to spend the summer at Harry’s estate. Nothing, though, is quite as simple as it seems.

Author's Notes: Written for the 2019 poetry_fiction challenge, for the snippet from O Great Beauties! by Tishani Doshi

Just explain the mystery to me.
Did darkness burn all around?
Or did you see, as I see—a quiet wood
Outside the town, with a banquet
In a field of belladonna?

I don't know why, but this snippet took me in the direction of Kingsman meets Downton Abbey (or Brideshead Revisited, or God Is An Englishman if you prefer), or maybe I just wanted an excuse to put Harry and Eggsy in period formalwear.

Fills the "Moonlight" square on my Fluff Bingo card, the "May/December Romance" on my Trope Bingo card, and the "Historical A/U" on my Gen Prompt Bingo card.

Title: First Time, Forever
Author: elrhiarhodan
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, Ellen Parker (as Neal's aunt), Joe Burke (OMC), Cathy Burke (OFC), Satchmo; Peter/Neal
Word Count: ~3500
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Teenage Peter (17) and teenage Neal (16) in the Wonder(ful) Years 'verse, so technically, underage.
Beta Credit: theatregirl7299
Summary: Set very early in the Wonder(ful) Years 'verse, when Peter and Neal are freshmen at Harvard (circa 1984). Neal feels like he's been waiting for half his life to have sex with Peter, if just because Peter won't go all the way with him until he's actually seventeen.

Author’s Note: A long over-due continuation of Love is a Danger (of a different kind), and like that story, this is written for my very dearest friend, kanarek13, on the occasion of her birthday.

Summary: Set in The Wonder(ful) Years A/U in the very late 1990s, Peter and Neal are facing a work-imposed separation. Neither man is happy about it. But there's such things as air mail and email and even international cell phone service, so just because they're apart doesn't mean that they can't stay in touch.

Author’s Note: Written for the sixth day/night of Fic-Can-Ukah, for tjs_whatnot who picked "I am writing you from a far-off country" – Neal/anyone, or gen.

Many thanks to theatregirl7299 who gave me the suggestion for this story.

Also, this isn't late. The sixth night of Chanukah doesn't end until sundown, and I've got plenty of time.
