Finished Stories:

Back to the Beginning: It began at the Bodelian, when she opened the book, Ashmole 782. Her parents knew it was meant to be her. What if she had known it too?

Bound: They were bound to one another. That was all there was to it. When Matthew realises as much during the rainy night at Sept Tours, making him rethink his departure to Oxford.

Branded: Diana teaches a Matthew a new perspective into the marks Satu gave her.

Escaping Death: In the twenty-first century two people were killed by a witch. In Elizabethan England, Matthew and Diana find a timewalker or two.

Faith: Matthew realises who is responsible for the rain coming down on Sept Tours. He turns round to apologise to Diana before he leaves for Oxford.

Fear or Flight: Set after the flying lessons night. A slightly longer conversation between Matthew and Diana about his previous loves leads to further intimacy, confessions and understanding.

Granting a Crawl into a Past so Tall: Matthew asks Diana if she would like to go timewalking again, as her father did with her mother for special occasions. One of her suggestions leads to her learning about a period of his life which he has never told anyone. The one time he was forced to give up his first name, when he became the second husband of Lady Mary Crawley.

Hunts And Crimes: While recovering from her injuries, Gillian Chamberlain takes time to pause and reflect on her actions. She comes to ponder the possibility of helping her former friend in some way. Crossover with Sherlock.

Return to her Rooms: Matthew leaves Diana's rooms following her attempt to kiss him, he pauses at the bottom of the stairs and reconsiders his retreat.

Satation and Satu: What could have happened if Diana had stayed in bed with Matthew the morning after the French Bundling, rather than going for a run.

The Battle to Belong: An insight into Matthew's thoughts while he watches Diana reading at his desk in his house in Oxfordshire.

The Jackdaw Folly Series: Diana accidentally time walks into a moment in Matthew's past, when he was married to a Lady who is the daughter of the Earl of Grantham. A story relayed in three perspectives. Crossover with Downton Abbey.

Works in Progress:

Untitled: Just an idea which while re-watching the first episode. Diana and Matthew meeting without the book, which is either discovered much later or not at all. 

A Star Wars crossover: first chapter written, second in progress. No Vampire or Witch element, but the main plot around Ashmole 782 transported into a star wars universe. 

A Once Upon a Time Crossover: An idea still in development. Henry is a child prodigy at Oxford, Emma is there with him when she discovers the storybook. Killian, a professor and biochemist has been searching for the storybook for several years and learns of her discovery.

 Escaping Death Spinoff: A continuation of that oneshot, an AU of a scene in Shadow of the Night. 

A Downton Abbey Crossover/Spinoff: This is a continuation of my ideas from the previous Downton Abbey crossovers I have written, exploring Matthew’s life as Henry Talbot in full. 

Untitled: Diana has a horse ranch somewhere in America. Matthew comes to work there with, looking after the horses when his research lab at Oxford gets closed by the Congregation. 

Untitled: Diana has a cafe in Oxford, near the university, in which she sells blood among the usual coffee, tea, latte, etc and food. Matthew, Miriam and Marcus meet there, whereupon he meets Diana. 

Untitled: Diana has been hired to work as a librarian and archivist at Sept Tours when it opens to public tours after the news of the existence of creatures goes public and the covenant is undone 

Unititled: (This was influenced by Matthew Goode playing Wickham in Death Comes to Pemberley.) When Darcy returns to Pemberley, he reevaluates his relationship with Elizabeth, Georgiana and Wickham, who rescues Lydia Bennet in Brighton, which leads to her traumatic demise, resulting in Wickham’s service in the Peninsular War, and eventual redemption. I’m going to try and write it so it fits with Adow maybe. 

Untitled: Diana and Matthew timewalk to where they were supposed to, instead of 60 miles off course. Will their time in Elizabethan England go more smoothly? Possibly, depends on my muse. Might incorporate the continuation of Escaping Death into it. 

Untitled: Many years in the future, Matthew has assumed a new identity, as a woodwork teacher at a private independent school. Diana has passed, their children are all grown up. One day a woman with a young son walks into his classroom, a woman who looks very familiar… 

Untitled: Juliet does not go to Madison after breaking free from Gerbert.

Untitled: Philippe survives, Matthew cannot bear to kill him. Though his mind is injured deeply, when Diana comes to France with Matthew she manages to heal him.

Untitled: The book is not at the Bodleian, or Stephen retrieves it after Diana sees him and hides it at the Madison house. Diana shows it Matthew after they marry.

Untitled: I want to write a P&P crossover with Adow. The Bishops are the Bennet’s, the Clairmonts the Darcy/Fitzwilliam family, obviously. Ashmole 782 is in the Pemberley, Netherfield or Longbourn library. I don’t have the rest of it yet.
