    AN: The year is late 1790, Adrien is 14. Chapter 4: The Citizen Saint-Just The day had started out just like any other, with Adrien showing up bright and early at the Jacobin Club, holding a handful of conversations, and ultimately finding himself tucked away in his corner, Camille...

    AN: There are lots of time jumps in this story, so I'll put Adrien's age and the date in each chapter. This chapter takes place in early 1790, Adrien is 13. Chapter 3: The Future Mrs. Montfaucon Before we continue any further, we must look backwards on Adrien’s interpersonal relationships...

    Chapter 2: In Which A Series of Fortunate Meetings Occur By the third time Adrien had mysteriously found himself tucked away in a corner, observing history in the making, the questions regarding why a child was present had significantly diminished. Frankly, short of someone picking him up...

    Chapter 1: In Which the Stage is Set Adrien-Henri de Montfaucon was twelve years old when the destruction of the French Monarchy piqued his interest, although the monarchy itself likely would have been surprised to learn of any threat from a boy not yet old enough to imbibe in the benefits...

    Chapter 13: The End of One Story, and the Start of a New One The ending of the previous chapter, unsurprisingly, marked the end of one era of Adrien’s life, and the beginning of another. For one, he did not pack his bags and hightail it for America. Or any other continent. Second, at least...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 12 - A Truth Unveiled

    Chapter 12: A Truth Unveiled The following days were a haze of aggressive painting and Adrien decidedly not avoiding society as a whole. Certainly not. He had simply… come down with something, and it would be incredibly impolite to go out and about while that remained an issue. His social...

    Chapter 11: In Which the Vicomte Turns Forty, Celebrates, and Takes The Writing Equivalent of Canister Shot Directly Into the Walls That Hold Back the Past July 28th was a day that Adrien had mixed feelings on. The day of his birth, a happy occasion (depending on who was asked), for...

    Chapter 10: In Which The Living Can Begin Adrien found himself that night seated in front of his writing desk. Quill in hand, fresh sheet of paper dated, pot set next to his hand, hand hovering over the paper, thoughts racing. Dear Amelie, No doubt were you here, you would be quite...

    Chapter 9: The Shovel-Talk, In Which A Viscount and A Vicomte Realize Intimidation is Pointless Frankly, after the near-confession of the last chapter, Adrien truly should have suspected that there would be consequences. One doesn't reveal personal relations, of any sort, with the heralded...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 8 - Of Pasts Revealed, Sort Of

    Chapter 8: Of Pasts Revealed, Sort Of The next day, upon meeting Benedict on Bridgerton Grounds, there was certainly a different feel in the air, though what in particular Adrien could not name. Perhaps it was simply the warmer weather of summer, perhaps the mild humidity left behind by an...

    Chapter 7: In Which the Vicomte Writes to the Dead and Paints the Living, All While Failing to Solve the Problem at Hand Adrien, quite frankly, does not remember much in the in-between of dancing with Benedict, leaving, and returning to his studio. When memory does start up again, he has...

    Chapter 5: In The Garden Adrien hunched slightly, laser-focused on the scene in front of him. The grounds were, in fact, far better than his previous subjects. He would not admit this aloud. He also, initially, did not intend to admit that he was unsurprised to find the grounds more fruitful to...

    Chapter 4: In Which a Question Is Asked, An Answer is Given, and the Vicomte Realizes He May Have Revealed Too Much The immediate aftermath of Adrien’s statement was silent. Benedict didn’t seem bothered by his abruptness in shutting down that particular line of questioning. Benedict...
