Hey, If You Remember Me Ranting About A Genderfluid Character In One Of Real Margarets Books In The 1600s,

Hey, if you remember me ranting about a genderfluid character in one of real Margaret’s books in the 1600s, and how I was going to write a whole fic explaining what happened in the original story and my take on how it should have ended, that fic is here. For @pulpmusicalsfortnight2024 day 3 (Myth), I present to you: The Tale of Travellia. Essentially it's set in the future and Margaret is telling this story to Samuel, like the grandpa in Princess Bride. Be sure to heed the content warnings in the tags, and I hope you will enjoy.

Samuel Stratford lays in bed, a wet washcloth over his eyes. His glasses lay on the bedside table.

His wife Margaret sits in a chair beside him, holding his left hand in both of hers. She gazes at him with all the adoration she once held for the moon and absentmindedly runs her fingers over the smooth patches of skin between his fingers

“Tell me the story, Margaret,” he asks, “the one you’re working on.”

“Samuel,” she sighs. “It’s not-”

“Please,” he implores, and in his voice, she can feel those big dark eyes staring up at her, squeezing her heart. “Won’t you take pity on a sick man?”

“It’s not a very happy story,” she admits. “It won’t make you feel better.”

“I still want to hear it.”

And because it’s Samuel, because she would tear apart the world if it meant making him smile, because she’s already born her soul to him a thousand times over, she opens her notebook and starts to tell him the story she‘s writing, her notebook in one hand, his in the other.

A friend dragged us into Pulp Musicals hell and I might or might not have listened to it all like perhaps 5 times today 😳😁 anyway here's a lil Samuel and Mags from the scene of "On The Roof" !!

I am obsessed with these guys fuuhfhhfgg

Go watch it, it’s free, they worked so hard on this spoopy series

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.
