Summary
"Audrey used to like numbers. And she used to hate being invisible.
And as the days and weeks go by, it becomes clear that this is just the beginning. It’s her job to work with Gringotts, to watch the exchange rates and the major fund transfers. She hopes watching the numbers at Gringotts will distract from the nightmare in the Ministry.
But instead she sees new numbers, numbers she never hoped to see.
Numbers of gleaming-eyed brutes in the corridors, strutting because they owned the place. Numbers of people brought before the Muggleborn Registration Commission, only to disappear later. Numbers of Muggleborn accounts being drained into those bearing the names of Yaxley, Lestrange, Rookwood, Umbridge, Dolohov, Carrow, Selwyn, Goyle, and more.
Audrey used to like numbers. And now she’s glad she’s invisible."
After the murder of Minister Rufus Scrimgeour, the Ministry of Magic becomes a sinister place. Office worker Audrey Edgecombe does what she can to carry on and chip away at the evil, but can only watch as things get worse and worse. Purpose loses its shine and magic its luster, but she keeps chipping anyway. And perhaps, just maybe, it's not just her doing the chipping.

Summary
A collection for posting whatever random drawings and art I've made for my series 'The Interplay of Politics.' Am I also working on writing the rest of the series? Yes, of course. But I also get sidetracked.
1/31/25 For those following this series, keep an eye out! Good news: I'm over 34,000 words deep into the next installment 'Fortune Passes Everywhere'. Bad news: it's not done yet and may be a bit. If trends continue I'm going to guess this will be about as long or longer than 'Attitude of the Knife'. But Shai-Halud willing I will have enough discipline to actually FINISH it before posting. You know, so there can be a regular posting schedule instead of a frantic cycle of 'aaaaahhhh' and 'did the writer collapse of a coronary somewhere?' Anyway, in the meantime have a thing and keep on folding space like the freaky Guild Navigators we are.

Summary
"Heavenly Father, it’s me. Étienne. If I were to ask for one thing, it would be to please make Gaston less of an imbecile.
I know what you’re thinking, Lord. Gaston son of Athos is not a bad sort. And I agree, he is brave and true and all that, and Lord he actually has been doing well with 'responsibility'. He deserved to be promoted today, and for us to celebrate him! But he’s been quite annoying of late. He’s been mooning over Valentine ever since she was definitely going to kill him in that duel. It’s been quite obvious to anyone with eyes and a working brain that he’s been smitten all through the debacle with Villeroi and Lady Bolton and really it’s only gotten worse—"Or, I write an epilogue for La Femme Musketeer from the point of view of Étienne son of Aramis.

Summary
As House Atreides readies to take possession of Arrakis, intrigues on Kaitain continue to draw in the Mentat Sonya Jacamar and Lord Raúl Delambre. Skirmishes over Harkonnen-Rejani smuggling operations lead Jacamar into a treacherous game with an old enemy. Meanwhile, courtship politics invites some unexpected threats to Delambre and his family. As tensions rise in the streets of Corinth City and a shadow looms over Arrakis, fate balances on a knife’s edge. The Known Universe will never be the same.
(Author notes: First two chapters are finished but it will be awhile before the rest is done. Hopefully will be done before the Dune 2 release in March 2024.
Edit 3/27/24 Ha past me you're adorable. Current me says that I'm trying for one chapter a week but if I get hung up on a chapter it might be longer. But I will finish this, never fear.
Completed 7/5/24)
