Journalism AU for Phrack? 👀😍
This is such a fun one for me, you've no idea. I'd do this as a modern AU - of course there were female journalists in the 1920s but, as one can see from Away With The Fairies, also insane amounts of industry sexism. So! Modern AU where everyone is in journalism. Phryne is the star investigative reporter, rakes in scoops like nobody's business, has caused the paper to be sued multiple times but they deal with it because she's just that good. Jack is a copy-editor. He and Phryne clash repeatedly and furiously because of the incredibly pedantic way in which he edits her work - while she's a fantastic investigator she can be slapdash at fact-checking and has a high error count - so they're forever in each other's faces over what he's done to her latest story - "did you have to remove all the Oxford commas, Jack?" "I'm afraid the stylebook insists" "but what about the strippers, Hitler and Stalin? WHAT ABOUT THE STRIPPERS" "if you would please stop yelling about strippers in public, Miss Fisher" "STRIPPERS! STRIPPERS!" - while the rest of the newsroom are watching and eating popcorn and money is changing hands. Dot and Hugh are baby crimers who are going through important life rituals like seeing your first corpse and covering your first fire together. Bert and Cec are photographers. Mr Butler lays pages. Aunt Prudence is managing editor. Mac is still the coroner; she shouldn't let Phryne take so many peeks at dead bodies, but what are friends for? Jack gets unwillingly dragged into Phryne's latest exclusive on sex trafficking because his former father-in-law is involved, so she presses him to help her out despite the massive conflict of interest. Rosie works in PR - at one point she sends Phryne a correction request and Phryne is LIVID - and Sidney Fletcher is a big-bucks advertiser who tries to kill the story on him by threatening to pull his ad dollars. The truth shall make ye free/fret, except Phryne does all the freeing and Jack does all the fretting.
Leave an AU and a pairing in my ask and I’ll give you the plot of the fic I won’t write for it.

Hi! I love reading your theories and I’ve been working on a super in-depth theory for Kuroshitsuji based on certain ideas from logic/psychology developed in the manga starting from the first story arc (Jack the Ripper). So it was exciting to see that you doing something similar on the TWST side of things too with those math ideas from its inspiration works!
If you’re interested, I’d be happy to discuss further about the parallels between the theories and Kuroshitsuji/TWST as a whole. Also if you haven’t already, I would highly recommend reading Rust Blaster (Yana’s one volume manga before Kuroshitsuji) since it has major parallels to TWST that might overlap with some of your points too!
Hello @cielsama14 ! Sorry for the very late reply, I have been very busy for the past weeks and now finally I have time to reply to your message in my ask box 😭😭
I'm glad you enjoy my theories! It makes me really happy when I know someone enjoys my hard work on researching through some older documents. It makes all worth it💖
I used to read kuroshitsuji 10 years ago but now I never check it out again so except for a new anime where Ciel disguised as a student and Sebastian as Professor I don't really know the latest update. Last time I checked was that one chapter where Ciel was investigating the places that had blood supplies for his twin brother and that's that...
I will admit I'm not all that knowledgeable, but as Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland revolved around the Victorian era, I might be able to provide one or two fun facts about Victorian era since I did my own research on it for twst since two years ago
And thank you for your recommendation! I would gladly check Rust Blaster when I had time. I might find something interesting, who knows? 👀✨
And lastly, I love people who have a lot of dedication that they dare enough to do research from its deepest roots, so keep doing what you are doing! You are doing great! 👍✨
