“I do know Lady Salisbury. She’s probably my grandmother age, but she hangs out with my mother’s set. She tells bawdy jokes and always encourages everyone to eat more cake.”

Lemon Blueberry Shortbread
A Lady Ruth Charity Zine fic, featuring art from @letraspal
Summary:
Two afternoons of learning to cook a family recipe, thirty years apart.
Part 1: Cooking with Lucy
Tumblr media
Ruth
“No, darling, don’t cut the blueberries!”
Lucy drops the slim knife and pulls her hands back in startlement. At eight years old, I’ve only just started letting her cut things, and then only soft fruits with my dullest knife.
“Why not, mummy?” she asks. “We cut the blueberries last week!”
I sigh and smile. This is part of it. This passing on of hard won knowledge. That the methods that suit one occasion aren’t meant to be applied to another. This is the reason that I was so thrilled when Lucy decided she wanted to learn to cook. Thrilled and relieved.
It’s been far more difficult, being a mother, than I ever envisioned when Andrew and I set out on this journey together. I’d thought that my girl would be much like I was; fond of home comforts and domestic pursuits. I thought I’d wile away many a happy hours sewing or cleaning or crafting with my daughter.
Well, best laid plans and all that.

For Baby
(a Simon Snow ficlet I had to get out of my system)
Tags: Ruth Salisbury, Lucy Salisbury, Simon Snow, song fic, a mother’s love
Song is For Baby (For Bobbie) by Peter, Paul, and Mary
~ ~ ~
I'll walk in the rain by your side
Ruth smiled down at the little bundle she had just finished dressing for bed.
I'll cling to the warmth of your hand
“There you are, little Lucy. All cozy?”
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied
The baby didn’t respond, too busy staring in wonder at the mobile above her.
And I'll love you more than anybody can
Ruth couldn’t help but lift Lucy into her arms. She rocked her along to the music coming from the radio and hummed along. Lucy grabbed at her fingers.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
“I love you so much, my darling,” she whispered into the soft locks on Lucy’s forehead.
Little birds will sing along in time
Lucy squirmed in her arms and started to cry. Ruth adjusted her grip and gently brushed away her tears.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
“Hush, Lucy Lou. You’re alright.” She brought Lucy to her chest and continued to rock and sing to her until Lucy fell asleep in her mother’s arms.
And morning bells will chime
-
I'll be there when you're feeling down
Lucy smiled as she recognized the lullaby her mum used to sing her when she was little playing on the radio.
To kiss away the tears if you cry
She placed a hand on her belly and couldn’t help but feel a swell of joy as she felt a little kick.
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found
“What’re you getting up to in there, Simon?” she giggled out.
A reflection of the love in your eyes
She felt a sudden wave of melancholy come over her. This wasn’t her first Christmas away from her family, but it was harder than before.
And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow
Lucy bit her lip as she contemplated the phone. She could call her mum. She could tell her about Simon.
A whisper of the joy that is mine
She’d be delighted, Lucy knew. She’d be an amazing grandmum, too. And Jaimie would be the best uncle.
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
She sighed when she felt another kick from her stomach. “Maybe we can call her after Christmas, hm? How does that sound, my little rosebud boy?”
And morning bells will chime
-
I'll walk in the rain by your side
Simon sat on the couch next to his nan, half dozing to the sound of the radio and the rain outside. He felt her pause in her knitting from where his head rested on her shoulder and cracked an eye open.
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
She put her needles down and wiped at her eyes. Simon frowned in worry. “Nan?”
I'll do anything to help you understand
“Oh, don’t mind me, Simon. It’s just… I used to sing this song to my Lucy when she was little.”
And I'll love you more than anybody can
Simon didn’t really know how to react. He never really did when it came to his mum.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
“She loved you so much, you know? She couldn’t have done anything but love you. It’s just how us mothers work.”
Little birds will sing along in time
She smiled at him and placed a kiss on his curls. “Grandmothers, too. I love you more than anything, and don’t you dare forget that,” she told him seriously.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
Simon felt a warmth in his heart that was becoming so familiar these days. “Yeah. I love you too, Nan.”
And morning bells will chime

The Veil was rough and made me cry. I also need to work on writing shorter entries for COC if I'm going to catch up with how behind I am. Oh well. 
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Carry On Series - Rainbow Rowell Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Tyrannus Basilton "Baz" Pitch/Simon Snow, Tyrannus Basilton "Baz" Pitch & Simon Snow, Daphne Grimm/Malcolm Grimm, Malcolm Grimm/Natasha Grimm-Pitch, Nicodemus Petty/Fiona Pitch Characters: Simon Snow, Tyrannus Basilton "Baz" Pitch, Malcolm Grimm, Daphne Grimm (Simon Snow), Natasha Grimm-Pitch, Fiona Pitch, Ebeneza "Ebb" Petty, Nicodemus Petty, Jamie Salisbury, Ruth Salisbury, Lucy Salisbury Additional Tags: COC 2022, Carry On Countdown (Simon Snow), Day 7, VEIL, visitings, Canon Compliant, Post-Canon, Reunions Summary:
No one in the room dares to break the moment, I’m not even sure if anyone is breathing right now.
The form continues to manifest in front of us. The arm now leads across a collar bone and a chest and down another arm where –
Ruth gasps.
A second form starts to manifest off of the first.
They’re holding hands.
There’s a whistle, a murmur, so quiet that I suspect I’m the only one that can hear it. “Come along now” I think it says, and my vision is instantly blurred with tears. Because I know that voice.

Fallen from the Sky with Grace
(Post Canon, E, 80K, Updated weekly.)
I hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Chapter 20 - Bugs in the Diagnostic is now posted.
Something's wrong, even the diagnostic is unreliable. Could this be the final push to disrupt power from the World of Mages?
In this chapter, Simon's not special anymore. Everyone is sick. And a return of my favourite chaos demon, Fiona Pitch.
Summary:
Simon's always had a price on his head. Yet, what if Simon were truly incapacitated? Who might step into the power vacuum?

my favourite part of awtwb is when baz is dishing to lady salisbury about all the absurd claims smith smith-richards has made about himself, and he can't even contain himself he's so excited to bitch and gossip about this hack who's trying to show up his boyfriend like yes, simon, even if you weren't an orphan the mage still would have told everyone you were because it's too perfect and oh lady ruth, smith-richards also claims he was born under an eclipse. and then when (queen) lady ruth is like, "was he trying to convert you or get in your trousers?" baz just goes, "i mean" and happily eats half a finger sandwich
