Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

"And it actually does remind me…do you suppose, Paul, that there's any chance of Juliette's company having perhaps a modest UK tour this year –or next, when things are a bit safer?"

"I suppose I could bring it up to the other share'olders."

"…You didn't."

"Only fifty-eight percent, Jamesine." Paul looked sheepish.

"How did you explain buying a cabaret to your mother?"

"I didn't. It was after I bought my shop…and obtained a modest equity line of credit at Lafitte's."

"You didn't!"

"I paid it off in two months! The cabaret was being run into the ground by its' management, but with my former governess in charge of the house, it became rather more profitable."

"You put Ingrid in charge of the house?"

"Naturelment."

"…I stand corrected forever on investment strategy. Clearly, simple property acquisition is nothing compared to setting a great Brunhilde queen Viking of an ex-governess on presumably innocent bartenders and chorus girls. You do know those Muggle comic books weren't meant to be educational in that way?"

"That is where I got the idea, yes. Running my nursery and then that of my petite cousins, well, considering the behavior of drunks as compared to enfants, I assumed Ingrid would simply take care of it."

"This is what happens when I send over 'Asterix,' I'm never going to trust you with'Batman.'"

"I love Batman! Juliette showed me the film version."

"An act for which she will assuredly answer someday at The Hague."
