I started a new story called "Late Nights and a Lack of Coffee," and it's Lix and Randall-centric. We all need some more of The Hour in our lives. I have to say, @strangeseawolf convinced me to continue with this one and to finally jot my ideas down. Thank you, love. 🤍

So far, there are only two chapters published.

Lix and Randall finally have a conversation that's been coming since he returned to London and joined The Hour. The time has come. They both have things to get off their chests. Let's add in a bit of banter and humor while we're at it as well.

"The Razor and the Balm" is finally done! I'm feeling proud. 🤍

Let's go back a bit. This was an idea that hit me one evening and it just needed to be written. It would have been far too long to post as a standalone, so I decided to break it up into chapters, as you guys know. My girlfriend, @aperfectsong, helped me with the rest. You can all thank her for a few of the plot ideas in the very beginning. Somehow, 18 chapters happened, and I love the way it came out.

Anyway, this story is finished now! Enjoy your reading.

Expect deep dives into how the BBC and television news programs ran during the late 1950s, period-typical bigotry and sexism, and a good helping of emotional angst. Slow romance is the best kind.

Who else would come to Lix's aid but Randall and Bel? It's just the way things are.
