Edwardian Stories

Titanic officer, James Moody, wakes up lost and adrift at sea with vague memories of his past. And when the shopgirl at the counter insists that "White Star Line Shipping Company" isn't actually headquarters but a gift shop, James realizes he's not in 1912 anymore. How can he even begin to explain that he belongs to a world decades apart from her own? Titanic Retail Cashier, Emily Amberflaw, believes it's just an ordinary day on the job, until a strange customer approaches the register in cosplay and tries to convince her he's the "real James Moody". As his world collides unimaginably into hers, she realizes that what she always believed about hers wasn't the truth. Torn between two versions of her life, she is faced with a heart-wrenching decision. Choose the man she loves this time, or forever lose him to the currents of history? "And so, she asked me, in that strange dreamworld a century after mine, had I known the fate of her maiden voyage and my death to come, would I never have set foot on Titanic? The answer I gave her is that I'd do it all too much the same. I wouldn't change even a footstep, if it showed me away from hers." (Downton Abbey/Titanic Crossover)

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...

Originally written: December 2020. Part Four of the time-traveling saga of Orraca and Beatriz-- but really, this is more about Ida, Beatriz's descendant. So we won't see much growth from Orraca or Beatriz. Nevertheless, I wanted to post this story...as it takes the tale into a new and unexpected direction. I wrote this when I was into reading about history, but not reading or watching historical fiction-- aside from Call the Midwife, which inspired me to add (somewhat) of a baby storyline.

A though I had while listening to you don't know how lucky you are by Keaton Henson.
