*cough*

So I've kind of been edging away from HP fandom for a couple of months, and while I'm sure it's temporary, something had to come in and fill the vacuum.  And this was the result.  And I hate doing the first fic post in a new fandom, so ... yeah. 

I might do a commentary for this, because I had lots of thoughts when I was writing.  But we'll see.


Title: Escape Routes
Author: LizBee
Summary: AU from The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Donleavy carries out her original plan of kidnapping Russell.
Warnings: Fade-to-black femmeslash, character death, a tentacle metaphor.
Fandom: Mary Russell (Sherlock Holmes)
Spoilers: The Beekeeper's Apprentice
Disclaimer: Russell and Donleavy are the property of Laurie R. King. Holmes is public domain, although it's probably only fair to name-check Arthur Conan Doyle. Notes: With thanks to cesario, prof_pangaea and melwil for their most excellent beta work. Extra thanks for Branwyn, who put the idea in my head, and then made encouraging noises until I actually finished it. Blame her.
