The Manuscript - Blog Posts

“She thought about how, he said since she was so wise beyond her years. Everything had been above board, she wasn't sure.”.

But it’s Lily Potter(Evans) if she survived Halloween 1978, but James Potter didn’t.

and at last… she knew what the agony had been for.

the only thing that’s left is the manuscript, the only souvenir left from my trip to your shores…

-the manuscript, taylor swift.

uni work is getting too hectic so I am reading the manuscript by @pendale for the sixth time because I need some theloise sweetness (ft. taylor swift references) to get me through this

In case anyone cares, I recently (minorly) rewrote The Manuscript! No drastic changes were made (the changes are mostly related to dialogue), and most people probably won't even notice a difference lol. I thought I would still list the most changed scenes, in case anyone is curious.

Chapter 1: Library (second vignette).

Chapter 2: Drunk call (first vignette).

Chapter 3: Morning after (seventh vignette).

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I'm going to share some Modern AU headcanons about Theloise because I thought about this a lot while writing The Manuscript:

Not only are they both coffee addicts, they both have the same order! Here's a snippet from an old WIP of mine where they reunite after a decade:

Theo passed Eloise her coffee—one cream, one sugar, same as always—before sitting down with his own coffee—also one cream, one sugar, same as always.

2. I can see Theo working at a publishing company (sort of the modern-day version of a print shop), working as a political journalist, or working as a lawyer! Similarly, I can see Eloise as a lawyer or in academia. I can also see them getting involved with organizations like the UN, or some non-profit organizations.

Regardless of their occupation, political activism is very important to them!

3. I like to think Eloise and Theo would enjoy reading from more modern-day female authors like Sally Rooney, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, etc.

4. Eloise's favourite Jane Austen novel is Emma, while Theo's is Persuasion. I actually have an old WIP where Penelope and Colin spy on Eloise and Theo and overhear them arguing over the best Austen novel (their arguments are very surface level though because I'm not very well-versed in Austen lol).

5. I can see Theo being friends with people like Benedict, Colin, and Footman John! Maybe Kate, as well?

6. Eloise has a fear of spiders. No, I'm totally not projecting (🤡).

(But Theo kills them for her so it's all good.)

Also I just noticed the question only asks for one headcanon...oh, well. Thanks for the ask! <3

Me deciding to completely rewrite a chapter approximately 5 hours after publishing it.

A law of fanfiction: Thou shalt not find an error in your carefully edited, thrice read through, chapter until it is live and published.

And that's a wrap!
