Ladies and gentlemen, Peasant is proud to present (at long last) a
new story:

Green Fairy

To be found at http://www.ficbitch.com/peasants_plot/GoodFairy.html

Victorian stories have something of an obsession with people drinking
absinthe. Ah, absinthe! La Fee Verte - the green fairy, the
opalescent liquor, the verdant demon, a swirling fog of mesmeric
imagery leading us into a whirlpool of decadence. Except that in
England the average man was far more likely to feel the wrath of the
temperance movement, or Blue Ribboners as they were derisively known,
just for taking a few glasses of beer, than to ever come across
absinthe. But who am I to buck a trend?

Summary: As everyone learns at Nanny's knee: you should never, ever
mix your drinks.

Spoilers: Crush.
Canon: any.

And for those who insist on knowing - the warnings (which I would
rather you didn't read but if you must you must):
--------------
Will/Drusilla implied; implied violence, including some against
children; strong language; the imbibing of intoxicating liquor. And
cake.

With many thanks to Wiseacress for whomping it with a carpet-beater
until the fluff flew off. She can of course not be held responsible
for all the fluff I have put back in since she last saw it.

Please note that this is not the long thing I have been promising for
ages, that's... coming. Sometime.
