cruisedirectorhide bio
 Author has written 22 stories for King's Speech, George Smiley series, Les Miserables, and Les Misérables. Most of my stories are not here, but at Archive Of Our Own as well as LiveJournal (same username) and a few fandom-related sites. Fanfiction.net has a habit of changing its terms arbitrarily and without warning, deleting stories that a week earlier were both suitable and popular, which happened to me one too many times. In addition to AO3 and LJ, you can find me on tumblr, InsaneJournal, Dreamwidth, Facebook, DeviantArt, Pinterest, and many other sites as cruisedirector. I love character-driven fiction. I love both slash and het romance when they make sense for the characters. I love feedback. I have written primarily in the universes of Harry Potter, Les Miserables, The King's Speech, Marvel-Avengers-MCU, Master and Commander, Smallville, and The Lord of the Rings, plus nearly a hundred Voyager stories and a few Deep Space Nine character pieces. My collaborators have included Becca O, Dementor Delta, Celandine, LdyBastet, Ashinae, Schemingreader, Shayenne, and CyberMum. |

The Kissing Lesson
Proper use of the mouth is crucial for clear speech...and clear feelings. (Kitty Kelley claims the Queen Mum hated sex, and though I don't believe Kelley really knew anything about Elizabeth, I adapted that claim in this story. There's also m/m intimacy, a loose aristocratic definition of marital fidelity, and sexual content in this story, if that is going to offend you.)
