So. Those are variations of the same love story featuring Frances and Tristan is many, many, many different settings. Since it is taking more importance than I previously thought it would, I'll update this first chapter with the summaries of the stories I wrote about my two favourite people. You're allowed to get bored, the ending is nearly always the same 😊
Well. I have read two pieces, in two different fandoms, that have inspired this bout. Basically, the 'bizarre holidays' series in the stargate fandom, and 'In every breath, life or universe' in Ruroni Kenshin are a series of one shots, or two shots that tell the story of two people destined to be together. Or to meet. So I heartily thank their authors for the inspiration.
I thought I would apply this principle to Frances and Tristan. Each showing a moment of one Frances and one Tristan's life. Modern world, medieval, King Arthur or something entirely different. Roles and occupation will change, timeline as well. This is purely variations on the same theme.
It's time for you to tell me which kind of encounter, or piece of life you want to read about. Death, life, children, modern world, WWII, anything is possible really. I have so far 12 ideas listed. Give me more!
