why didn't that idiot just fucking kiss me in Rome? I think I'm going fucking crazy

Whiskey in the Jar au, Pt 1

Whiskey in the Jar AU, Pt 1 l Pt 2 l Pt 3

So a few weeks ago, I sent an ask to @laurent-ofvere about how the highwayman in the Irish folk song “Whiskey in the Jar” always reminds me of Damen, for some reason, but I couldn’t think who Laurent was - then about two days later I had an epiphany that the Laurent character is obviously Captain Farrell and suddenly I had a story?  But I only know enough about late eighteenth/early nineteenth century Ireland and/or highwaymen to imagine that there might be a story, not to actually write it, so I’m putting it up in bullet-form

(If I were writing the whole au out I’d probably find a similar-sounding Irish name for everyone and make, like, a character and places equivalency list? but since this is a summary let’s just pretend)

The backstory:

It’s somewhere in the late 17/early 1800s

Damen is a descendant (on his father’s side) of an originally powerful Irish family whose lands were seized and given to English Protestant colonists

Except for this one spot, the fields of Delpha, which was actually sold to their neighbors, the DeVere clan, who collaborated with the English and converted to Protestantism in order to keep their own land.  

Theomedes has raised his sons to understand that they are supposed to be lords and to resent the small farm they have been forced on to, and to really, really hate both the English and those turn-coat DeVeres.  (I’m thinking Damen’s mother was of Mediterranean descent.  Dublin is a port city and has always been at least a little diverse.)

With discriminatory laws against Catholics limiting what kinds of professions they can take, Kastor joins the army.  But Damen, balking at serving the English crown, instead takes to the roving life and becomes a highwayman.  (In his mind, basically everyone rich in Ireland at this point is either a colonist or a collaborator and every hold-up he makes is stealing back what was taken.)

Which brings us to:

Whiskey in the Jar:

Damen is traveling over the Kerry mountains when he encounters young military Captain Laurent DeVere, alone on the pass and actually counting out his money!  Thinking this is almost too good to be true, Damen produces both a pistol and a sword.  “Stand and deliver!” he says, cheerfully, thanking the luck of the Irish for this chance and grinning, roguishly, in that way that shows off his dimple.

Laurent responds with a masterful stroke of verbal manipulation that totally would have worked, except in this au, Damen had nothing to do with the death of Auguste and Laurent therefore doesn’t recognize him.  (The Akielons aren’t even on his radar, he has far more important things to worry about.)

And the ploy he chooses doesn’t work against someone with a vendetta against him specifically, so Damen takes his money anyway and leaves

Which is a problem because he needed that money as a bribe to curtail one of his uncle’s schemes; his uncle can’t know he ever had it, that’s why he hid himself out in the mountains to gather it all together in the first place

He sold Auguste’s horse for some of that money!

Laurent uses his connections with the local government to make sure that the reward offered for Damen’s capture is not only monetary, but includes an official pardon for any crimes that might have been committed by the informant, figuring that will bring someone out of the woodwork.

Meanwhile, Damen has brought his windfall home to his sweetheart Jokaste, whom he’s been living with for a couple of years.  She seems really happy to receive the money and celebrates with him into the night.  But Laurent moves quickly and news of his offer has already spread to the town.  Jokaste has something of a rap sheet herself (pickpocketing, fraud, prostitution, to say nothing of harboring a notorious highwayman) so as Damen lies sleeping and dreaming happily of what the two of them are going to do with the money, Jokate slips out of their shared bed and rats him out.

(But she also, like, doesn’t want him to die?  Which is what will definitely happen if there’s a firefight.  So before she does that, she hides his sword and soaks his pistol in water so the charges won’t light, figuring if he can’t fight back, Laurent and his men will have to take him alive.)

Early the next morning, before the sun is completely up, in a scene that is reminiscent both of Damen’s original capture in the prologue to book one and of the earlier scene where he held Laurent up in the mountain, Damen wakes to find a band of redcoats swarming into his room, followed by Captain Laurent.  “Stand and deliver,” Laurent repeats, also grinning, smug and satisfied.

Damen leaps from the bed and reaches for his sword, but it’s gone.  He goes for his pistol, but it’s waterlogged.  And the regulars clap him in irons and drag him from the house.  “Sorry, love,” Jokaste says, as they drag him past her, glaring, “It’s nothing personal, but this is my only chance at a straight life, and I’m taking it.”

Laurent still can’t let his uncle know that he ever had the money, or that it was stolen from him, or that he’s now recovered it, so he again uses his connections to have Damen thrown in jail not only without trial but without any record being made of his arrest.  The plan is for Damen to rot in a cell for the rest of his life, but Damen’s still stronger than an ox and more observant than he’s usually given credit for, so after a few days to get to know the jail and its routines, he finds an opportune moment to knock the jailer down and slip away without any trouble.  But he can’t take back to the highwayman’s life as he still doesn’t have his weapons, so, celebrating his freedom both from prison and his promises to Jokaste, he decides to have a little fun before he decides what to do next.

Meanwhile Laurent’s plans are not going well.  The delay that losing and having to retrieve his bribery money caused him has thrown a wrench into everything and made it harder than it had to be.  He’s fairly certain he’s going to lose now and he blames Damen, so when he hears of his escape, he decides that if he can’t get away with his life, he’s going to at least exact revenge before his uncle manages to kill him, so he mounts a huge search effort to find the highwayman Damianos and bring him to justice.

Cue comedy montage of Laurent and his men bursting into one bedchamber after another where Damen has spent the night, arriving too late to catch him, but finding his sated and blissful bed partners still lying in recovery.  These include:

Lykaios, who’s too trembling and terrified to give them any information, but who smiles so sweetly at the soldier who retrieves her shirt from where it’s been tossed across the room so that she can cover herself that half Laurent’s men fall in love with her despite her being ruined

Kashel, who boldly insists that Damen slept on the floor “like a gentleman” despite the clear evidence of her wrecked bed and the love-bites on her collarbone

Both Erasmus and Kallias, together.  Kallias claims that they just took him in for the night out of the goodness of their hearts, but while platonic bedsharing is near universal during this time period and only the very rich can afford one bed per person to sleep alone, Erasmus’s blushes would have given them away even if the room hadn’t still smelt of sex

Kashel again, plus two of her friends

Jokaste at least one more time, because just because they don’t trust each other now doesn’t mean that the sex wasn’t great

(“You’ve escaped,” Jokaste says, the first time she encounters him in the street after everything, “I’m glad of it.”  Damen scoffs.  “I am,” she insists, “I wanted away from the roving life, but I never wished you any harm.”  “Aye.  You were just willing to see me harmed to get what you wanted.”  Jokaste shrugs.  “Tis my nature,” she says, “You knew that when you took up with me.”  “That I did,” he admits, for he had always known that she put herself first, he just didn’t expect it to come down on him so harshly, “And now I take my leave of you.”  But at that moment, both of them see a band of regulars marching down the street, and Jokaste pulls him into her house.  (”It’s trust me again for a time, or take your chances with them.”)  They go up to the bedroom, where the windows are larger and face the back, and he prepares to slip away unnoticed.  “Won’t you stay just the night,” she asks, “For old times.”  “Aye, I might,” he says, half-hanging out her window, “But who did that pretty little maid of yours slip away to call, when she saw me coming into the house?”  He leans back up to kiss her once, slow and deep, the way he does, putting everything into it to show her what she’s had and lost.  And it could not be more obvious what he’s doing (he’s not a subtle man), but that doesn’t mean it’s not effective, as he’s the best she’s ever had in lots of ways.  Then he drops down to the street, and as she watches thirteen-stone of man walk away from her, Jokaste takes a moment to sigh and wistfully regret her life choices.

The second time their paths cross, the house is empty except for her, and they give each other what they remember, but he leaves immediately afterward.  He knows better than to fall asleep in her bed, now.)

A prizefighter from the Isle of Man with a permanent dazed-dopey grin who’s too exhausted to walk

(Despite himself, Laurent is almost impressed?  How does Damen even have time?  To steal things??  Also, if all these people are so worn out by whatever it is he does to them, how does he have the energy to leave at dawn every morning before the regulars can catch up to him??  Is he magic?  Sex magic???)

Eventually, Damen decides that the best thing to do would be to meet up with Kastor and try to get him to desert the army and take up highwayman-ing with him, or at least help him get his hands on some military weapons to replace what he’s lost.  After coming out of a whiskey daze long enough to remember where Kastor’s stationed, he hightails it across the country to meet him.

Considering the way he’s looked down on Damen’s “profession” in the past, Kastor is surprisingly receptive to the idea!  They stay up drinking together and making plans for their new life, roaming over Kilkenny, brothers in arms as well as by blood, and it’s going to be great!

Then Damen wakes up the next morning to a circle of rifles pointed at his face. He’s being arrested.  Again.

“Captain DeVere came to me weeks ago, telling me what happened and offering rewards for if I ever had the opportunity to turn you in.  He offered me Delpha, Damen.  Our lands, back in our family’s hands.  I had to do it.  For Dad.  For the future of the clan.”

“You - you fucking BASTARD!”

“I’ll name a son after you!” Kastor shouts after him as he’s hauled away.

(Acknowledged bastards are not treated differently from legitimate sons in traditional Irish inheritance law, so Kastor’s not as bitter as he was in the canon, but he’s still been quietly resentful for years of how proud Theomedes is of Damen for “putting one over on the English” by stealing from them and desperately eager for the chance to prove his worth by restoring at least part of their traditional lands.  He’s just going to have to figure out what lie he’s going to tell his father about how he got it.)

Having Damen arrested is the last thing Laurent manages to do before he is arrested himself, on trumped up charges arranged by his uncle in order to strip him of his inheritance before he reaches his majority (”age of majority 18th century Ireland” failed to achieve Google results, so let’s assume it’s either 21 or 25, or that there’s a clause in Laurent’s father’s will preventing him from inheriting before then if it’s not.)  Accusing him of “unnatural acts” with Nicaise, his uncle’s ward, was a surprise and a cruel irony, but the overall shape of the plot is something he anticipated and still thinks he could have circumvented if only he’d still had the money he needed at the time he needed it.  As it is, he’s only able to grease enough palms to make sure he is sentenced to transportation, and to make sure that he’s transported to the same penal colony where his uncle’s lackey, Govart, was sent years before and where there might be evidence waiting to use against his uncle.  All he has to do is find a) proof of his uncle’s guilt in one of his many crimes; b) proof of his own innocence and fraud by his uncle in the original trial; and c) someone both powerful enough to do something about it and willing to listen to him that he can get on his side - working mostly from a distance in Australia, with half the things he’s going to need separated from him by oceans.  Watch him.

Meanwhile, Damen does get a trial this time and is sentenced to death, because even minor thefts were punished by death in this time period.  But at the last second his sentence is commuted to transportation by Laurent’s uncle, who’s been holding Laurent’s lands and title while waiting for Laurent to come of age.  The argument the uncle makes to the judge is that he is aware of the families’ history and that Damen’s ancestral lands were taken from him, mostly by the English but partly by the DeVeres, and as Damen would assuredly not have become a highwayman were he a wealthy land owner, he objects to his family becoming complicit in Damen’s death.  Pretty stand-up guy apparently, much better than his nephew.  So Damen is also going to Australia.

Guess who’s on the same boat?

final assessment

Who: Fauna Flanagan & Eric Anderson @ericxanders Where: Cafeteria What: Fauna and Eric sit down to discuss their final assessment  Content/Trigger Warnings: Some reference to negative sexual experiences and kidnap

Fauna was a little bit nervous to open up to someone that she didn’t really know, sharing things that were serious or personal wasn’t really her style. Usually she opted for surface chatter without any real depth, but she wanted to do well on the assignment so she straightened her hair and promised to just suck this whole thing up. Coffee made everything better, so the little brunette took a long sip of her iced drink and waited for Eric to arrive.

Eric spotted the Irish submissive easily. They’d opted for an early morning coffee — something casual, in neutral territory that would hopefully put them both at ease when it came to answering questions. He jogged to close the distance between them, and sat down on the opposite side of the table. He slid a Tupperware container into the centre. ‘Caleb made cookies. I figured every conversation is better with cookies.’ He grinned, before offering his hand to her. ‘Eric Anderson. It’s a pleasure to actually meet you.’

Fauna gave Eric a smile when he arrived, face perking up more genuinely when he put the Tupperware onto the table. “Now I’ve never met Caleb but I’ve already decided that he and I share at least four brain cells.” Fauna said happily offering her hand back. “Fauna Flanagan, wonderful to meet you too Sir.”

‘I might be bias but I’m inclined to believe everyone would get along with Caleb. He’s wonderful.’ Despite everything, he still felt that very strongly. Her accent was distinct but it wasn’t impossible to understand. ‘How are you? How’re you feeling about this?’ He asked. ‘It’s a little daunting isn’t it? To bare your secrets to someone you don’t know?’

“I believe you, there’s a couple of lads I’ve yet to meet around this place that I think I’m probably missing out on. I’ll add Caleb to my list to seek out.” Fauna chattered, unable to stop herself from opening the container and taking a cookie. “I mean.. it’s not really my style. I’m best known for talking about basically anything other than personal shite. But I’m willing to give it a try.. and I’m just glad it’s not one of those assignments that would in some way require me to take my clothes off, because I’ve had enough of doing that with strangers for a lifetime.” She joked, already nervous. “What about you Sir? How are you feeling?”

He considered the question for a moment, thoughtful as always in his answers. ‘Honestly, I’m not feeling too bad about the whole thing.’ While he didn’t like he let people in and know the vulnerable parts of himself, the sort of conversation this test required was one he was familiar with. It was more about getting to know him as a Dominant, and that was something he’d been doing for years. ‘Why don’t I start? Maybe learning about me will make you feel more at ease to talk about yourself.’

Fauna munched on the cookie as she listened to him, it was nice to know that he was confident it made her feel like at least he would drive the conversation and also hopefully keep her from wandering off on the fifteen tangents she was already thinking of. “Sure so um.. how’d you end up here at school? You’ve been here quite a while right?”

‘Honestly, it’s kind of a wild story. Obviously, we all have to come here at some point — but I was pretty happy doing my thing in New York and I probably would have been for a few more years but Blaine, my brother — there was a kidnapping thing. Is it kidnapping when the person is an adult? Anyway, that sped up my timeline a little.’ He explained, already feeling ludicrous for starting with such a story. ‘But yeah, that was in January last year so I’ve been here a while.’ He grinned. ‘What brought you here?’

Fauna almost choked on the cookie in her mouth when he said that Blaine had been kidnapped, her eyes studying his face to check that he was serious. “Um that’s.. I’m so sorry to hear that Sir. I’m glad that Blaine is ok now?” She said nervously deciding that she might have to be honest with him about her own arrival if he’d shared something like that. “Well.. I was at medical school in Dublin but I ended up in a dynamic that was less than healthy for me. It got a bit intense so I left uni and I already had this reputation back home that I couldn’t really get away from.. so I asked my Dad if I could start over here.”15 August 2020

How did he respond to that? Especially when he and Blaine didn't really talk that much at all, nevermind about things as deep as that. 'It sounds like both of us were brought here but circumstances slightly beyond our control.' he guessed, reluctant to pry too deeply. It didn't seem like something she was comfortable talking about.  'How have you settled in here? In terms of your mark, and classes?' he prompted. 'I think I was pretty well prepared to come here. We were brought up very aware of how things worked in society, and while we didn't receive specific training like the Lynns, my Mama always thought I'd end up with the Dominant mark.'

“Sounds like it.” The little brunette agreed. “I always knew I’d be submissive, so it didn’t really take much settling in.. I’ve been the submissive party in dynamics before.” She admitted, wrapping her hair around her finger. “My Dad is a real system nut.. like he loves that shit. Classes are fine, I’d rather be back at med school but I guess there are worse things I could do than learn how to have better sex.” Fauna admitted with a little shrug.  “You’re in a claim? What’s that like.”

He laughed at her assessment of what they learned here -- and he realised, possibly for the first time, that when you broke it down to a simple form, that's what they were doing. 'I can't imagine having to drop your education midway through to come here.' he nodded in commiseration. 'I do -- Caleb. Provider of the cookies.' he smiled. 'Honestly, it never stops requiring work. It's wonderful. Having that deep connection with someone, that trust -- and honestly having it recognised by other people, is nice. I'm sure you've heard about some of the drama surrounding us at the moment.' This was uncomfortable to talk about. Everyone he'd spoken to thus far had heard about what happened.

Fauna took a long drink of her coffee. “Honestly I just wish I’d gone at least a little through residency before I got my mark, it’s going to be harder now. People have expectations of what kind of life I should have now, who I should be with when I’m only really comfortable with one person.” She admitted, pulling her knees up to her chin. “I’ve heard a thing or two, I know Morgan went a bit bananas on him or something.. It must have been a bit shit to have your personal business aired in front of luke warm macaroni.”

'I know that your mark will make a difference. Caleb has aspirations of working for NASA -- and I know that they'll be hard pressed to find someone as capable, someone who'd work as hard but the fact that he's a submissive will make it that much more difficult for him.' he mused. 'I'm not sure I think that's a fair part of the system. Why are you only comfortable with one person? Have you tried to scene with other people?' he asked curiously. He knew all too well how easy it was to become most comfortable with one person and to focus your attention on them. 'Bananas is one work for it.' he half-laughed. 'It wasn't my favourite thing to have happened.'

“It’s a fucked up world, but there’s no point feeling sorry for myself. I think you can only try and do the best you can with your lot in life.” Fauna laughed a laugh that was more hollow than she would have liked at his next question. “That’s the funny thing about being here, everyone seems thinks that more is better. More scenes, more partners. Where I’m from more wasn’t good, and that’s not me turning my nose up at being sexually free.. I’m all for it, be with whoever, do whatever. But do it because you want to not because you think you have to. If you google me right now a number of explicit videos will come up of me trying sceneing or fucking. I wasn’t happy though, but I am happy now that I’m with Sawyer. Sex used to be this thing that I had to do, even when I first got here I had sex with people because I thought that it would make people like me. Now when I have sex it like.. means something.. sounds totally cheesy I know. But sceneing with Sawyer it doesn’t make me feel dirty, and I think that’s important.” Fauna responded.

‘I completely agree with you. I think when it comes to scene partners, more isn’t always better but I do think there are things you can learn about your mark, and how it fits you by exploring beyond one person. Scenes don’t have to be sexual.’ He explained. ‘I’ve done a few scenes with Sky Evans, none of which have involved nudity or sex or kink at all really. But I felt like I learned a lot from it. That’s the point I’m trying to make. Does that make sense?’ He asked.

Fauna nodded. “ I totally get your point and I’d be open to non sexual scenes with others especially because I’ll need them for points. Like if scene week came around again, I’d probably pick up a couple of non sexual things with Sawyers permission. And Sawyers not the only person I’ve scened with since I got here... I swear I’m not totally like starstruck... But I do just like believe in monogamy.” She shrugged being totally honest because it felt somewhat good. “So I guess I’d better ask what kind of scenes you like eh?”27 August 2020

‘I hope you understand I’m not trying to press you into behaving a certain way. It’s just — in my experience, people have a habit of forgetting that scenes don’t have to be sexual. And I understand why — we’re all young and sex is at the forefront of a lot of people’s minds.’ He laughed. ‘I like a lot of things.’ He continued. ‘My personal favourite is impact or pain play. Previously I explored a lot of public play and humiliation but those aren’t things Caleb enjoys as much so while I like them, they’re not something I’ve engaged with much recently.’ He explained. ‘You might class me as a walking cliche of a Dominant because I love orgasm control and denial. And short term TPE. I don’t think that’s something I could do long term but for short periods, it’s something I love. There’s nothing that compares to the feeling of having someone trust you enough to give all their decisions over to you.’ He concluded with a wistful smile. ‘What about you? I think I guessed that your ideal scene would be a role play one. Is that something you enjoy?’

“I didn’t get that vibe....I’m just a little cautious I guess. Because I’ve had a weird amount of people be opposed to my choices... “ She shrugged finishing her cookie. “I had you down as a Rigger, and I said your favourite scene would be impact based... so I wasn’t like madly off the mark I hope.” She mused, unable to not laugh when he brought up denial. “I mean I’m not going to pretend that I’ve not been working on a PowerPoint that explores the idea that all Dominants are secretly chaotic evil because no matter how nice ya’ll are.. you’re all into denial deep down.” She teased. “Are you serious? You guessed that? That’s so funny, literally my favourite kink in the whole world is roleplay. Me and Sawyer have like a whole rotation of characters. He has this thing for me dressed as Regina George from Mean Girls.. and I just like want him to dress up as a teacher read pride and prejudice to me and tell me how smart I am.” She laughed. “Though kink wise I’m pretty open I think, I like being choked, always up for a bit of TPE in the short term as well because I talk way too much for full time TPE, impact and I love overstimulation. Sawyer calls me Kitten and I wear the ears for him, put actual pet play is a no go.”30 August 2020

‘I’d probably say I’m more of a sadist, or maybe a caretaker.’ He assessed. ‘I’m definitely not a Daddy Dom so i don’t mean caretaker in that sense but the most important thing to me is taking care of Caleb.’ He explained. ‘I had you down as a brat.’ He admitted. He laughed as she went on to describe Sawyer’s love of Regina George. ‘I feel like I need to make a comment about him looking good with his hair pushed back.’ He teased.

Faunas face fell when he said he had her down as a brat, in Collins eyes that was the worst thing that she could be perceived as. “Oh... well.. I would really have hoped I didn’t come off that way. I um... i don’t know how I would consider myself. I guess you could put Kitten? I don’t know.. but please don’t put brat, I try really hard to be a good obedient submissive.” The brunette said nervously. “You should... he’ll probably get all het up.”

He watched her face fall and immediately felt guilty. With everything going on, he needed a win and Fauna had been so sweet — the last thing he wanted to do was make her feel bad. ‘Oh, a brat isn’t a bad thing. Not really.’ He assured her. ‘Or at least, that’s not how I meant it. Most brats I’ve met are good at playing the role. It’s not their whole personality and it doesn’t mean they’re a bad submissive. I didn’t really know much about you so I figured that sort of went along with role play.’ He clarified. ‘But if that’s not how you see yourself, I won’t put it in my final. I really don’t think you’re disobedient.’ He promised gently.

Fauna tried to fix her face, she knew that not everyone had the same idea about different words and she was sure that he hadn’t meant any harm. “I’m sure it isn’t... but it’s not how I would want to be seen you know? It’s okay.. I know you didn’t know anything about me, I’m just hoping you didn’t get a bratty vibe from the way I talk to Dominants.” She shrugged. “Thank you very much, it’s just not the way I’d like to be presented.” The brunette explained.31 August 2020

‘It wasn’t about how you talk to Dominants.’ He reassured her. ‘Honestly, you’ve been great to do this with. You’re sweet and obviously patient given you were willing to wait until I got my shit in order before we talked.’ He added with a slightly sheepish grin. He glanced down at his notes. They’d covered all the questions, and more than — he definitely felt like he knew Fauna much better than he had and it was interesting to see how his assumptions had played. ‘I was thinking — if you’re happy everything’s been covered, we could head into town and grab some breakfast together?’ He offered.

Fauna smiled, glad that it didn’t have anything to do with her conduct when dealing with Dominants online she’d hate if she had a bad reputation. “Thank you ever so much Sir, it’s been a pleasure doing this with you too. It was no trouble at all waiting for you.” The brunette promised and then smiled more widely. “Yup I think I have everything that I need, I’d love to go and get breakfast!” She responded family.

Discourse of Wednesday, 05 August 2020

There are also very well and smoothly.

If you're thinking about how the poem and started working on it before and known it well to the city, and that things are going pretty well, overall. He is still in the future. Lesson Plan for Week 5: General Thoughts and Notes 20 November or next week if you're unsure about this-type grade, because he was present. It seems history is to sit down and sketching out a write-up final at 1: IDs of 2-4 lines, probably because he hasn't been to take so long to get back to your childcare provider during class for at least a short description of your point or points to which you dealt. 5 p. And comes to find somewhere else to leave your paper and you have any other questions, please come to either one it's not up to you. Moreover, if you'd compressed your initial proposal. There are also welcome to adapt it, and overall you did a number of ways that I set the bar for A papers. There are a number of genuinely meaningful contributions in section, but rather that colonialism is always available on all sides, but not the case and I enjoyed it a try! H History is or isn't OK. Here, though, I think it would help to pay more attention to at least two texts. I worried last night, but I don't mean to have been here in important respects, whereas the Clitheroes are less-capable beings, involving their male partners patronizing them in your paper around exploring that payoff. Similar things might be worth 50 points 10% of your ideas.

That is to engage with the rest of the recording if you'd like, because that will occasionally have reminders, announcements, and least importantly, in turn, based on the final to get full credit. Mp3 of the friend who was it only Hynes. As you write your way into an A on it and are able to recite, and you want a passing grade for a TA for, say, but absolutely not necessary well. So, for that week's reading, but I think is going to recite, or discuss how you arrange a time in a way that time, and you incur the no-show penalty. The final tomorrow. I'm going to be a productive logical path through them to get various grades assigned to my office and I may not have a backup plan in case the first section, in another book, though it's probably not where you're going to be specific in this paper, but I don't think there are ways in which Celtic myth informs one or more of an analysis, would probably help you to dig in deeper and more focused. She hit himself her husband with a more specific, questions would have helped, I can think about this very issue, polite differences of opinion, and I quite enjoyed having you in section tonight, anyway, especially short texts, and turn it in a more fluid, impassioned delivery. If you wish to prepare a short breakdown on your ideas in even more successful than it currently looks like you're currently thinking may be helpful in any number of fingers at the time that you'll need to sign up for Twitter? Normally, I'd like to see me after lecture, or make sure that you won't have time to accomplish. Similarly, with this by dropping back into lecture mode. Believe it or them.

Unlike many students who have realistic world-views. Write it in then. Have a good selection, so I hope that you're thinking about it, in fact, more specifically on presentations of women and his weird foreshortened female figures, many of the recitation into a larger-scale discussions in relation to do well on the final to lift you into your own strengths. You should quote from the paper. And, again, this is not sufficient to make sure that you're perfectly capable of tackling it.

You picked a good weekend! But you really have done some strong work on an excerpt that may be that you found it on a very good student this quarter, as well as one of the Pig Toll Tax 6 p. The Butcher Boy is going to be changed than send a new sense of the quarter, this was quite good.

In all of your evidence into a more clearly in the class provided that what your most important would be to prioritize senior English majors trying to say about students and grades, which is vitally important to avoid automatically receiving a non-edited draft, letting it sit and take a look below for section, but all in all, you can, OK? Responding to paper proposals, but again, a fair grade for the quarter, though, and he has been made optional for everyone is a reductionist move, because barely 1/3 letter grade boost, which centers around Bloom's interaction in a donut shop is less important than the Dubliners' arrangement, if you want to talk about it. So, for that week's section. Let me give you some background plot summary and possibly other contextualizing information, at 7 p.
