[image description expanded from alt text: a full-body digital drawing of Hendricks from the Fetch Phillips Archives series. Hendricks is a thin, pale elf with long curly red hair, a mustache, and a short beard. he's wearing a long, gold satin robe with a ruffled collar and trim, puffy sleeves, and a billowing train. the robe is fastened at the neck, then opens to reveal his bare chest. he's also wearing green pants tucked into shiny black boots with a chunky high heel, and a pair of dangly emerald earrings. Hendricks is glancing to the right with a slight grin. his hair is billowing out behind him in the same direction as the robe, like they're both blowing in the breeze. the background is a solid pale yellow with a green rectangle across the center. end id]

More update from Luke Arnold's newsletter!
It’s All Happening!
Where to begin? I’ve had a busy few weeks, and whether you’re interested in my books, comics or acting, I reckon I’ve got something for you today.
ESSENTIALS
We’re live! The graphic novel that I co-wrote is taking orders on Kickstarter. Please pop on over there and take a look. You can buy our base-level book known as the Audacious Edition, or choose from a bunch of different covers and tiers.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
If you’ve already signed up, thank you so much for your support. Hopefully you’ve seen how much hard work, love, and artistry has gone into this project, and we can’t wait to wrap up the campaign and send you the books in the coming months.
BLACK SAILS
Black Sails is now on Netflix in the US! I’d be shocked if there’s anyone on this mailing list who hasn’t watched the show, but this might be the perfect time to convince others to finally take to the seas.
I was lucky enough to be in LA for a bit of a reunion and celebratory screening. It was a glorious night of hugs, laughter, back-slapping and even a few tears (who would have expected Charles Vane to be the first to cry?) We’ve already hit the 6th most watched show on Netflix, so let’s see how high we can climb.
SCRUBLANDS
Scrublands is coming to Sundance Now on May 12th! You can check out the US trailer here!
And at that time, I’ll be heading to Western Australia to begin shooting the follow-up SILVER, based on Chris Hammer’s next book in the Martin Scarsden series.
I loved working on this show and was so happy with the amazing response we got when it aired in Australia, so I can’t wait to get back into Martin’s shoes.
FETCH 4
We’re into edits on the fourth instalment of The Fetch Phillips Archives. I’m really happy with this book so hopefully we’ll have a solid release date to announce soon.
Let’s leave it there for now. I'll have some other things to share soon, including details on Nautilus, Last King of the Cross, and more.
Thanks again for all your support, and have a lovely day wherever you are x

Hi Nara! To celebrate your new fic, I humbly submit Harry/Nicodemus to you for the ship bingo. (And Simms/Eileen if you feel like doing two!)
Thank you <3
Aaah, it takes a special kindness to ask me about a ship that you don't interact with. Thank you, friend <3
Harry/Nicodemus, my darlings
my friends are tired of me screaming about this. Yes, very tired, probably. I'm sorry. I don't intend to stop tho ^^"
I'm going to hit them with a crowbar. Gently. I mean neither will break. So I'm going to gently bonk them until they talk to each other properly and kiss lol
train wreck but I can't look away. They have a counter of how many attempts they made on each other's lives.
I want to write fics for this and luckily I doooo write fics for this <3
THAT one scene. you know the one. In the sense that I'm always making these posts where I go "You know THAT one scene where they do THAT thing that makes me CRAZY"
INTERESTING COMPELLING COMPLEX SCREECHING
this has no right to be a rare pair. I mean. I get it. On the other hand if Harry/Marcone became so popular, Harry/Nic wouldn't be a stretch, you know? :P
I need a 200k slow burn NOW. No energy to write it tho lol
person a deserves better than person b. Harry does deserve someone better than Nicodemus. But when I write them Nic always treats him right
they are divorced, possibly not for the first time. I'm re-listening to Skin Game and they bicker like a divorced couple. "Who needs no introduction." Right, cause you guys know each other better than you have any reason to, kiss already
could cut the tension with a KNIFE. Seriously. We had an actual knife involved at one point. Pinning up against walls. Choking. Hair pulling. It's great.
Overall, I just love their dynamic and the potential in this ship <3
Simms/Eileen
pleasantly surprised by being canon. Come on, Luke practically confirmed this will become canon. That is so cool!
I'm a casual shipper. I like them. Wrote a fic. Don't think I wrote it for the right reasons tho, and prob wouldn't write another. But I would 100% read more fic and like them overall.
THAT one scene. you know the one. When Fetch introduces them and Simms just looooks at Eileen for a little too long. Hope we'll get more iconic scenes with them in the next book.
unironically relationship goals. I think they would be good for each other, you know?
Thanks so much for playing! xx

Do you know where Luke Arnold published his Black Sails fic?
ok i was kind of joking the books are very much their Own Thing but there's definitely a lot of black sails in the dna of them imo. I think they're good!!! It's been a while since i read them but Luke Arnold also read the audiobooks for them and does a fantastic job with the voices of all the different characters!!! There are definitely some folks on here that are more familiar with the series than I am!! There's a very small but lovely and dedicated fandom on here for them. There was however a like instagram live or something where he and some of the black sails cast read out a crossover fic with the fetch phillips and bs characters I'm pretty sure that happened and I'm not just making that up (if someone has the link 👀👀)
Link now in notes thanks to the lovely @jaynovz !!!

Baxster Thatch from the Fetch Phillips Archives series: my fav character who uses they/them and has horns and an internal fire and wears a suit and is therefore designed for me to love them forever
[ID: a character in a cartoon chibi style, with red ram horns, dark purple-toned skin, and eyes and long hair coloured in a gradient like they are lit by a fire inside. They wear a black and grey suit and are holding two rolls of parchment under their arm. A friendly smirk is on their rounded face. End ID]
#fetch phillips archives#baxster thatch#chibi#i don't remember if their hair is ever described so I just had as much fun as i could 🖌👀

Audio
[audio description: a bitter, resentful song played on piano, getting more wretched and wailing as it progresses. lyrics below. end ad]
listen on bandcamp | soundcloud | ao3
lyrics:
things change
but you knew me start to finish the first time you said my name
I stay the same
is that what you want me to say?
I'm still lying in the ditch
still reading too much meaning into every little twitch
still mopping whiskey off the floor
nobody's paying me to do it anymore
you lost everything that day
I had nothing and I gave it all away
a debt too high to ever be repaid
is that what you want me to say?
I still come when you call
gravity still works: when you push me, I still fall
I've not forgotten how to play my role
you can let me off the leash, I'm still a watchdog on patrol
you've changed
your face and limbs all rearranged
I still grit my teeth through every pain
is that what you want me to say?
I took the shining emeralds from your eyes
I grabbed your next three hundred years and choked out all the life
that's the most of you that I have ever held
can you believe that you once looked at me and told me I'd done well?
empty credits on my resume
special skills: desert, steal, and betray
always hoped that I would make you proud someday
is that what you want me to say?
the world has changed
all its warmth gone down the drain
but I stay the same
I was born to shiver anyway
I was in the gutter anyway
I was just some human anyway
no one but myself who I can blame
is that what you want me to say?

Real Wizard Shit (Part 1)
He kept going, but I couldn’t help feeling like something about the fans didn’t match up with the story. [ Dead Man in a Ditch, Chapter 62]
Happy Server-Versary Sunder City! Have a (mostly) articulate lay out of my breakdown of Wizards and their place in The Code
It would be real easy and entirely too convenient for Fetch to be right about everything. It would also be slightly naive to think that any party presenting information has a full understanding of the situations and that they were not lying.
On the surface level we're shown and told that there has also been some tension between Magum and Humans and yadda yadda yadda the Code happens…
…and blame rests entirely on the Human Army.
The Human Army sent their machines into the mountain but when they tried to harness the power of the river, something far more terrible happened. The shimmering river of magic turned from mist to solid crystal. It froze. The heart of the world stopped beating and every magical creature felt the change. [ Last Smile, Chapter 1]
The mechanical fans had been replaced long ago by magical technology. By the time the Coda happened, the lamps, factories, and the whole damn city was plugged into portals, not pipes. When the river froze and the Wizards lost their power, the channels closed up and the flames were trapped below.[ Dead Man, Chapter 63]
Seven years ago, when the Human Army pierced the surface of the sacred river with their machines, the soul of the planet responded by turning into crystal. [ One Foot, Chapter 52]
It's presented as such a concrete fact that these and other iterations of it appear in all the books and in multiple contexts. I'd we're validating the fact that the Human Army cause the River to freeze why do we ignore that, canonically, we have the confirmation that Wizards were mucking around too?
Fact is we(and Fetch) don't know exactly what happened at the river but there's more than a passing chance that are some shenanigans going around and every step of the way the reader is sort of validated to think about how exactly Wizard Magic works.
In Fetch's Flashback in Last Smile in Sunder City I've pulled some of the relevant quotes (Chapter 24). Bold emphasis mine.
Wizards do not create magic from their fingertips. They transport it. There is a commonly held belief among the Magum that pockets of pure magic – a “river” of magic, to some, exist deep inside the planet. The Wizards, somehow, are able to teleport pieces of that magic up to the surface. Different spells pull their power from different pockets, or so the story goes.
Instead of summoning energy from the source of power to a Wizard’s hands, this is a Wizard sending magic from the source out to a specific location.
But rather than bring the power from the source to their fingertips, they stand at the source and use the portal to push the magic somewhere else. This, I think you will all agree, is a far more likely explanation.
The only conclusion I can come to is that the Magum are working from this place, this gash in the earth, and they are using its power to destroy our cities without consequence.
His guilty hindsight is giving the context that Fetch was tricked and manipulated into reveling where he knows The Great River can be accessed. Our problem as reader is that the Human Army was partially right.
Were Wizards going wild and attacking human cites left and right? Probably not. The issue is that they might have been doing more with the Great River than s implying pulling magic from it via portals. We're told from other magical citizens int he know, "Using the four fingers to create specific, intricate patterns, we could open tiny portals from which pure magic would emerge." [Last Smile, Chapter 2] ; "Well, Wizards were able to summon energy from some far-off place to the space between their hands. But only for a moment."[Dead Man, Chapter 29].
Then we have the matter that if we're being told in each book that the Human Army froze the river, in every book we have more or less have admissions that Wizards were doing something as well- and that The Opus might have known. It could be very easy to play off the con run on Fetch by the Human Army was a one off.
Except in Dead Man in a Ditch there is a letter completely unprompted from anyone on the Human side of things to Lance Niles from Hendricks:
Mr Niles,
I have been informed of your plans for Sunder City and humbly offer my services. In the days since the Coda, I have spent every waking moment researching ways to not only return this world to its former glory, but to go beyond what was possible in the magical age. I am delighted to hear of another like-minded entrepreneur and believe that you and I should meet in person at your earliest convenience.
To whet your appetite, I will tell you that I have spent the last year traveling to the Keats University on Mizunrum and I have information regarding the Wizards there that I am sure you would find most interesting.
Congratulations on all your recent successes and I look forward to our meeting.
Your Friend,
Mr Deamar
Would the High Chancellor Hendricks not know that Wizards were experimenting on the Great River? Fetch and the us are brought to one of the entry points to the Great River in One Foot in the Fade and we're treated to the fact that yes, The Great River is frozen and that yes, Wizards are actively mining it. He even observes the following in Chapter 52,
But now a quarry had been dug into the river’s surface. Now there were chunks of the divine being dragged away in mine carts. If all it took was a single intrusion into the river to stop it flowing, then how could it restart after an assault like this?
[…]This pit must have been made back before the Coda – just the kind of thing a kingdom of power-hungry Wizards might create if they wanted to increase their connection to the source of all magic – and that meant that it was all ready to be exploited once the river froze up.
Which jives with both the Human Army's assessment and how Wizard magic was known to operate by people that were not laymen to Magic.
Prior to the Human Army invading the mountain, Wizards were experimenting on The River and its not just conjecture. Keats, the University that Wizards learned at, had also been mentioned in each of the three books was visited by Linda. She filled in some of the gaps that Fetch wasn't aware of,
When I told them about the Unicorn horn – and the fact that pieces of pure magic could be weaponized – the Wizards I was working with soon turned their minds to Incava. They knew of the chasm that had been created here. How the Wizards here had spent years digging down into the rock, hoping to draw their magic directly from below to make their spells more powerful than ever before. It was a secret endeavor, rarely spoken of outside those in the castle.” [ One Foot, Chapter 52]
There is no one in canon that has actually described how the Human Army froze the Great River. We've had multiple characters forthrightly admit that Wizards were experimenting on it.
We have taken it entirely for granted that Humans are the ones that actually cause the Coda and until we find out that "how" we should probably keep an open mind on it.

In the weeks since I've drawn this, I have both learned that Fetch's coat has crimson fur, and that I misspelled his last name. Sigh. Follow for more high quality research!

what we can have
I want to say ‘this is a weird one’ but let’s face it: when have I ever written something that’s not?
That said… this is: a) a crossover b) wizardbaron
Fandom: The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher, The Fetch Phillips Archives Series - Luke Arnold
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Harry Dresden/Johnny Marcone, Thurston Niles/Fetch Phillips
Tags: Crossover, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Dimension Travel, POV Alternating, POV First Person, POV Third Person, Marcone POV, Fetch POV, in terms of the Dresden Files it's set after Fool Moon, in the FPA universe after OFITF, pining Wizardbaron, established Philes, because I said so, somehow Philes ended up being the emotionally more mature couple in this which is hilarious, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Fae & Fairies, Niles & Marcone bromance, Fluff
Summary:
John Marcone has a bad start of his day when he manages to get his favorite wizard to help him, only for them to be transported to a different city. Fetch Phillips also faces trouble when a self-proclaimed wizard and a trigger-happy mafia boss enter his café unexpectedly.
The story of four men grappling with the unpredictable nature of magic and their impractical crushes.
Read on AO3
To answer a few questions you might have in advance:
Can I read this if I haven’t read the Dresden Files?
Yes, totally! There are a few minor spoilers from book 1 & 2 but nothing big. If you are familiar with the general premise of the Dresden Files, you should be fine.
Can I read this if I haven’t read the Fetch Phillips Archives?
Technically, yes, but from the FPA perspective, this takes place after the third book, and there are some pretty significant spoilers alluded to. If you have no intention of reading the FPA or don’t care about the spoilers, you should be fine. However, I think if you like the Dresden Files, you should really give the Fetch Phillips Archives a go, and maybe save this fic after you read the first three books ;)
Nara you never seemed like a huge Wizardbaron fan, how come you wrote this ship? Can we expect more Harry x Marcone fics in the future?
GODS I HOPE NOT
I’m sorry for being so antagonistic about this. I have a real love/hate relationship with Marcone and this ship.
I get everything I ever wanted from enjoying Harry/Nic and Fetch/Niles. The reason why this fic ended up being Harry/Marcone is because they are much closer in vibe to Fetch/Niles, and I thought Marcone and Niles would get along pretty well. These ships and characters mirrored each other nicely so Marcone fit my idea better.
If I could have gotten away with making this Harry/Nic I would have, believe me.
I will always respect Wizardbaron enjoyers as the backbone of the DF fandom. And I also liked the idea of writing something that they could realistically enjoy without having to descend into the rarepair hell with me lol
I have no intention of writing more wizardbaron tho, sorry. Although as all fanfic writers know we have limited control of what we end up writing, am I right?
Also I re-listened to Even Hand while editing, and I highly recommend the audiobook version of that if you’re far enough into the DF series. It’s narrated by Mr. Author himself (btw I don’t know why I always call him that but you know, I think I’d better stick to Fae rules and don’t call him by his name on a fanfic lmao) and he clearly had so much fun with it. Certain implications for future theories aside it’s also one of the good parts with Marcone.
Anyway, if you read all that ramble i love you hope you enjoy the fic <3
