The Sebastian Nothwell Contemporary Expanded Universe on Patreon

A thought experiment that frankly got out of hand is up on Patre♡n! Daring to answer the question no one asked – what would the casts of Mr Warren’s Profession, Hold Fast, and Fiorenzo get up to in a modern setting?

Joining me on Patre♡n will give you access to “drawer fic” – aka the 500k+ words worth of manuscripts that have been shelved until I figure out how to fix or finish them. You’ll also be invited to join an exclusive Discord server just for patrons!

A new chapter will go up every week. Missing (unwritten) scenes will be indicated by brackets describing what would probably happen if the scene were written. Example: [in this scene Aubrey and Lindsey ride a carousel]
