Canon Story: Musgrave Ritual
Title: The Other Woman
Author: azriona
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Author's Notes: I can’t help but wonder about Janet, the woman Brunton was seeing when he died. There must have been a reason he asked Rachel and not her for assistance – not like this answers that question, but still, I wonder. Not beta’ed or Britpicked; con-crit welcome. Mostly, I just want to know if it works!





“Janet, sit with Rachel,” said Mrs. Coulson; there was no one else. Rachel shivered, whimpered, flinched from the blanket I put on her shoulders, as though it were made of thorns. Her eyes begged me for mercy and atonement.

I think I knew then. I didn’t understand until later.

Mr. Musgrave says she fled to the Continent. I know better.

Interesting, interesting! And so very dark. It feels rewarding to see more of the characters in the background, to see them as people and not just stand-ins.

I concur! There are a lot of interesting background players here, and a glimpse at a possibility is quite interesting.

That's quite ominous. Still fascinated at the variety of takes on the tales

Nicely done:-)

Well done! Appreciate you bringing out another 'background' character in this story and making her more real.
