Ansley Vaughan - "L'Atelier du Temps"

Pencil and Indian ink on white paper

" A shy history professor takes a winter trip to Brittany to get away from disgrace at home. But a strange encounter with the proprietor of a very odd shop plunges him into medieval mayhem and some very intimate experiences. Will this convince him that his own times aren't so bad, and show him the way to happiness and peace of mind?"

Another story that completely took me by surprise, and was a really wonderful story to work with. I love history, and Britanny, and slash ~ what more could I ask for than being asked to illustrate a story that contains all three?

Here, the 'shy history professor' has finally found what he was looking for, and celebrates this with a kiss in the doorway of an old building. The story can be found at Ansley Vaughan's site under "Short stories".
