This is good work. It certainly has a lot of potential.
I liked that you said that you tried to get everything accurate in relation to
the 18th century; you didn't just dive into this all willy-nilly.
Probably this is why I'm pointing this out to you. I did have some slight concerns,for example, the name Stuart.
The Stuarts were the royal family of England (& Scotalnd) up until the early 1700s,I believe.
After that they were pretenders or considered pretenders to the throne.
Julian just walking in announcing himself as a noble with the name 'Stuart' [especially with THAT francophone
spelling of "Stewart" which the royal family adopted around the time of Mary, Queen of Scots] would have created
all kind of suspicions about his family ties and his loyalties. [The disgruntled Stuart claimants to the throne were at that time exiled on the continent].
Since you were going for realism, I just wanted to mention that.
Otherwise, it was interesting. I'll give you an A for the concept.
I love period pieces.

The idea of having the two inventors go back to the past is so exciting. They would be able to do anything with their knowledge. i can just imagine if they were to modernize their cottage. It is good that Frederick finally learned the truth. I am sure it would have been impossible to keep a secret with those scientists creating their new machine. The story is really great Laevi. I am really enjoying it. Hurray for the sex scenes too. I hope we get some more!

Frederick is so into Julian. It really is like he just found the vital part that was missing from his life. I imagine he is going to be shocked when he discovers the true purpose of the mirror.

Love it Laevi. I am glad that Wentworth is warming up to Julian a little and that Julian is loaded with money. I can't wait to see what happens next

I love it. This story is sweet and haunting at the same time. I think Julian is incredibly brave to jump into the past like that. I like the idea of having the mirror to talk to. He can send his requests to the men on the other side. I wonder if he will be able to travel back to his world with Frederick. Plus he has all this knowledge that the people in the past dont have as yet. It boggles my mind. Another super creative story. I get excited just thinking of the possibilities.
