( A Lady to Begin With )

Title: "Stacked Deck"
Parts: 0 through 10 of 21
Author: Laylah
Characters: assorted
Rating: worksafe
Word Count: 9x100 and 1x200, 1100 words overall
A/N the first: Credit goes to puella_nerdii for the concept! She mentioned Claire being the Chariot, and I couldn't get the idea of a Baccano! Major Arcana series out of my head.
A/N the second: The Tarot deck I'm most familiar with is the Thoth, which has a few significant differences from the more common Rider-Waite both in name and order of the cards. I've used the Thoth order and names for this set.

I'm not quite brave enough to offer full-blown fic, but events at work have inspired me to drabble a bit. (And oh my, it's tough keeping to 100 words when you're still trying to get a handle on characters. My apologies if any of these folks feel off.)

There's nothing explicit (beyond a kiss), but overly-cautious me wouldn't read this at work for little girls perving over older men (and older men letting them), hints of m/f and m/m, and Tick promising to get creative with his scissors.

5 x 100 words. Also, someday, Carol and Eve need to meet.

Opening post! There's probably no one here yet, so I'll sit tight and see what happens. For the time being, some small drabbles crossposted from my journal:

Draw up a seat, and deal yourself in. A game with the Gandors. 166 words.

New-found immortality has its perks. Claire finds Luck changed, but not necessarily in a bad way. 261 words.
