I loved this! All three of these women are beautifully presented, and the smoking kink fits so well with both plot and character. (That's how I like my kink -- firmly anchored in character, as it is here.) You build up Alice's interest very believably.
I'm a huge sucker for any Amelia fic, too. Dorcas and Alice fit in so well; dykey Dorcas is going to be part of my head canon now.
