Summary
This story takes place between The Curse of the Thirty Denarii and The Atlantis Mystery, when Colonel Olrik is rebuilding his career as a professional criminal after the devastating events of The Yellow Mark and the fallout that ensued. In The Last Swordfish Blake was clear that he didn't want to publicize Olrik's part in the events, but why? It's my theory that he doesn't get a lot of press until The Affair of the Necklace, and that there aren't a lot of press photographs surviving in archives. Olrik has also taken steps to make sure police agencies "lose" his fingerprints and records.

Flickers by Blackpenny for latin_cat, darkrogue (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse)
Fandoms: Blake et Mortimer | Blake and Mortimer

Tags
Summary
Colonel Olrik survived the events of Professor Sato's Three Formulae, changed his identity a few more times, and reinvented himself in the United States as an arms dealer under the name Ivan Ostrovsky. This story is part of darkrogue's Project Faust universe and a predecessor to my Erik stories, all having the theme of rebirth and reinvention in common. Flickers was inspired by The Fiancee of Dr. Septimus, a short, illustrated novel adjacent to the Blake and Mortimer comics.

A Look Ahead by Blackpenny for darkrogue (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse), latin_cat
Fandoms: Blake et Mortimer | Blake and Mortimer
18 May 2021
Tags
Summary
I spent ten months writing Erik, a novel-length piece that emerged from darkrogue's excellent Project Faust series. As I wrote it became both a look at what reincarnation would be if one's memories were intact, and an exercise in wishful thinking. Erik leaves the de-aged Colonel Olrik resolved to learn from past mistakes and make a few new ones as he attempts to live within society and use laws and conventions to benefit himself. Naturally, I kept thinking about the future beyond the story, and the result is a series of snippets, mostly fluff.

Erik by Blackpenny for darkrogue (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse), latin_cat
Fandoms: Blake et Mortimer | Blake and Mortimer
16 May 2021
Tags
Summary
This is a continuation of What Goes Around, which was itself inspired by the Project Faust series. What we have here is a fanfic of a fanfic with an age regression theme. "Ivan Ostrovsky" (the former Colonel Olrik) has undergone the Sato rejuvenation process and finds himself in a ridiculous situation. This won't be too much of a "cute kid" fit, because Olrik was never one of those, but I want to explore second chances, nature vs. nurture, and the mind body connection in my own silly way.
Big thanks to darkrogue1 (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse) for support, inspiration, and beta reading. I appreciate you!
EDIT: What was originally a short story is turning out to be a short novel that I'm writing for... maybe three people? If you're one of the three, feel free to ask for a specific shout out in the comments. I'm already adding a few. (-:
EDIT: This turned out not to be a *short* novel at all, but now it's done and I'll probably revise and cut some fat at a future date. A note on the chronology: obviously I've made up a lot of details about places and events. There is no Parthenon, Redwing Building or Silver Birch Academy, but they're based on real places. Movies, concerts, moon phases, etc.? All real.

Summary
Fluff? Crack? Pure silliness? I put this in the Blake and Mortimer fandom because it's inspired by characters and discussions about the characters, but it's really a stand-alone story.

Homecoming by Blackpenny for latin_cat, darkrogue1 (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse)
Fandoms: Blake et Mortimer | Blake and Mortimer

Summary
Although there are no named characters in this story, I've placed it within the Blake and Mortimer universe as it's part of my head canon for the main villain of the series, Colonel Olrik. His origins are mysterious and I have no desire to see them explained in canon, so I'm willing to entertain any number of pasts, including this one. All apologies to the ghost of EP Jacobs.
Edited to add an important detail: thanks, latin_cat!

Playing Dressup by Blackpenny for latin_cat, darkrogue (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse)
Fandoms: Blake et Mortimer | Blake and Mortimer
07 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
This is a little bit of fluff concerning Colonel Olrik and his relationship with clothes. There are a lot of costume in-jokes in the Blake and Mortimer books (see Olrik in a Captain Haddock sweater) and sometimes the choices are baffling. This is a companion piece to my unfinished work Erik, which sees a de-aged Colonel Olrik coping with life in American suburbia. Erik is in turn a spin-off of the Project Faust series by darkrogue (Lily_Haydee_Lohdisse).

This is a Lily Sing fic that I drafted long ago, then put on hold when Latin Cat posted her excellent Settling Accounts series. I’ve since updated and finished it but will likely take it down.

Summary
This is a sequel to Emergence. It's something I've been playing with for several months, but was inspired to finish when latin_cat published the first chapter of Settling Accounts. It takes place after the events of The Septimus Wave and features a recurring character I've used in several stories.

What Goes Around by Blackpenny for darkrogue1, latin_cat
Fandoms: Blake et Mortimer | Blake and Mortimer
20 Jun 2019
Tags
Summary
This is a reaction to Project Faust, part of the Blake and Mortimer Universe. The first few chapters chiefly concern original characters, although "Ivan Ostrovsky" is pretty obviously a pseudonym to those familiar with the graphic novels. The plot bunny came when I read about people using natural disasters to commit of cover up crime. I find that the more my head canon divides and multiplies, the more it stands on its own. Thanks to darkrogue1 for her encouragement and assistance.
