The prompt is sacred / ancient sites and/or rituals :)

I'd be interested in reading that story.  If you every come upon it again, please let me know

Turns out there are two AO3-posted pieces analyzing possible SSSS genetics, one published on 2020.08.02 on inheritance of immunity and the other on 2020.08.05 about the genetics of magic-using ability.
My memory had conflated them. The one on magic use posited a polygenic inheritance, with dominant and recessive alleles on all sites; the one on immunity considered one gene, with dominant and recessive alleles.

Thank you.  I shall look

Well here is this week's endeavor.  This started out being for the midsummer prompt, but the cold had its grips in me.  So it has been repurposed

Ha! When I realized the story was set in England, and the protagonist was called Arthur, I knew there would be a reference to the old legends! Bit then the wizard reminded me of the Wanderer...

I was also a wonderer whether this is the end of the Wanderer :) Interesting story! I like seeing other mythologies besides Finnish and Norse in the SSSS setting!

I did/would not "kill off" the wanderer.  He is not mine to kill.  But I used that type of character to be the mentor...

Imagine how would you feel if someone took inspiration from your work... Of course I don't mind! Quite the opposite. I'm very glad about it! :)

Also I noticed the connection, but couldn't be 100% sure before you stated it. And I also didn't feel like you killed the character. Mine and yours merely share something, but definitively are not the same.

BTW, unless my Wanderer learned to swim very well* he would never be able to cross the channel and reach the former UK.

*or to float? or maybe find a boat that could handle his weight? Not that easy... Remember he saying that might go around the Mediterranean to visit the pyramids?

Maybe he could go through the train tunnel under the Channel? Although I’m sure there are evil trolls there.

Really!! Well he beat all of them in his last adventure.  I bet he'd kick butt (Now where would troll butts be?)

I forgot about the Chunnel.

I'll try to find a delicate way to ask him about the location of his butt...  ;D And I also forgot about the chunnel! However I think the british would probably block it in a rash-like situation.

And now I want to write that story! But I'm working on something completely different for this week... The Wanderer will have to wait.

I know it's a bit late, but I did find something suitable for Occupations!

I can't take credit for it: Sol made it, on the Discord. (The underlying photo was mine though.)
