For W/J absolutely. Funny thing is that's what I call eeevil child. (Grins and thinks of the eeeevil child's belief in her own wonderfulness!) Lol, she's good at that .

It's also how Thurston Howell III referred to his wife. I'm cracking up thinking of W William using that voice! ROFL! "How was the asylum today Lovey?" ROFLMAO!!!

Weren't they McDreamy and McSteamy on Grey's? I still think Mr and Mrs is uber-sexy for W/J because they have waited SO long to be those titles for each other. There's an adorkable intimacy about it that suits them IMO. Oh yeah, I'm thinking of the Supernatural parody of Grey's Anatomy. I'm not a fan! It's a guilty pleasure!

"Beloved" evokes the Songs of Solomon. They quoted it to each other in Let Us Ask the Maiden. Sounds formal, but I think the idea has merit. You're right. I had forgotten that. My problem though is it's a cumbersome word for something so strongly felt, IMO. To us, it's a bit awkward, but I think to William (and given the Song of Solomon connection and it's eroticism) I think it's one he might very well use. **still toying with the idea of writing Song of Solomon wedding night fic**

He calls her "milady" in season 7, and I've used beloved in a few fics, but I can't see them using anything else. Or I can't see William using anything else-Julia might get pretty cheeky though. "Beloved" evokes the Songs of Solomon. They quoted it to each other in Let Us Ask the Maiden. Sounds formal, but I think the idea has merit. Beloved is a beautiful term of endearment. It's just weird for former Stargate fans, since the evil god-mimicking aliens tended to call their human breeding victims "beloved". I'm warming up to a variation of "Dr. Sexy" if it can be Victorianized in some way.

But can I throw in that William started reading Byron for Julia's sake, too. Might find some honeymoon lines in there...

It wasn't all post-restoration religiousness!

For W/J absolutely. Funny thing is that's what I call eeevil child. I could actually see Julia calling William darling, doubt she will though but I could never see William using that endearment, it's too pretentious. I think it's also patronizing and possessive. (If William uses it). And he might associate it with Darcy. According to the online etymology dictionary "sexy" isn't before 1905, and, if I'm reading correctly, only comes into popular use via the films of Valentino circa 1923. www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sexyRelated term: "Sexful". Dr. Sexful? Naw. So I turned to the thesaurus. Too bad we can't have Dr. Bootylicious in 1902. "Fascinating"? Dr. Delectable ...too many syllables Dr. Desirable? (which might go with a list of Dr. Alluring, Dr. Fascinating, Dr. Charming, etc.) There is a historical term that's kind of fun, though technically it means slut: "bawdy basket" Can we do something with "vixen"? That's up there with CC's "minx" as an affectionate bad girl term. hmm, Dr. Desirable might be as close as I can get to Dr. Sexy...

William is never going to call her anything like that in a million years! Unless you're writing crackfic... Are you writing crackfic?

I just checked and actually Julia liked Shelley. When William first said Post-Restoration poets, the natural thought is Milton...but it could also mean the Earl of Rochester.
