Yuletide reveals

[dolorosa_12]

Now that reveals have happened, I can post what I wrote, as well as the gift I received.

I'd been wondering who wrote my amazing gift, and now I know: it was lirazel! I'd suspected it might have been you from the author's note, and I'm glad to have been right! Thank you so much: it was exactly what I wanted from a Benjamin January fic!

Summary:

It should have been more awkward than it was--it should have been unthinkable--having her lover’s wife here in her parlor. But Chloë had a way of refusing to allow for awkwardness by refusing to acknowledge it, and as she settled herself on the striped silk settee and folded her small gloved hands in her lap, she looked as composed as she did anywhere else Dominique had ever seen her. It gave Dominique rather a dizzy feeling.

Chloë, Dominique, gossip, code-breaking, burglary, and blackmail.

I wrote five fics this year: my main assignment, and four treats.



My assignment was for Pagan Chronicles, and I was delighted that someone else other than me shares this fandom!

With Flames at Their Heels (1915 words) by Dolorosa
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Forgotten Beasts of Eld - Patricia A. McKillip
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sybel (Eld), Maelga (Eld)
Additional Tags: Yuletide Treat
Summary:

Sybel thought about the power she had wielded with Maelga. It was so unlike her own magic, and put to such a different purpose. Her own magic was cold, hard, and unyielding, like the bite of winter ice, or the clear, ringing note of a bell. Maelga's magic was warm, liquid, and burning — reaching outward instead of within.

Maelga and Sybel work magic together.
