The Lost Lucarno
Jean/Locke
Jean and Locke in the wake of Chains's death, writing Lucarno fanfic and figuring out some things about themselves. Lovely.
Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Wrede
In Which Morwen Doesn't Do Any Laundry But Does Cast a Spell
Morwen and Cimorene teach a quester a few important lessons about treating kittens well.
Impossible Magic
Cimorene/Mendanbar
This is my second favorite thing in the archive so far. I was so sad when I read the last book to think of Cimorene separated from Mendanbar and all her friends for 16 years (and to think of Mendanbar awake in the dark for all those years just waiting; *shudder*). This is the absolute best, most glorious kind of fix-it fic ever. So well written and true to the canon and such a fantastic way of dealing with the problem. I absolutely love it.
Imperial Radch
Ah, remember me (I used to live for music)
One Esk and music. Really nicely done.
Uprooted
Now Is Found (the Fairest of Roses)
Agnieszka/Sarkon, Agnieszka/Kasia
What happens after the book ends, everyone figuring out how live in this new world without the evil Wood.
Rome
Eurydice
Pullo/Vorenus
Oh, man. This is perfect: Pullo willing to give Vorenus anything he'd take, and Vorenus too in love with his own misery to take much of anything.
Acta Non Verba
Pullo/Eirene
Such a sweet interlude between them made even sweeter by the sorrow that will eventually come.
Ash and Iron
Atia and Servilia from the beginning of their acquaintance to the end; the end of this fic is perfectly Atia.
Friend Servilia
Another look at Atia and Servilia (plus the super hot sexing).
Quid Pro Quo
Vorenus/Mark Antony, Vorenus/Niobe
Vorenus aks Mark Antony for a dispensation to marry Niobe; Mark Antony agrees for a price. Impeccable voices.
