Sutcliff Swap

Jun 10, 2015 22:09

The 2015 round of the
sutcliff_swap is live! It's a bit smaller than previous rounds, but there's a wide range of works and the quality remains very high.

After years & years of requests, I finally received a story about my Silver Branch favourite, Paulinus. It's a beautiful piece of backstory about how he came to meet both Carausius & Phaedrus, that's just like a little slice of canon: Not at all the adventurous kind by Tanaqui.

I wrote for a new-to-me source, The Mark of the Horse Lord...

The Boy with Wolf's Eyes (ao3)
She'd moulded the boy from a snowdrift, so they said, with a wolf's eyes and three drops of bull's blood

I've written a couple of Sutcliff pastiches before and this is attempting something slightly different. It started off edging into horror but
isis, my beta, persuaded me to unpack the overly ambiguous ending, which changes the tone a bit. Interested in whether it works for people!
