Oh, squee! This is perfect. The dialogue is excellent, and Felicity is just right, especially the touch of smugness at the end. This could easily be a missing scene.
And I love that the magic of the Realms = lesbian attraction, hee!
You're welcome! I'm so glad that you loved it! I'd been hoping I'd get a request for this fandom when I put in my list for the ficathon, but I didn't expect anyone to actually request it, or that I would get a request for it!
I'd been going for a missing scene sort of vibe, so I'm also relieved to hear that it works, and that it's so in character too. Gemma and Felicity are just such a wonderfully complex dynamic, with the two of them switching off on the role of leader and follower of their group, and that kiss in the caves in the book? *dies*

I don't understand why this fandom has not produced REAMS of femslash, seriously (it's produced reams of boring, badly-written Gemma/Kartik).
I'd just read the first book shortly before sending in femslash07 prompts, so I actually need to find the fandom now. (There seem to be no decent LJ comms for that, sadly.)
Re: Gemma/Kartik, I-- Meh. I don't know, maybe it's that Kartik hasn't been fleshed out that much, but he's boring, and Gemma has ten times more chemistry with Felicity, or even Ann, than she does with Kartik. (I don't see Gemma/Pippa, but Felicity/Pippa? Oh, yes.)
I totally didn't expect to get AGATB fic at all, so it was a delightful surprise.Hee! I'd gone to your journal to see if you'd posted a letter to your assigned author-type thing, and I remember you commenting somewhere that you thought you'd been matched according to your major fandom. I have to confess, I had a minute or two of amusement, as I'd actually offered to write three of the fandoms you'd requested, and the only reason I couldn't write Tortall fic was

Read through this again *bored at work* and loved it to pieces all over :) Wait till you finish the second book. I'm going to expect much femslashy goodness after that :)
I swear, some day, I'm going to finish up with vamp!Lizzie, and actually write something else. And finish reading everything I'm in the middle of reading.
How have I never seen this before? I absolutely adore it. Very well-written and I think you've managed to capture both characters really well and with a mind for canon as well.
