first rec
as you all know, paperlegends starts posting today! soon we'll all be inundated with more words than we can plausibly get through anytime soon. so let me help you out by pointing to one you should DEFINITELY read, immediately.
I think just about all my favorite writers and friends participated in BB. WOOOO congrats guys! but several people were kind enough to give me sneak previews of their WIPs and let me squee all over them, in a mostly incoherent manner. I've been waiting MONTHS for them to get posted so I could finally share my excitement with everyone else (I'll rec the others as they get posted, but I was too excited to wait any longer).
so here is the first to come out:
On Tethered Wings
by thuri
Rated PG-13
43k words
A dragon lord who doesn't know his power, a prince who doesn't know his heritage, and a broken king who doesn't know their destiny. What will happen, when the dragonriders of Camelot break free their bonds, and their mounts rise up once more?
I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH I CAN'T EVEN. I love thuri's writing so much, and not just because she's practically my best friend. It's such a complete little universe, filled with lore and backstory and details that make it feel real. And it's such a natural fit with the canon verse, an alternate universe that feels totally plausible. The boys both shine, along with many of the side characters (GWAAAAAINE <3). There are a lot of squee-ful moments, and suspenseful ones, and heartbreaking ones. IT MADE ME FEEL THINGS.
I really can't urge you enough, I think you'll all love it.
it was a boring afternoon, ok?
