Happy Galentine's Day

Feb 13, 2011 11:06

Not so relevant to this post, except that it's a story about a woman who is awesome: against my better judgment I got antsy and posted fic on a Saturday evening, even though we all know that's a bad time to do these things if you want anyone to see it. So in case you're interested and missed it, A Fairer House than Prose (or on DW) is my long- ( Read more... )

um, this is actually the hand-kissing ficlet? not sure what happened there... pellucid February 14 2011, 02:35:04 UTC

Eddis spent part of each morning watching her mountain. Each night it dissolved into flame, so every morning she reminded herself it was still there-for now. When the weather permitted, she spent her morning time with the mountain walking in the garden, and it was there that the magus found her with his news ( ... )

I was just wandering by to see if you'd added anything in the last few hours, and here this is, just . . . *flappy hands*

Eddis! And the magus! Who have responsibilities and political lives bigger than themselves, who barely dare to imagine a world where their own desires are possible. Who love each other, in their own ways.

But mostly, though, Eddis! Eddis, who understands so well what it means to be queen, who hopes for someone she can like and respect, who will put herself through almost anything to save her people. I adore Eddis, the thoughtful queen, and this is just a lovely snapshot of her.

Sorry if I'm rambling incoherently. I just adore this.

Aw, yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I tried several different times to write this a few weeks ago, and it just didn't happen, and then suddenly tonight there it was--even though it's not really what I thought I'd write for Chaila's prompt.

And oh, Eddis!!! I do love her tremendously!

Thank you! I am tremendously fond of Eddis and more than a little inclined to pair her with the magus (if with anyone). :)

Clearly the psychic link is working particularly well or something. :P

And I'm so pleased you like it! I do love the way that Eddis is a more thoughtful, quiet strategist than Attolia, though I think it's the luxury of her situation that has made her so. Attolia has never had room to breathe, much less to take her time with her plans; she's always fighting for her life in a way that Eddis has never had to. And oh, Eddis and the magus! (I find I rather want to know his name, but neither do I want to make one up.) It's not that I feel particularly strongly about them, but I am quite fond of them and wonder whether things could ever have gone differently for them.
