Story: The Life That I Have
Author: athousandwinds
Fandom: The Chronicles of Chrestomanci
Genre: Drama, romance
Pairing/Character: Millie/Christopher, Conrad
Summary: Conrad witnesses the developing romance between Millie and Christopher.
Squeeing: This just captures the tone of the Chrestomanci series perfectly - it's a good 1POV from Conrad's perspective, which feels very in line with Conrad's Fate. I utterly love the way Christopher is portrayed, along with his interactions with Conrad and Millie. It feels very like a missing chapter in the whole tale.
Excerpt: "My driving is flawless, Jason will tell you so. I can get her back here before afternoon tea."
"I won't," Jason said indignantly, because Christopher's driving was awful and we all knew it. He drove like he did magic, all slapdash and irritation. He was secretly very careful when he did magic - he only pretended it was easy - but no one had ever stayed in a car with him long enough to decide whether it was the same there.
