Set The Wall Between Us As We Go (5304 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Old Kingdom - Garth Nix
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sabriel (Old Kingdom), Lirael (Old Kingdom), Nicholas Sayre, Prince Sameth
Summary: “Father left many secrets behind when he died,” Sabriel says. “I only wish he had told me of you earlier, I would have liked to have a sister to share my battles with.”
Sabriel and Lirael trying to adjust to each other with a bit of danger at the end. I love both of these women for their self-contained strength and watching them learn about each other was delightful.

Relationships: Alec í Amasa/Seregil í Korit

Relationships: Maree Mallory/Rupert Venables, Roddy Hyde/Nick Mallory
Characters: Roddy Hyde, Nick Mallory, Maree Mallory
Summary: Nick isn't quite all right yet, but it's nothing a little magic and kindness can't fix.
I love sibling relationships in fic and these two are hilarious and wonderful together. It's good to see Nick processing all the crap he's been through during the books, and Maree and Roddy are both perfectly written.

Gorgeous AU stuffed with perfect historical details - two women with the same face, playing with identity in a gloriously realised Moscow. Written for me and I adore it :)
