Yuletide 2009 stories
Once again, I went back to my roots for Yuletide. Many, many thanks to archon-mentha and semielliptical for beta reading.
The Truth of It
Fandom: The Prydain Chronicles
Rating: all ages
Characters: Doli and Gwystyl
Summary: Doli wouldn't say that he MISSED any of his old companions. Still, he couldn't help wondering how they were getting on.
A/N: For isilrandir. Set post-series. 1,590 words. I swear, the actual writing of this story didn't take half as long as trying to figure out which plants were native to Wales and blossomed in the early autumn. That should have been easy. It wasn't. (Humph!) All the same, I do like this story. Doli has ever been one of my favorite characters.
Unlike most of his kindred, he'd dealt directly with mortals, mostly of his own free will. He'd fought alongside them, bled alongside them, shared their sorrows and triumphs.
__________
Knights and Ladies
Fandom: Voltron (Lion Team)
Rating: all ages
Ship: Allura/Keith
Summary: In which our heroine figures out what she wants and goes for it.
A/N: 1,910 words. For lunasky.
Why was she being so timid? She wasn't the girl she used to be, shivering under her blankets in her cave, just listening to ghostly voices out of legends, pretending she could rely on their protection. Here was one of her knights, in the flesh, and here was she, his equal.
