FK Fanfic: "Billets Doux"
This LJ retrospective on my FK fanfiction now comes to "Billets Doux," which is one of my few stories that have never yet appeared on FKFic-L, and one of a handful to which no one has ever responded. I wrote it in the winter of 1996, and a friend kindly recruited it for the zine Tojours Lacroix, which came out in 1999.

Recently, I have amused myself by inventing factions that never were. You, I would judge to be a History Buff and a Brabantine.

Which FK4 episode/story is that? I'm sorry, but I don't remember that incident, and I would think that I would... (I'm afraid that I read your FK4 in a bit of a hurry, to get it all read before voting in the "Forsaken Fandom Awards." "A Pure Woman" was my favorite, if I remember correctly.)

:-) That sounds just right. :-)

Ah, I'm sorry. I misremembered the details of the scene. (And I'm the one who wrote it, too!) The letter actually isn't read-at least, not on screen. So the delightful image of LaCroix reading aloud to Nick is inaccurate. However, there is a letter. In fact, there are two: in consecutive episodes.
The episode I was actually thinking of is "The Arcane Art" (the 12th in the season). The scene is in the epilogue.Nick and Natalie are talking, and he says, "It's hard learning to read as an adult." This leads into the flashback: Nick has just received a letter from his mother; and LaCroix orders him to read it to him ( ... )
