Yuletide Fics
These three amazing stories were written for me at Yuletide.
Be as blest as thou can bear by harborshore (Mansfield Park)
Five times Fanny Price said no.
This fic combines Fanny Price with magic - magic that's utterly Fanny's, gentle and quiet and under-the-surface magic that's incredibly powerful when it's needed. Fanny Price shows secret heroism in the magical world. It's a beautifully written story.
The Sky Through The Secret Door by Estirose (Defender's Quest)
Everybody is in danger because of Bakal's mistake, but his heart feels heaviest when he looks at Azra Livbar.
Defender's Quest is a fabulous browser game - it's tower defence crossed with RPG and it's got a fun storyline starring a librarian.
This story takes on one of the best characters in the game (although I kind of think they're all the best) - Bakal, the old monk seeking redemption for unintentionally helping to cause the current apocalypse while he sought to win a war. Once royalty, now a humble monk researching the past and striving to make things right again while struggling with his own death wish, he mentors protagonist Azra on her journey. This fic captures Bakal and his meditations so very on-point. It's the first fic for this fandom and it's such a good one!
Unto the Restless by FireEye (Baldur's Gate)
Irenicus is dead but his evil lives on.
This is a gorgeous dark story with a great premise. The ongoing effects of Irenicus' torture on the Bhaalspawn were chilling and beautifully written here.
