The Handmaid's Veil, by Alexandra Lynch

[Arthurian legend]

Title: The Handmaid's Veil
Author: Alexandra Lynch [info]alexandralynch
Summary: Love makes people do terrible things to each other.
Characters/Pairing: Tristram, Isolde, Mark, Brangwyna (Isolde's maid)
Rating: R
Warning: dubious consent

Why?

The writing's sparce, but it only makes the story stronger. Love here is only the source of heartache, by running contrary to acceptable norm, to political expectations. A little gem of a story.

Death in the Tuileries, by Dafna Greer

Title: Death in the Tuileries
Author: Dafna Greer [info]dafnagreer
Summary: Paris. 1915. Wimsey and Bunter's first case.
Characters/Pairing: Lord Peter Wimsey, Bunter.
Rating: G

Why?

Because it was written for me, for one thing. And because it's a perfect illustration of Wimsey and Bunter's first meeting. We get a glimpse of their future collaboration, and of Wimsey's desire to do the right thing, regardless of the actual law.
