luzulaAs she correctly guessed, I wrote the following fic for sanguinity! I was pretty much expecting her to guess it--the pool of writers is small, and I think it's pretty typical of my style. It's one of those times when an assignment and a deadline makes you produce something you didn't think you had in you. I had of course seen her prompt for Keith & Lachlan fic before, but it didn't spark inspiration for me until I actually was assigned to write it! I'm quite pleased with the result and feel that I now have a better appreciation of Lachlan as a character. It would be interesting with an epilogue where they meet again; perhaps I'll write that at some point. As usual, thanks to regshoe and garonne for beta-reading!
The Marrow of His Heart (12491 words) by Luzula
Fandom: The Jacobite Trilogy | The Flight of the Heron Series - D. K. Broster
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lachlan MacMartin, Keith Windham, Ewen Cameron
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Murder, Revenge, Siblings, Enemies to reluctant allies, War, Minor Character Death
Summary: When Lachlan comes back to the shieling at Beinn Laoigh to find Ewen gone, he must do everything he possibly can to track him down and help him to escape—with the help of an unlikely ally along the way.
I think my second Yuletide fic would be difficult to guess unless you had seen and remembered this comment of mine. I'm glad I managed to finish this old WIP of mine, and it was fun to work in lots of food description, which I know the recipient enjoys and which felt very natural for Penthe. Thanks tocahn for beta-reading!

Summary: There was a sorcerer imprisoned in the Labyrinth, and Arha had told Kossil that she would kill him—but she did not want to. Perhaps she needed to ask someone for help...
As for my gifts, here's who wrote them:
- As I correctly guessed,sanguinity wrote A Precarious Position.
- As I correctly guessed,regshoe wrote A Happy Disguise.
- As I correctly guessed,garonne wrote A Dark and Draughty Scottish Castle.
- As I sort of guessed but did not dare to commit to (would she really give me TWO gifts? yes, apparently she would!)sanguinity wrote Talebearers.
- As a fan of Sutcliff and Jacobite fandoms, I thoughtverecunda might possibly have written Joy Enough for the Both of Us? But no, it was ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
tryfanstone, whom I don't know, but whose fic I have enjoyed before!
- I refrained from guessing on the last one, butPerfectlySteadfast, whom I don't know, wrote Our Set.
This was SUCH a good Yuletide for me, possibly my best haul ever, though honestly the last couple of years have all been great! Thank you! <3 <3 *clutches stories to chest* (Also, is there any way I can see who was my assigned writer?)

Date: 2024-01-01 04:32 pm (UTC)Oh, an epilogue between Lachlan and Keith would be fun! Especially since this 'verse is currently on track for both of them surviving part five!
Heh, seeing that the audience for Heron OT3 is so small, it's more fun to write them as a gift, so I indulged myself and wrote two while I had the oppty. If

I'm pretty sure
