As always happens lately,

sanguinity and I matched. Not that this is in any way a hardship! I wrote a Flight of the Heron fic which was very obviously by me--I scarcely bothered to pretend. I was quite occupied at the time with sowing and pre-cultivating various crops, which of course is something that might also happen at Ardroy. Seeds are light and can go in the mail, which is how I got the idea to include them in an epistolary exchange, but also, I liked the similarities with a long-distance relationship, the way you plan and anticipate and care for your seedling to come to fruition. Thus, artichokes, which take a lot of nourishment. I also learned the delightful word "melonry" in an 18th century gardening handbook. (Also, I see we are not even bothering any more to put "Character Death Fix" on fics in this fandom...)

sanguinity made more of an effort to be sneaky, writing in a new fandom! I nevertheless guessed it was her, partly from the likelihood that we would match, but also from the style and the one nautical metaphor she no doubt couldn't help put in it. But I really appreciated it--I didn't think that request would be filled, let alone with such a lovely story! I haven't been reading much lately, and it's been a while since I felt such sheer enjoyment in it. Do go read it! Also, there is now a bonus prequel.
