A post-reveals rec of two stories I betaed for close friends!

Eight Days of Luke - Diana Wynne Jones

Wayfinding (8318 words) by oliviacirce - David Allard/Luke (Eight Days of Luke), David Allard & Astrid Price

I love Diana Wynne Jones, but I had somehow never read this book. The combo of DWJ having written the original and Olivia writing fic for it was too much to resist, so I bought and raced through the ebook so I could beta this story.

This story starts immediately after the end of the book, and follows David and Loki's friendship for the next several years, as David meets more gods, makes the conscious choice to learn more about Luke's past, and realizes just what Luke means to him and what he's going to do about it. It's a perfect continuation of the themes of the book, a sweet chosen family coming-of-age story about choice and trust and change.

Because I went directly from reading the book to reading the fic, I can tell you that Olivia has an excellent feel for DWJ's voice, the transition from one to the other was nearly seamless.

Lion in Winter

Midwinter Queen (1646 words) by fajrdrako - Eleanor of Aquitaine/Henry Plantagenet

Elizabeth has been writing fic for considerably longer than I've been in fandom, but this is her first yuletide, and I'm so glad I talked her into signing up.

This is a delightful bantery Henry and Eleanor fic, which captures their sharp wits and the way they tangle with and hurt each other, but are nevertheless tied together by the chains of marriage and duty and history and love.
