Well, yuletide reveals happened so I can say I wrote a fic for azurish for The Squire’s Tales series, which is the Arthurian series of my heart. I read all the books through most of my teen years. (I also had a habit of spending each summer rereading my comfort reads, so I’ve probably read The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf and The Ballad of Sir Dinadan about…seven or eight times each at this point…) 

But this was so much fun to write, and revisit an old favorite series!
