Profile
Joa has an enviable way with words and images, but underlying that, she is excellent at portraying different facets of relationships. Easy with fun fics, and able to break your heart with dramatic ones, I've never read a bad fic from her. Explore her profile to your heart's content, but I've picked out a few of her fics to highlight here.
Title: Interlude
Rating: G
Summary: It’s not surprising that Alanna sees you in person to confirm her news. Jon POV, set directly after Lioness Rampant.
Because: Okay, when you click, you'll probably see the reason I chose to rec this. But, more than that, it's that perfect fic you want to tack on to canon and pretend it happened.

Title: The Heroes That Hurt Us

Summary: They say the ones we love most, hurt us the greatest.
Because: It's actually quite a chilling story, and I love the roles Jon and Roger play respectively

Title: No Fires Slumber
Rating: R
Summary: Maybe if Alan had been a girl, you'd all feel better. You'd all like women a whole lot more. Gary/Raoul.
Because: I couldn't get this fic out of my head the first time I read it; achingly complicated and beautiful, and an absolute must-read.

Title: Walking on Air
Rating: G
Summary: Balor's Needle and fears

Title: Coup D'Oiel
Rating: PG
Summary: Cooper stares at him, willing him to cower or bend.
Because: Jon vs George, Prince vs Rogue, is such an intriguing dynamic, and Joa deals with it beautifully.

Title: Good Knights
Rating: G
Summary: A good knight must face his fears. Guest appearance by Delia the Spider.
