If I remember correctly, we used to have a fic recommendations thread in the Writer's Circle, and I was surprised to see that we seem to have lost that thread. My thought was, as I searched through my own fic archives, that I had forgotten (le gasp!) some of my own fic, not to mention some of other peoples' fics that I've loved reading! Who doesn't like to revisit a particularly lovely piece, and who doesn't appreciate a short note on one of their older pieces saying how enjoyable their writing still is? So, I thought I'd make a thread to revisit some of these fic. I'd hope that people would bring up fic that is more than a couple of months old, or maybe one that didn't get a lot of recognition the first time around, and maybe a reason for others to revisit it. To start things off in true Roger style, By Cass, Dance with the Night PG-13, 663 words, Summary: Roger's tower is his tomb and Kel can't tell the difference.
Why you should check it out: Roger. Cass's Roger, and her Kel, are so wonderfully written here. It's creepy, their interaction, and I think she got Roger's personality, post-resurrection, spot on. By Muse, Space Cowboy PG, 837 words, Summary: AU: Here be the norm on HMS Askew, of the 17th Adjunct Unit.
Why you should check it out: Because who doesn't love some Evin and Miri shenanigans? In space? With a dash of epic romance and Evin's incorrigible ways?

What a great idea, Muse! I think there may still be one in the Fanworks section, but it's pretty out of date if so. By max, Butterflies and Hurricanes PG, 422 words Summary: Four times Zahir and Faleron don’t end up together. (Character death). Why you should check it out: Gorgeous, poetic writing and interesting what-ifs. Very vivid.

If I remember correctly, we used to have a fic recommendations thread in the Writer's Circle, and I was surprised to see that we seem to have lost that thread. There are individual rec threads (Tortall, Emelan, and PD) in the Fanworks sub-board, but they're fairly old I think. Might be worth a look if anyone's after some good reads, though. By kiz, What Lies In The TowerG, 100 words Summary: Yeah, I have no idea where this came from. I guess a deep seated desire to write Lerant/ambiguous sexuality? Who knows. By PeroxidePirate, The Career of Lerant of Eldorne (The Early Years)PG-13, ~3000 words Summary: It takes a special person to get kicked out of the armed forces -- twice.

by Kit, A Candle to Light Your Honour (link to FFN) Why you should check it out: It's a thorough exploration of Darra Chandler as a character, and Kit gives us her version of Capchen's merchant society. This being one of Kit's fics, it has that indefinable flair for language I've come to expect from her. by sera_dy_Reladnant, The Fall of Dynasties (link to Ao3) Why you should check it out: It's a realistic explanation, more plausible than the canonical ending to TQ, I feel, of what would happen if Dove's rule failed.

By journeycat, Unexpectations PG, 393 words Summary: On Lerant, as he rises in the world, falls in love, and raises a son not his own. Why you should check it out: Do you need a reason other than Lerant? But if you're not me, read for the twist ending. By Griff, Apples to Oranges PG-13, 1035 words Summary: The King, Prime Minister, and Commander of the Own compare apples to oranges. Why you should check it out: Clever and banter-y. I've missed the SotL crew's friendship, and this is a nice return to it.

Thanks for the recommendations, Rosie! I'm currently re-reading the Emelan books so the Circle recs are particularly interesting to me. I haven't read Emelan fic in a long time so those could be great places to start!

Thank you for the rec, Rosie! There’s some gorgeous fic on there, I’ll be adding to my reading list! I’ve read and enjoyed dirgewithoutmusic’s HP fic, it’s stunning, and then I saw they wrote TP fic a few weeks ago and the PoTs fic just brought home all of my affection for it. So good.
