Title: Midwinter Attractions Rating: PG for mild sexual themes Summary: A bit of Briar/Jory mid-winter fluff. Briar describes his Sunsday; Rosethorn is reluctantly amused. Warnings: None
***** Briar bit into a slice of Kugiskan fruitcake, a present from Jory. “We visited the lighthouse.” He’d been there a dozen times, but this time the chief attractions had been cuddling Jory on the boat, and walking arm in arm up the cliffside to Astrel Lookout’s secret garden.
Rosethorn quirked a half-smile. “If you're going to melt with longing, don't do it all over my new arrangements."
"It's Wolf Moon,” drawled Briar. “Too early to melt. And since when were you all fancy with... impala lilies?"
“They're from Moonstream, for Sandry’s coronation.”
Briar whistled. “What’d she do, mortgage the Hub?”

This fic made me smile and gave me all the warm, fuzzy feelings.
I just loved Briar's interaction with Rosethorn. How she tells him not to melt all over the flowers, and Briar saying it's too early to melt is just perfect.
And the detail of Moonstream providing impala lilies for Sandry's coronation was great as well.
I really like this sliver of life fic.

Thank you so much! I was a bit worried the impala lily detail would be unrealistic, but since Emelan is fairly temperate and we have magic I decided to handwave it. Wherever impala lilies are from in the Emelan ‘verse, maybe it’s tropical.
