If you would like to contact me, I have the same username across all the platforms that I use in a fannish capacity: eccentric_hat on Dreamwidth and AO3, eccentric.hat on Gmail and Discord.
this country of original fire. Emil/Medric drabble: they’re parallel lines.
Finer Points of Enchanted Sword Logistics. Morwen/Telemain: In which a witch and a magician consider alternate methods for saving the king of the Enchanted Forest.
Out of Touch. Cimorene/Mendenbar: a moment in the castle, after the adventure’s been settled. Quadruple drabble.
Hrimforst. On a cold night, at a small house, in an oak grove, two people meet who are far from home.
On the relative importance of hats, horses, and trust among new partners in criminal enterprise. Zelikman has a bad habit of becoming attached to things that can be killed, lost, or stolen.
Drunk History: Birth of the Imperial Radch. Recently, Lieutenant Tisarwat drank a bottle and a half of arrack and decided to talk about a historical event. This is the result.
Service. A pair of drabbles about Jeeves, Bertie, and how they spend their time. (This was my very first fic.)
City of Salt and Time. Post-canon gen fic about the title characters of the novel, set in and around Venice.
The Consolations of Arabella Strange. Post-canon epistolary fic: Arabella travels, writes letters, and finds her way forward. (A story particularly close to my heart, as it took me almost thirteen years to write.)
That Arbitrary Decisions are Preferred to Rational Ones. Companion fic to “Consolations”: a pastiche of the essays of Montaigne.
or hesitate to love. Tennal, Surit, and parents: a single-double-triple drabble sequence.
Unfathomable. Natural processes, as I seem to remember knowing, are generally irreversible.
sheltered from the grasping winds. A few students stay at Eleanor’s school during the winter holidays. Friendships are formed, or they aren’t; homesickness strikes, or it doesn’t; stories have power, but not always the right kind.
Reward. Before, during, and after canon: Peter Lake is thinking about the past.
back to topSpicy Bell Pepper with Thyme. Sometime after the first hunt of the series, the Pine Guard tries to take a day off. It’s a mixed success.
a novelty, a choice. After the world is remade, there’s a lot to find out.
a small live letter that says only Stay. Leon & Michael. It’s important to give advice in the correct way.
back to topWho Could Ask For Anything More? Josefina Gatsy/Misty Moore. An immortal diva starts over; someone new is called to speak for the Dreaming; and in Nod it’s hard to tell the difference between imagination and desire.
Feeling comes in aid of feeling. Thomas/Kitty: Thomas may be a little oblivious to troubles that are not his own, but long acquaintance provides occasions to offer comfort.
where you tend a rose a thistle cannot grow. Alison & Kitty in one of the disused rooms of Button House.
Household Maintenance. Sherlock & John gen. Sherlock knows that John needs to call his sister. He doesn’t necessarily understand why.
Soloist. There are a lot of reasons why a child might not have a soulmark. It might be a simple issue of irregular skin pigmentation, or the mark might arrive late. Or the child might have another kind of soulmate. Usually these things work themselves out. In the meantime, for Minako at least, there’s ballet. (This is one of my personal favorites.)
back to topNever Through Me Shall You Be Overcome. An epilogue to an unfinished D&D campaign, in which I sent my dragonborn cleric character home to figure out what to do with his life and how to relate to his family.
Never Mind the Weasels. Fic for a delightful music video about animals on bikes: Berlin has a lot more cyclists than it used to.
Amazing! This Secret Meeting Between President Nixon and the Apollo 11 Astronauts Was Almost Lost to History. There’s not much more I can say in a summary that will add to the title.
