rarewomen fics! As aforementioned, I didn’t manage to finish my assignment: I just wasn’t feeling the prompt and I figured someone else would give her a better story. But! I wrote three treats to expiate my guilt.
First, Requiem, a Les Mis story about Eponine and Cosette for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anomilygrace: a canon AU where Marius dies instead of Eponine, and Eponine, pushed by a strange tortuous sense of guilt, goes to tell Cosette, because she knows no one else will think to.
Old blood from Eponine’s clothes smudged Cosette’s blue and white dress. Red and blue and white: the tricolor. A bitter, sobbing laugh burst out of Eponine, so raucous and sad that Cosette raised her head. Perfect Cosette, face blotchy and red. A thread of snot hung from her nose.
“I should go,” said Eponine.
I always feel kind of bad picking favorites...but this is my favorite of the treats I wrote. I'm kind of sad more people won't see it, it being buried pages deep in the Les Mis section.
Maybe I could add more chapters. More people would see it then. It could become an Eponine & Cosette epic! Yes/yes? (Seriously, do you think it would be worthwhile?)
Second: Vendetta, a story for The Borgias. It is about Lucrezia and Sancia and deals with Sancia finding out about the French king killing her brother, and Lucrezia trying to comfort her and also thinking how she would feel if someone killed Cesare.
Sadly, Lucrezia never actually says “If someone hurt Cesare, I would go on a murderous rampage,” but that is pretty much the gist of her feeling.
(Best fic idea ever! Lucrezia Saves Cesare. Possibly while cross-dressing in a scarlet doublet and a black cloak? Definitely carrying a sword. (Perhaps Cesare gave her some sword lessons when she was a little girl.) And Cesare should spend at least a little bit of the story attractively bruised and chained to something, and clearly they should end up fighting the Big Bad together, back to back, and...)
ANYWAY. I was so sorry Sancia disappeared in season 2, because how did she feel about the French invasion of her homeland? And what did she think when she heard that the French king tortured her brother to death! So this is that fic.
And for something completely different: Movie Night, an LBD fic about Lydia and Mary hanging out and trying to pick a movie to watch. Unlike the other fics, with their focus on Misery and Death, this is all sparkles and rainbows and unicorns! Like, literally unicorns. Or at least, discussion of My Little Pony.
Although an LBD fic with literal unicorns would be awesome. Lydia would laugh herself sick when it went right up to Mary and put its head in her lap. Possibly there would be something thematic about slut-shaming and purity of heart etc? Possibly that would be a bit too obvious.
