Candy Hearts Exchange

candyheartsex has been revealed! I can now tell you that I wrote Look for Me By Moonlight an Aymar/Laurent fic for D. K. Broster's The Wounded Name. It's an an extension of the scene near the end of the book where Aymar tells Laurent that he has been piece of a transcendental good fortune and Laurent, swift thick-headed booby, doesn't understand until Aymar exclaims: "Is it nature or art, Laurent, that has made you so thick-headed? You don't know what I mean? Well, go and stand in front of your looking-glass, and perhaps it will dawn upon you!"

I tried to make their love confessions as gloriously OTT as everything else in the book, and may not have quite scaled those Olympian heights, but Laurent does get to kiss the burn scars that Aymar received when the soldiers tortured him to learn Laurent's whereabouts.

I also got FOUR gifts! Truly a bonanza!

There is one David Blaize story, Wandering, Not Lonely, an adorable moment with David Blaize and Frank Maddox hiking together.

Also THREE Queen's Thief gifts, all in one way or another about my boy Costis Ormentidiedes!

to love and to want is a Costis-eye-view of Kamet, a delicious complement to all of Kamet's musing about Costis over the course of the book.

The Fool's Guard features Costis and Irene bonding over their exasperation over Gen's latest mishap. A fool! A fool! And yet they can't help but love him.

And idiot. us is an adorable piece of fanart, featuring Costis & Kamet in the harbor at the end of Thick as Thieves. Their FOREHEADS TOUCHING, my god.

:D I did wonder if that Wounded Name fic was you—the excellent OTT emotions sounded just like how you'd talked about the book...

Haha yes, I did my darndest to make it exactly as OTT as the book. NO restraint! Shoot for the moon! Kiss ALL the scars!

Oh thank you! I LOVED the Costis stories; Costis is just so deliciously Costis, and absolutely I feel he fell down in a dead faint after Attolia hinted that maybe she wanted in on the hot Costis action. But, after all, he lives to serve...
