Frozen Statue by Elspeth Elf (R)
Fandom: TAMORA PIERCE (TORTALL)
Pairing: Lady Yolane of Dunlath/Tristan Staghorn

Why this must be read: Disclaimer: I dared her to write it.
Set about a year after the events of Wolf Speaker, this story is all kinds of squicky and it makes me feel all kinds of wrong for loving it. But I do. The framing provides distance from the events of the story in a way that makes it feel half like a Big Fish Story: it can't be true, can it? But the events are shown as well, and it is true. Yolane in her descent into madeness is a thing of beauty.
Also, Elspeth pulls of dialect. Which is rare and awesome.
No snippet because it really has to be taken as a whole.
