A Squire with Prospects (M-15/R)
Hello there children, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
boosette and I'll be your driver for Tamora Pierce fandom again this month!
Fandom: TAMORA PIERCE (TORTALL)
Pairing: Alan(na)/Jon, Alanna/George, Alan(na) & Gary, Gary & Raoul
Length: ≈7,000 words
Author on LJ:ineptshieldmaid
Author Website: n/a
Why this must be read:
Oh, where to start!
This is one of those stories you didn't need know you needed to read until you've read it. It takes the gender issues and the queer issues and the "these books need more Gary" issues present in Song of the Lioness and addresses them in a truly lovely, thoughtful way.
The story's plot really is emotional rather than action, with the events of the SotL quartet threading through the background in a subtle, quiet way that makes you wonder howineptshieldmaid makes it look so easy, especially with how it grows outward into the time between Alanna's books and Daine's - that neglected part of Tortallan history all of us want to read about and yet that so few fics delve into successfully.
This story is so much more than merely "successful".
