A Little Like Fate by jinxed_wood (G)
So... um hi! Sorry for failing this month but real life has been very nasty to me. I have a bunch of recs on this, the last day of November for you. Mostly things that I've read in the past that have stuck with me or have struck me as interesting in some way. I hope at least some of what I rec today bring people some pleasure in reading them.

Why this must be read: I've been on a bit of a historical fic kick lately and this satisfies both my craving for fics about female Immortals and a historical setting. The fic shows Rebecca protecting Amanda even before she becomes her student. With rich, evocative language, jinxed_wood drops us into early-Medieval Normandy and shows just why Rebecca was such an awesome character.
She crossed the room to the table that served as her writing desk in these small quarters, and ignored Anne as she craned her neck to watch. The art of writing was a rare one in these troubled times, the preserve of monks and Lords. It was practically unheard of for a woman to be well versed in letters, even a woman of high status. She dipped her quill in ink, and wrote:
"My Lord,
I have abided in these lands for many years, and I consider them under my protection. Meet me outside the castle walls on the morrow, an hour after dawn, or quit this place, never to return.
Rebecca Horne."
She blew on the paper until it dried and then folded it. A lit candle provided the wax, and she pressed her ring hard into it, as if trying to seal her words indelibly into his mind.
