Right.

So for acdholmesfest I got this amazing fic:

Title: Upon a Ring
Rating: PG-13
Characters: John Watson/Mary Morstan; past Mary Morstan/Kate Whitney
Warnings: Period-typical and internalized homophobia
Word Count: 5,500
Summary: "I did know a lover before you, but…" My heart hammered in my chest. John nodded once, his expression carefully schooled. "She wasn't a man."

It is great, it is everything I love.

For femslashex I got firstly The Cunning Woman and the Knight-Captain: An increasingly-exasperated healer tries to figure out why a particular knight gets injured so often. which is cute and poetic and has people being competent and flirting.

And then also The Taitaja: A young forest witch wracked with self-doubt is sent to an icy land where she is inadvertently soul-bonded to a fearless warrior. which has snow and witches and a deeply anxious heroine and is going to have soulbonds and age difference, omg.

And I wrote:

Title: Blackbird Claw, Raven Wing
Rating: G
Universe: Original Work
Character(s): Princess/Lady Knight
Summary: Princess Catarina is dismissed to rural seclusion, and makes it her own.
Warnings/Enticements: Femslash (obviously), arranged marriage, fantasy politics
Word Count: 3604

Which a lot of people seem to really like. And I haven't posted original fiction before, so I am excited about that.

Details of my Holmesfest fic after reveals.

An update on The Taitaja: I'm about 9K into the conclusion, but I will need to set it aside to work on a contract job which may eat up most of my time and energy until the end of the year. (I'm hoping it doesn't.) Be assured I will finish (I have a full outline and the closing scene) as soon as the contract work is done.
