New Recs

[ein_myria]

*looks at lengthy 'to rec' list* Hmm. It's time, I think, to do some recs. I've also done a small update for the Dreamwidth F/F community list due to the influx of tumblr refugees.

Dragon Age
Transfigurations 12:1 by isyche (Leliana/Cassandra)
"Cassandra and Leliana have to ascend the Sunburst Throne together."

Interesting premise, good world building.
Game of Thrones

Keep the Bouquets, Throw Away the Grooms by Netgirl_y2k (Sansa/Margaery)
"The Lannisters meant it as an insult when they arranged the marriage of Sansa Stark to Margaery Tyrell. But is it truly an insult if nobody is insulted?"

The one fic that I think got the wheels turning for a lot of the authors for this pairing...

Those Who Wait by oddcoupler222 (Sansa/Margaery) (note: offline awaiting publication)
"Sansa's ideas for her life were actually fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. In that order and certainly no rush, given that she was barely out of the closet, a little wary from past experiences, and completely hopeless at talking to women. Margaery's plan was much more concrete, with clear steps outlining her path to success and no time or inclination for romance. At least, not for years to come, until her career was well and truly established. Casual and discrete would be just fine with her until then. However, the universe - in the form of a friend and a dating website - has other plans for them."

This one had a fun premise, and the modern translation of the politicking generally came across well.

thoughts of pretty you and me by honey_wheeler (Sansa/various)
"Sansa has missed this, she’s missed soft touches and sweet pleasure and the company of women. She’s missed the heady feeling of power that could only be found in making someone tremble apart with her fingers and tongue."

This one was well written.

Thanks for the recs and the update! I will post a link to the F/F comm list in the community again to give it the attention it deserves! (I realize it's in the sticky post, but I feel like it should get a bump anyway.)
