A Hand over My Mouth, a Hand over the Window (AO3, locked to users)
Tortall, Alex/Thom/Delia (and all permutations), E, 45k
“You’re not Gifted,” Thom blurted, because she wasn’t. Thom wasn’t quite good enough to detect magic on someone, not without closing his eyes and trying rather obviously, but he would have seen the girl in classes if she had the Gift. “Which is why this makes all the more sense,” the girl leaned forward again, eyes twinkling conspiratorially as she gestured between them. “Why what makes sense,” Thom didn’t understand. The back of his neck, likely flushed an unflattering shade of red, itched. “An alliance,” the girl said, like it was obvious. “We can’t sit back and play stupid forever, not if we really want to be respected around here.”
Thom meets Delia in the City of the Gods. They encourage each other's worst impulses, yet somehow, everything changes for the better.
