Fic Rec | All Souls Night
Summary | All Souls Night was a night of magic, when the veils between worlds were their thinnest. It was a time of magic and fertility and all things unusual. Princess Emma meets a strange woman around the fires and finds herself ensnared in a lustful trap she's not sure she wants to escape with a beauty whose face she has never seen.
For Reasons | i do have a few recs overdue, but having caught up on this recently, i figured to start with this.
what i love in this fic, without giving too much away, is even with the pairing established early on, you will definitely find yourself looking forward to the next chapters. often than not, i believe it's exactly what kills an SQ fic, how they go from zero rapport to madly passionately in love scale in millisecond.
It is no secret for people who follow this blog, at least i think, that i favor fics set in FTL more. More than ever, I do think it is challenging to word and describe the intricacies of the Fairy Tale Land, the Enchanted Forest, etc and the liberties one can take in that verse. At the same time balancing it and keeping the core of their personalities in an AU verse.
so, i've caught up now to chapter 9 and i cannot wait to read what happens when Emma gets wind of what just transpired :)
