Belated Jaime x Brienne Week Speed Fic Recs
Late to the party because work interrupted, but I had this half put together before travel started and wanted to share what I had done, even late and incomplete. Possibly more later, I had at least another five authors ready to discuss.
You can always find more fic talk under my WIP Wishlist and Fic Rec tags.
Combination of days, here are five authors who make me happy and three of their fics that I love.
