an unofficial Yuletide treat! For me!

My writer wrote me a follow up treat, and I am absolutely losing my mind about it.

Warpaint (862 words) by Fells
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Traitor Baru Cormorant - Seth Dickinson
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Baru Cormorant/Tain Hu
Characters: Tain Hu, Baru Cormorant
Additional Tags: Pre-Battle, Kissing, Makeup as Warpaint
Summary:
Baru is no artist but the anticipation of battle and finality, of action, gives her vision. If she could give it a frame she would call it: The Demon Tain Hu.




I mean, I just, look at those tags! It also has this line, which literally made my knees go weak: And Tain Hu lifts her scarred chin from Baru's grasp; and she says, "Make a wolf bitch with blood in her mouth."

The Right Names For Things (1992 words) by Fells
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Traitor Baru Cormorant - Seth Dickinson
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Baru Cormorant/Tain Hu
Characters: Baru Cormorant, Tain Hu
Additional Tags: Missing Scene, Unresolved Emotional Tension
Summary:
Even if Aurdwynn cannot be ruled, it can be sacrificed. That's the way of many precious things.


Baru catalogs things about Tain Hu & Tain Hu tells a story about an osprey. The author nails the ambition that drives them together and the bittersweet dynamic of canon and Baru's fear of everything that might be nice! V. recommended!
