As I said before, I recieved a fantastic yuletide story: Mother Tounge (Earthsea trilogy) by elle_dritch. It's set post-Tehanu, about the women of Earthsea, their lives and hopes.

I wote Tidens ström (Bröderna Lejonhjärta/Brothers Lionheart) for miss M, and had a great time rediscovering the book and writing the story.

Title: You can't lose some blues you ain't never had
Fandom: Avengers
Pairing: Nick Fury/Phil Coulson
Rating: Teen
Word count: 4000

Warnings: none

Summary: For the avengerkink prompt: Coulson/Fury, love came later in life.

The few Coulson/Fury stories I've seen have them being a couple since way back. I love those stories, but I'd really like to see them get together after knowing each other all these years. Up to writer if they had a FWB thing going before or not.

Give me some grumpy, middle-aged falling in love and doing everyday, couple-y things for the first time ever (they are two super-spies who lives for their jobs after all) and finding that this mushy stuff? Is actually pretty ok.
