Rare Male Slash Exchange reveals!

[regshoe]

raremaleslashex has revealed, and I have received this utterly lovely Armadale fic. I had high hopes from the 'Birds' tag, and it does not disappoint—with the ornithology and some really adorable shippiness, this is a lovely Allan/Ozias story and perfectly tailored to me. <3 I do not think the author is anyone I know, so I'm curious to find out their identity!

There's one fic each for Kidnapped and Flight of the Heron in the collection, and I highly recommend both of them! The Kidnapped story has beautiful character voices, a really lovely emotional mood and some excellent happiness for Davie and Alan:

...and I am also curious about the authorship of these two! The Kidnapped one isn't garonne (the recip) or sanguinity (who has already commented); I have a suspicion of who it is, but we'll see. The FotH one I do not know...

[garonne]

When I first read Gie Me a Cannie Hour at E'en I thought it was written by you, actually! Partially because of the use of "says he" and other dialogue tags that you mentioned in your recent DW post *g*

Oh, that's a compliment, thank you :D Hee, it was pretty funny to see that 'says he' when I'd just been writing meta about it!
