Three Weeks for Dreamwidth ficlets

[regshoe]

During the recent 3weeks4dreamwidth festivities, muccamukk posted a series of tarot card-based fanwork prompts, and I wrote a few little stories for these prompts. Here they now are on AO3—two Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell ficlets and one for Flight of the Heron. :) Although JSMN is no longer really one of my main fandoms, it's nice to return there occasionally—and the dramatic, fantasy-ish tarot card images were especially well suited to it!

Hmm, the water of the loch on one card design and the house of Ardroy on the other?

There's also the design in the Spanish deck, which looks a bit like vines forming/cradling a heart--I really like this one, it's very fitting too! <3

Aww, I like that one too! And vines, trees, hidden hearts—all very Keith. :)
