In the midst of this sea and on the edge of this desert.

 femslashex  reveals were this week! I feel so lucky, I got such a wonderful fic, exactly what I was hoping for in fact!! 

Lights Earth With Her Silver is a Bletchley Circle fic by scintilla10 that focuses on Jean just after the conclusion of the season as she goes back to her life after all the excitement of reuniting with the Bletchley girls to solve the case. I love how it starts with that slightly weird city thing where you live intimately with total strangers whose lives you overhear through thin walls. I love how it takes that loneliness, combined with the loneliness of something ending, and secrets you are unable to share, and then gently opens Jean's life back up, showing her how her neighbour could be just as ready to share something new as Jean is. It's truly gorgeous! The OC is beautifully rendered and the tone is just so, so lovely. <333333333333

In return, I wrote Slowly, You Cleave To Her for AO3 user Aoife. It's a Vorkosigan Saga fic about Kareen Vorbarra and Alys Vorpatril. It charts their relationship from Alys's wedding to Gregor's. I had a lot of fun pairing these two up and thinking about how they would support each other and how their friendship could develop into something more.

I plan to give lots more of the femslashex fics a read so I hope I will be back with lots more recs!
