Fic in a Box is live and yours truly has been immeasurably lucky to receive four (4) (!) stories - two for each of the two extremely rare Sutcliff fandoms that I'm fervently fannish about: A Circlet of Oak Leaves and The Fugitives. I am all aflutter with excitement and gratitude! I've been requesting both of these on different occasions for a while, and it warms my heart beyond words that generous mystery creators made these lovely gifts in these tiny fandoms.
It's a delightful development! ♥ I'm far too excited for words, so without further ado allow me to rec these wonderful stories. Enjoy the sprawling Sutcliffverse!
A Circlet of Oak Leaves, a tale ofmiserable identity porn mistaken identity and undercover battle feats, resentment, retirement, and PTSD in Roman Britain: look at these fics! Personal growth! Feelings! Transformation! Friendship! Horses!!!
