Arthurian Mythology
Tested By The Flame: Gawain, when his king asks him to fulfill a duty at odds with his chivalrous reputation. Yes, it's conflicting loyalties feudalism angst with beautiful Arthur and Gawain characterization!
Ragnelle's Parting: An even more heartstring-tugging, but beautiful ficlet about Gawain and his wife, at the moment when everything has started to go wrong in Camelot
The Heart That Loveth Me (Every Joyous Word): A series of OT3 fix-its for Lancelot, Arthur, and Guinivere in a series of universes. All are brilliant!
Queen's Thief
flashpoints, like gunpowder: the prohibition-noir AU of Queen of Attolia that you didn't know you needed only because you didn't know it existed. But it does! and you do!
Don Carlos - Schiller
Nocturne: an absolutely beautiful wrenching ghostly-visitation scene as Posa tries -- even beyond the grave -- to save Philippe from his worse self. If you like loyalty-angst and dramatically meaningful shifts in address (and I do), this is probably the best fic in the collection.
