August recs

[spatz]

I got back in Nine Worlds fandom last month leading up to (and during) my vacation (there is a VERY IMPORTANT vacation in canon, and it's cozy to reread, so it was a great choice), so have some recs! I'm only doing in-depth recs for three stories, more are here.

Jullanar didn’t realize anything was wrong until the newspaper boy yelped in panic, until she was turning back to see the paper Fitzroy was holding on fire, a conflagration held in one hand, his eyes liquid gold with magic and his voice perfectly empty when he said, “No. That can’t be right. There’s been a mistake.”

In which an adventure in progress is thoroughly derailed by news of the presumed death of the Viceroy of Zunidh.

Delicious presumed-dead AU for the landslide in ATFOTS.

A Most Restful Vacation by Quasar

Jemis is invited to attend the investiture of the Viceroy of Zunidh, which promises to be a delightful trip with Almost No Adventures along the way.

So I actually haven't finished the Greenwing & Dart series, but I'm thoroughly spoiled so I went ahead and read this charming AU where Jemis goes to Zunidh and has some Adventures despite best intentions (truly his chaos field is only surpassed by Fitzroy's, bless his heart). Also some Jemis/Perry pining, for a treat.

Under Compulsion by @philomytha (Biggles, gen)

Von Stalhein is forced to accept his orders.

In which Erich subverts being forced into assassinating Biggles in a twisty way, and Biggles responds in his own inimitable style. Just wonderful all around.
