Fic: A bargain undone
Jul. 21st, 2024 01:11 pmFic: A Bargain Undone
Fandom: Spinning Silver - Naomi Novik
Rating: G, CNTW
Length:1506 words
Summary: 'There is a question I would ask of your parents,' he said, 'and among my people it is a question that a lord should ask first of them, and so I believe it is in the sunlit world, at least where there is rank. But in your world, you have no rank, and in my world you have given me to know your character, and so I do not think you will be insulted if before I speak to your parents, I speak to you.'
On the day that winter comes and he takes her home, the Staryk King asks, and Miryem gives a different answer.

It's only taken slightly more than a year since I jotted down a complete outline/first draft, and about 2 and a half months since I got the hardback book from the library to check a few things, but this is essentially the AU ending 'fix it by breaking it' mentioned in this DW post. Not that that is anything like the longest time I've had a WIP active!
