Fic Corner 2014: Written for me (Night World x2!)

[graycardinal]

Double pleasure this time around; I have a story and a treat, both from L. J. Smith's Night World  series.

Rating: G
Length: ~1100 words
Characters: Raksha Keller, Galen Drache (Galen/Raksha)
Warnings: none
Tags: AU, first meetings, spies & secret agents

Agent Raksha Keller has been assigned a new partner. She is not impressed.

This is mildly AU, treating the Night World as spy/intrigue fare with a first meeting between Our Heroes that hits all the right notes.  Fun yet nuanced, and quite well executed.

Characters: Aradia, Maggie Neely, Delos, Raksha Keller
Warnings: none

Aradia is not used to down-time.
 

And this is a shorter piece, a thoughtful and perceptive character snapshot of Aradia -- a secondary but important character who turns up in the last couple of Night World books.

I'm very happy with both stories, and especially grateful to have both an "official" story and a treat from the same talented writer.  That's beyond the call of duty for sure, and very much appreciated.
