Dans le Défit de la Coutume

My main fantasy featuring Abishag Shaw involves a bathtub, soap, and lots of scrubbing, and it's just possible that this comes across in the story. (note: fic takes place at the end of Wet Grave).

Wow. You actually managed to make January/Shaw slash plausible- I'm impressed. You really captured their voices too. And I love the description of the mud.

I hope you don't mind if I rec this? (And much as I enjoyed this, I also hope that you actually did get some sleep last night, too)

Um, four hours, maybe?

Doing Shaw's voice was fun. I'd forgotten how entertaining writing dialect can be (the hard part was trying to keep him from sounding like Vin).

He does sound just a bit like Vin, doesn't he?
