I love this movie but don't read a lot of fic for it, probably because I find the movie so enchanting I rarely find fic which captures me in the same way. There's a mood, a breathlessness I'm left with while watching the movie, and this trilogy of fic captures that perfectly well.

"How the Blossoms Grow"
Summary: What has been hushed, as silent as red petals laid in earth, and saved.
(A delightful exploration of homosexuality in this world.)

"All the World to See"
Summary: Beginnings and endings always travel hand in hand.

"Crow on the Cradle"
Summary: Wherein time passes, decisions are made, and consequences are discovered.

These stories are beautiful and together build this incredible world and develop characters which didn't get a lot of time during the movie.

I started this recs list yesterday, and it's slow enough at work today that I'm going to keep reading as much as I can. (We probably should have been closed today--I certainly wish we had been closed today, I'm exhausted.)

First, the story written for me.

A Knight's Tale

"5 Firsts", a gorgeous, heartbreaking, wonderful story about Kate the blacksmith and her relationship with her dead husband and her relationship with Christiana. The scenes between the women are absolutely breathtaking and wonderful, I can't believe how much so. The whole story is terrific, the tone wonderful, the bits of dialogue perfect for the source material. I am filled with so much glee because of this story, and reading it has made me happy.
