FIC: This is a gift (it comes with a price), Let the Right One In, Eli/Oskar, PG

Title: This is a gift (it comes with a price)

Fandom: Let the Right One In (movieverse)

Pairing: Eli/Oskar

Word Count: 461

Rating: PG - dark themes, but nonexplicit

Warnings: None

Author's Notes: Let the Right One In is such a haunting and beautiful film, with a really... eerie romance at the heart of it, despite terrible things happening around the two children it concerns, if you can call Eli a child. I'm so glad inmemorybound introduced me to it! Crossposted to letherightonein.

For Valentine's Day: a totally kickass fic without any redeeming romantic value!

Today's rec is a Temeraire fic that, instead of focussing on the boys (whom I love dearly), instead looks at Jane Roland and her daughter, and the way their masculine lives change the way they act towards each other and the world. It's a thoughtful piece, without being too internal, and really fleshes out that aspect of the Temeraire universe.

Afternoon's Liberty by Penknife. Extract: Captain and not Mama; well, they're in public, so it's best to be discreet. It's possible too that at Emily's age Captain is the more exalted title.
