In a happy confluence of events, I got my Fandom Trumps Hate story just before Yuletide went live, which basically means I got AWESOME in STEREO:


laid my life out before you

Fandom: The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner

This charming story within a story grants us a glimpse of married life for the Queen of Attolia and her new husband. Gen tells a temple story about a man whose love for his lady is not only true, but unassailable. @eponymiad wrote it for me for Fandom Trumps Hate and it is SPLENDID so if you have read any Queen’s Thief, this story is also for you!! 

 

The Defence (or, A Death from Four Angles)

Fandom: Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French

Four couples each hold their own corner of this puzzle, and you won’t be able to make out the picture until the author sets everything in place. This Dublin Murder Squad story is paced kind of like an eye exam: you’ll squint and blink and strain to make things out and then everything will become crystal clear. This is some incredibly accomplished work - not just a clever murder mystery from the inside out, but a story built out of pivotal moments in the relationships of characters we think we already know.
