Letters Sent

Summary:

A series of letters between Alanna and Kel, featuring epistolary smalltalk, not-quite-lecturing, philosophies of correspondence, rambling, honesty, reference to Raoul of Goldenlake in a dress, and gratuitous use of the strikethrough tag. Co-written with the wonderful Kitty Ryan, for the Goldenlake Smackdown.

Notes:

If the letter is from Kel, I wrote it. If the letter is from Alanna, Kit wrote it -- find her on fanfiction.net, where she's known as Kitty Ryan.

Chapter Text

Dear Lioness,

At the risk of sounding obsessed, It was a pleasure to work with you this winter. I feel that I learned so much from you, and to hear that you also admire me... well, I don't really know what to say. Except, thank you.

This post I have now, I'm sure you know, is in the middle of nowhere. It's not the easiest assignment I've ever had, but it's far from the hardest (that honor still goes to the first one, during the Scanran War).

How are things on the opposite side of Tortall? I know that you must be busy with your duties, as I am with mine, and that you have other people to write -- your children, your husband, your father -- as do I. But I think of you, every so often, and wonder if you ever think of me.

Your friend,
Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan
