Lord of the Rings: Who Shall Gather by afrai

Who Shall Gather (OC | G | 226 words) takes place during the scene in The Return of the King when the anonymous Minas Tirith soldiers march to their doom. The story is haunting and sad. It captures the emotions in that scene so perfectly that this snapshot stayed with me for a long time.

Excerpt:
She knows something is wrong but she doesn't know what it is. Her mother has given her a flower to throw at the men's feet, but she forgets to let go of it when the men ride by, shining and unfamiliar.

Discworld: Curtain Call by afrai

Curtain Call (Death/Vetinari | G | 537 words) is a curtain fic starring Death and Vetinari. Aww, Death is adorable here. And the tone/wording is very similar to the books, which makes it fun to read.

Excerpt:
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE? said Death. He held up a swathe of black cloth dotted with cheerful white bunnies.

Correction: cheerful white bunny skulls.

Vetinari doubted the fabric had existed before Death had walked into the shop, but Death had a way of changing reality around him without even noticing it. It came with the job. Life was strange when you were an anthropomorphic personification.

It was even stranger when you were conducting a relationship with one.

The commentary's fun too.
