It's time for our last theme week of the year, so get yourself ready for another Small Fandom Week! I've got a couple of seasonally-appropriate tiny fandom recs that I've been saving and am very eager to share:)

Review:
Set after The Blue Sword, Harry and Corlath share their first winter together. But Damar's winter is three months of solid rain, and even the strongest relationship can crumble under the weight of a quarter-year of confinement.

There is so little Damar fiction out there that I might have recced this even if it wasn't fabulous. Fortunately for us all, this is a beautiful, lyrical story that explores the first test of Harry and Corlath's relationship with spot-on characterization, dreamy prose, and plausible issues for a young couple. I'm especially impressed with stealthmuffin's grasp of Damar -- the winter words, the details of winter life, and the practicalities of living in the City are all wonderfully realized and expressed. A lovely story that will draw you in completely.
