brightknightie: At dawn, a white knight raises her lance (Default)

Here is another of my tiny handful of stories that have not yet appeared on FKFic-L because they belonged to zines.  This one appeared in the charity fanzine Tojours Lacroix, edited and published by Lisa P., conceived by Celeste and Laurie.  I wrote "Whence the Truce" in the summer of 1998, and it's my only fanfiction so far to spawn a sequel ("That Ain't Love").

Re-reading this, I realize that I've set more stories immediately following "Stranger Than Fiction" than at any other canonical moment (besides overriding "Last Knight," of course).  I also see what a Light Cousin I was back then.  And I'm delighted to rediscover my Ghost!Fleur character here; by coincidence, I have a new Ghost!Fleur story underway now.

  •  Title: "Whence the Truce"
  •   Length: ~6,450 words
  •   Date: Published in the charity fanzine Tojours Lacroix (1999)
  •   Rating: G
  •   Summary: Lacroix pieces together what happened after Nick staked him.
  •   Setting: After "Stranger Than Fiction," with flashback to after "Dark Knight, the Second Chapter"
  •   Characters:   Lacroix, Janette, Fleur
  •   Quotation: "Logic could not cut through the shrine he had made of his own wretched loneliness."

Did the list ever generate serious couple faction designations for Lacroix/Janette and Lacroix/Urs?  I think someone wanted to use "Dark Hearts" for Lacroix/Janette for a while, but I don't know whether it caught on.  And was "Lonely Hearts" supposed to be Lacroix/Urs or Vachon/Urs, and what's the name for the other?  It's just something that's been tickling the back of my brain, not quite breaking through.  Lacroix/Janette is rare, but Lacroix/Urs had a period of common assumption.

List of Established Couple Faction Terms )

For the purposes of tagging this LJ, I've been using the couple factions to designate any significant intersection of the two characters.  For example, I'm using the "UF" tag for both Unnamed Faction (Nick/Lacroix) and Cousins of the Knight (Nick-Lacroix) content, and "N&N" for both friendship and romance.
