rosaxx50.livejournal.comFandom Category: Immortals - Tamora Pierce
Pairing: Kalasin of Conté/Kaddar Ghazanoi Iliniat
Fic Title: Lonely at the Top
Author: k4writer02
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1726593/1/Lonely-at-the-Top
Rating/Warning(s): Teen. Mentions of induced miscarriage. Written before TQ, so contradicts some quasi-canon about the Conte family.
Genre: Drama.
WIP?: No. Completed MC.
Why This Must Be Read: During a lonely time, Kalasin Iliniat of Conté, empress of Carthak, receives a visit from her sister the princess Lianne of Conté and her friend Buri.
I don't read baby!fics, as a rule. They're just not my thing. But Lonely at the Top did appeal to me for a great many reasons, starting from an atmosphere that I did not expect, but rings true to me. Kalasin and Kaddar get a single throw-away line mentioning their marriage, in canon, but this author breathes life into the intricacies, push-pulls and yet very present affection and love that they could have. It also includes a dollop of court intrigue and a LOT of wonderful platonic bonding, to round it out. I particularly love that though this story isn't actually focused on romance, the romance is so well done that it becomes a cornerstone of this story.
