L'Engle fic: How like a winter hath my absence been (Teen)

[hesychasm]

I'm packing up my life to move across an ocean and I re-read some old favorites before they go in a box and instead of finishing up the packing...I write a fic.

Omigoodness, so amazingly lovely!

Am now feeling a little weepy, in a good way, and have intense need to reread about 10 L'Engle novels. *g*

(Also, whoa, just realized it's been, like, at least 25 years since I read A Ring of Endless Light. ::is old::)

[hesychasm]

Yay! Glad it worked for you. Oh, you should so totally reread ALL the L'Engles, especially A Ring of Endless Light. I think I approach that one differently with every re-read, as I get older, but I still love it so much.

This is absolutely gorgeous, and very true to the characters and to L'Engle's style.

[hesychasm]

Woo, thank you! So happy you felt it rang true.

Here via secretsolitaire. Wow. So wonderful. Also makes me want to re-read Ring of Endless Light for the millionth time.

[hesychasm]

Thank you so much! You can never read the book too many times, I think. :D

I really enjoyed these books growing up and so I jumped on this when I saw it recced! It totally didn't disappoint-- you really captured what I enjoyed about Vicky and Adam in the first place. Well done!

Thank you so much! That's great to hear -- they were probably my favorite pairing in all of L'Engle's books so I'm happy you enjoyed this little what-if about them.
