My thanks to.... skree_ratling, for writing a fic that I absolutely 100% love: Once Upon A War. Parts of it won't make sense if you're not familiar with the SCA, but it had me longing for Cooper's Lake by the end of the first paragraph.
And for those who haven't seen it...
Here's my exchange gift to arionrhod, Wedding Bell Blues. If you don't like Bridezillas or extreme snark, don't click...;)
