Deadwinter Warmth

by Asidian

In the noble houses, Midwinter is a time of alliances, and Astarion knows better than anyone what that means.It means that Cazador will dress him in silks that do nothing to keep out the cold – red and black, the Szarr family colors – and off they’ll go in a carriage pulled by horses that shy away from their undead passengers.Over the next tenday, they’ll pay visits to the Hollhollyn estate, and the Bormul manor, and that frigid wreck of a tower Lord Petric Amber insists on using to host his galas. Astarion will smile and flirt and bat his lashes; he’ll stand in the corner and play the harp as Cazador has bid him, eyes demurely downcast and fingers going numb from the cold, knowing that every missed note will mean a broken bone later the same evening.

The Holly King

by eyra

He assumed, the first winter, that it was simply Remus, doing something brilliant again; whispering some old forgotten words and waving a hand so that Sirius's might stay warm in the snow, but when asked Remus insisted that no, he'd done nothing, and in truth he too had noted the relative comfort with which they'd weathered that first winter together, and how much warmer the cottage seemed for having Sirius there, and how the blackberries from the bramble up the trail tasted that much sweeter than last year.

Uprooted - Naomi Novik

A Midwinter’s Tale Doesn’t Usually Include Dragons

by AWizardWithoutHerStaff

‘What are you doing?’ he hissed furiously. ‘Is that— is that snow?! Is it snowing inside, you unbearable lunatic?’ Ok, ok, I know it's May but... no, I've got no reason for this. I read the part of Uprooted where Agnieszka is sad about Midwinter and then I accidentally wrote this. OH WELL. This is set after Uprooted ends, where Agnieszka and Sarkan are together, and she makes him endure a Midwinter's Day. It's nothing but a festive holiday special for Uprooted, and I am not sorry (did I mention it's May?). This is just joy and happiness, and I hope it makes someone else happy in these difficult times. Stay safe out there. As always, the characters and setting belong to the incredible Naomi Novik.
