More stories! All is well

Don't have to know canon for these two stories, because I didn't, except for Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea), and I don't think that's needed either. Both of these made me smile.

An Occasion On Which Yudah Cohen Was, Shockingly, Not Required To Meddle by [archiveofourown.org profile] whetherwoman. Yudah Cohen Series - Rebecca Fraimow. Wonderfully told Jewish folktale.

The Place of Birds by [archiveofourown.org profile] Vaznetti. Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin, Piranesi - Susanna Clarke. Great opening line, and the story carries forward with wonderfully drawn textures, of both the environment and the person experiencing it.

Both via [personal profile] shadaras

Also, The White Ladies of the Ring by [archiveofourown.org profile] Luzula. Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin. Helpful to know canon for this one, although it's probably still a sweet read without knowing. "There was a sorcerer imprisoned in the Labyrinth, and Arha had told Kossil that she would kill him—but she did not want to. Perhaps she needed to ask someone for help..."

To join in the theme of "all is well," it's been a week for finding things. I moved into this place a year and a half ago, and it's not that big, and I generally have a good memory for where I put things. But some things had just vanished. I figured maybe I got rid of them or gave them away without remembering?
