I've spent the past few weeks in a frenzy of chapter revisions, in the churning out of cvs and cover letters, and in the wrangling of reference letter writers. It is not very happy-making. But you know what is a great palate cleanser? Writing 2000k of femslash porn.

Someone requested "Phedre/Ysandre- caning" over at the femslash kinkmeme and I was all too happy to oblige. Because I have always shipped them a little. And while Ysandre the perfect queen kind of bores me, Ysandre the conflicted, contradictory woman whose absolute-power-is-perhaps-starting-to-corrupt-her-a-little is deuced interesting. Before embarking on my most recent dissertation chapter, I also felt the need to express myself by making the pornographies. Have I mentioned my thesis is on celibacy? Let's not read too much into why this makes me feel better.

Title: At the Pleasure of the Queen
Fandom: Kushiel's Legacy
Pairing: Phedre/Ysandre
Summary: After the events of Kushiel's Avatar, Ysandre burns with Kushiel's fire.
