the irony of naomi novik’s books having very little fic on ao3 does not escape me. it does however annoy me a great deal
#rereading uprooted and WHERE is the Kasia gets taken instead fic. WHERE#god okay because look. i think her thing about age gaps is hilarious. i think agnieszka and sarkan is compelling#but agnieszka and kasia is soooooo much more interesting to me. loving someone you hate (but you love more)#and being envious of someone whose life you fear (but you want more)#how do you see the truth of yourself reflected in someone else’s eyes and bear the fact that you are petty and cruel in a thousand ways#how do you go about loving them with wild abandon afterwards. how do you let yourself be loved by them#and I think like. changing the story a little is a way to go about that#and the first part of it is so obvious—kasia gets taken. she is brave and tragic and kind and then marek rapes her and suddenly she’s angry#i think *that’s* a Kasia who would start taking advantage of the library and the laboratory#and I think when Agnieszka came when sarkan was off handling the chimera (because it would be her. it would always be her)#Kasia would grab some potions and come to dvernik to save everyone. and with agnieszka it would work#and THEN you get sarkan getting injured and agnieszka using his spell to get them *all* back to the tower and that’s where the fun begins#but like. god. why hasn’t someone else written it#uprooted
