Fic Rec: The Fire Handler (TSCC, Martin Bedell, PG-13)
Secondary one-off characters are difficult to get right. They are such easy fodder for Mary Sue-ing. No such concern with lithiumdoll's The Fire Handler. It's gritty and desperate, with hope and madness tangled and barely balanced on a knife's edge.
"So Francis, he gets his cloak and he puts it on the water. Gets his staff, ties it to the cloak ... and he sails anyway. He doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, but he sails anyway."
