Hello, hello, here's another ficlet for what I happened to be reading/watching/otherwise consuming (that I've been doing sometimes to kickstart me writing again). This one is for a very obscure 1980s standalone fantasy novel, the main other of Louise Cooper's books that I've retained a fondness for - it always felt like there was a lot left to be played with in the setting of Haven, and all its had eroded away from it, but I don't think it's connected to any of her other books or anything.

Anyway, a coda for [community profile] 100fandoms prompt #25 salt:

Saltwater Echoes (631 words) by thisbluespirit
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Mirage - Louise Cooper
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: DiMag/Simorh (Mirage)
Characters: DiMag (Mirage), Simorh (Mirage), Gamora (Mirage)

Summary: Salt is for healing as well as for bitterness.

(I don't imagine it'd make much sense without having read the book, and I'm the only person I've ever met who's read it, so, lol, but nevertheless I always thought there SHOULD be fic, so I can feel accomplished, I suppose!)

Oooh, that sense of loss history really sounds intriguing! I've added it to my to-read list, so maybe I'll stumble across a copy in a shop one day. Thanks!
