I enjoyed this a whole lot! I liked the focus on the witches, on their rules and structures, and the AU works well, of course, because people who seek power and how they do so is a universal, isn't it!

Change of Scenery by catchmeifyoucreon for ruffledringdove

Summary
Pwyll is fighting for his life on a disastrous team-bonding trip that he organised. Frustrated by his team and lost in the woods on a rainy winter day, the last thing he expects is to run into a man who claims to be Arawn, the legendary prince of the Welsh otherworld Annwn. Well, actually, maybe the last thing Pwyll expects is to be transported to said otherworld to learn lessons about leadership from Arawn's wife.
Either way, it's shaping up to be a weird day!

This was great. I actually know nothing about the Mabinogion (in fact I was expecting something else, because I was confusing it in my mind with Y Gododdin) but I love faerie-world-switcheroos, especially lighthearted ones like this. I grinned at Eluned rescuing Pwyll, and at him trying to explain that he had both men and women on his staff (and one person who's neither), and at Arawn guessing that lack of "phone signal" might be a good excuse. Well done, I enjoyed this a lot!

Aha, this is great. I love the way you wove the various encryptions (past and present) through the story, like, nothing is ever straightforward with these people. (Though honestly I would drive myself bonkers if I had to figure out anagrams in my head. It still took me a moment to decipher the punchline, and that was short!) I also liked the way things started prosaically and then took a sharp left at Albuquerque with “We staked her through the heart,” she whispered. Lots of fun, well done!

Summary
Velhiro Tomasaran needs: better tea, a better salary, and friends.
Velhiro Tomasaran finds: a ghoul, a smuggler, treasures, adventure of the Imperial kind, a prince, three scholars of history, an Imperial secretary…and friends. Eventually, she even finds (and shares) the tea!
This work takes place directly after The Grief of Stones.
A/N: I did not read Tomb of the Dragons before writing this. Shockingly, some parts of this fic are so thematically in tune with TOTD that I was extremely pleased and surprised. Some parts, of course, are no longer canonical. C'est la vie.

I never get tired of Tomasaran stories! I really liked seeing her coming into her own and making connections with people, and the casefic part was a lot of fun. The idea of a store-room where "gifts the Emperor dislikes but can't refuse" are kept made me grin. I had somewhat forgotten Rohethar, Ormevar, and Parmorin but they were great supporting characters here.

I enjoyed this a lot! It draws on Laura's rescue of Freddie, but is its own thing; Pim's madness and despair are not the same as Freddie's (and she takes her own steps toward her rescue!), and of course Laura's feelings for them are different as well. The language is very like that of the book, slow and descriptive but never overwrought, and of course the structure of alternating POVs echoes the book but takes the characters to different places, real and figurative.
(Also I love that Winter is the one to tell Laura she needs to go, and that they both see ghosts but Freddie doesn't, and that of course Faland's hotel isn't in Belgium: “He is bigger than that. Wider. Older—much older. I think it’s everywhere.”)
