Summary: Miriam was elbow-deep in the water purification system when Elisheva came running. "Abba says I have to but I don't want to!"

Summary: Zeresh and Vashti have a chat.

Reccer's Notes: Vashti's place in lore is The Original Bitch like you wouldn't believe (she's the one who had to be banished out of the picture to make room for Our Heroine, after all), and Zeresh has an even worse rep, being married to the villain of the piece. Vashti is also, in more contemporary readings, the feminist icon - the woman who decided to tell her powerful husband exactly what she thinks because no, really, she'd be better off without him.

So here, have Vashti and Zeresh be shrewd BFFs - with bonus graffiti on the palace walls and Esther joining in on the fun because no, really, they're all very clear on whose side they really are, here.

Summary: On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

Reccer's Notes: Crowley and Aziraphale as the two scribes, scheming and dividing up the victories. Bonus art.

Summary: "Afoot Sisera fled to the tent of Yael Hever's wife, for there was peace between King Yavin of Hatzor and the House of Hever the Kanite.
And Yael went to greet Sisera and told him: Here, my lord, come to me; fear not. And he turned into her tent and she covered him with a blanket.
[...]
And Yael Hever's wife took a tent's stake and a hammer in her hand and quietly went to him, and she struck the stake through his temple all the way to the ground; and he had been asleep and exhausted, and so died."
- Judges 4:17-18, 21

Reccer's Notes: A “sequel” to At Her Feet, but both stand alone. Another glimpse into the life of Yael the Vampire Hunter.

Summary: "Blessed among women be Yael, wife of Heber the Kanite, blessed among all women in the tent.
He asked for water, milk she gave; a lord's dish of butter she offered.
She put her hand to the stake, and her right to the hammer; and she struck him down, she smote Sisera, smote off his head, stricken and pierced through his temple.
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down to sleep: at her feet he bowed, he fell, and where he bowed there he was felled dead."
- Judges 5:24-27

Reccer's Notes: Yael the Vampire Hunter; a retelling of her story. This fic has a fantastic voice and depth to it.

Reccer's Notes: Fusion; a Temeraire retelling of the story of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Dragons and riddles and smart people. (Single story presented in three parts because of
