Summary
In those days, the war between Dark and Light was ever present, pressing in from all corners. Neither side was in a position to claim anything like a victory, and instead things progressed with an agonising sense of attrition — one human heart turned from the Dark here, one ancient song leading the way to a magical object there. All that could be hoped for was a breath, a pause — a temporary respite.
One of Merriman's earliest quests takes him south, and to the seaside.

With Flames at Their Heels by Dolorosa for lunabee34 (Lorraine)

Summary
Sybel thought about the power she had wielded with Maelga. It was so unlike her own magic, and put to such a different purpose. Her own magic was cold, hard, and unyielding, like the bite of winter ice, or the clear, ringing note of a bell. Maelga's magic was warm, liquid, and burning — reaching outward instead of within.
Maelga and Sybel work magic together.

New perspectives on Chaucer’s Aldris: Editor’s introduction by CenozoicSynapsid for merellia
Fandoms: Legend of Good Women - Geoffrey Chaucer, Beowulf (Poem)

Summary
Feminist readings of Aldris are, of course, some of the most prominent. While some early voices see Aldris as simply assuming a masculine role, Carol Clover’s 1993 “Flyting as gender performance” examines Aldris’s reproach of Earl Roger and his knights...
AU: Chaucer lives four more years and writes a tale about Grendel's mother in his Legend of Good Women. Hundreds of years later, academics are still arguing over the details, because of course they are.
