- post-canon Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell fic, about Arabella and Emma and a trip to Faerie

- much of it told through letters and journal entries

- and the sense of the numinous fits just right into the way it's handled in canon!

- what a good fic. one I will definitely want to return to to reread.
