Author's Note: Originally for the Omniocular June 2007 'Mentors' Challenge, Prompt #24: Black sisters being taught how to be proper ladies. Title comes from Puccini's Tosca, and translates to 'Concealed harmony'. The duet referenced is Franz Schubert's 'Fantasia in F minor, D940, Op. 103'. Many thanks to
This is fairly short but wonderfully written. The author delved into the lives of the Black Sisters with such a subtle flair and understated elegance that the entire piece feels like a page ripped out of canon. Only better because this author has their shit together. *g* I won't spoil it for you, but I loved how the sisters were tied together through more than just their names, society, and family. Each sister is briefly visited and made "real" to the reader before moving on to the next. The conclusion is breathtakingly gorgeous and rounds out the piece perfectly without being overdone or sappy. It's just how things are done by the Black Sisters.
Go! I urge you to check this wonderful character study fic out and leave the author some love.
