And now for some fic that's not by me!

Estelle Green of Witch Week is such an awesome character. In less competent hands than DWJ's, she would probably have been a minor antagonist, or if on the protagonists' side, then comic relief. She's a solid beta in the social hierarchy, lacking either the charisma of an alpha or any sort of rebellious outsider glamor. She giggles, she copies the silly fads of the more popular girls, she only has to see a handsome man to fall head-over-heels in mooncalf, schoolgirl love. She's also fierce, brave, loyal, and utterly determined--and she has the best grasp of what to do in a crisis of any of the heroes. And this is not despite her previously-mentioned sillinesses, or even because of them, but simply in addition to them. People are complex, and Estelle Green is awesomely complex.

Brush Contact by Wild Iris is the story of what it's like to be Estelle Green during the time leading up to the events in Witch Week. You know how some fics make you go of course? This one made me go of course this is what it's like to be Estelle Green.

Also features bonus awesome Nirupam.

Go, read.
