Short Fic Recommendation

I need to do a full 'Currently Reading', I haven't done one in a while, but I'll likely lose the link to this if I don't do it while I remember. sovay made a passing mention to one of her stories in a post and as I'd been meaning to check out her fiction writing (I already admired some poetry) I followed the link. And oh, wow, the language is gorgeous, as is the conceit (which I'll leave her to explain in her own words at the end of the story): "ζῆ καὶ βασιλεύει."

And another: In Winter, set during the Winter War. You might call it a character study of a female sniper, but it's more than that, and again beautifully written.
