Summary: Written for my very patient and forbearing Secret Santa giftee, twinenigma, who gave me a prompt of a particular version of the ubiquitous Swan Maiden story. It stretched into eight chapters and twenty- eight thousand- plus words... A story woven into the setting of

And I have to say, the research was cursory but fascinating.
