This one is pretty short -- it's not the one that came up with the next highest number of votes, but I don't feel like going through and formatting Tuesday, so! Susan killing people it is.
The premise for "How High the River Rises" was pretty simple, which is one of the reasons it never went very far. I think the basic idea comes through pretty well at the beginning. Dating on this -- mmm, early Golden Age, probably. Somewhere in the first five years, probably? It doesn't have any particular date markers within the text, so I'm not entirely sure. Writing-wise, it post-dates the beginning of Dust; you can tell by all the econ stuff at the beginning. I think I probably started it in 2010? Maybe 2009, but probably last year. As usual, further notes at the end.

This was seriously just going to go on with Susan sneaking through the castle and killing people, silently. I have no idea why she doesn't just steal a horse and escape. Thus why it never got finished; the whole premise of it was Susan, killing people in the shadows! And that gets old even for me. (And I didn't even finish the last sentence, I added the period on the end of "spanned" as I was formatting it. Er.)
