Yuletidings

For Yuletide, I wrote a crossover between Flatland and A.S. Byatt's Possession, with diagrams. I am very proud of my diagrams.

On the Nature of a Side (2315 words) by UrsulaKohl
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Possession - A. S. Byatt, Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Additional Tags: Crossover, Yuletide, Romantic Friendship, Epistolary, Mathematics, Poetry
Summary:

Once one has uncovered a set of nineteenth-century letters, one is forever an expert upon such discoveries, even if they entail the mathematical fantasia of a person such as Agnes Hart, niece to the famed educator Edwin Abbott Abbott.

You don't need to know Possession to read this, except that it's about academics and Victorian poets, but you should probably read a couple of paragraphs of Flatland, if you're curious.

I really enjoyed this story! (Didn't guess the author beforehand.)

I AM DOWNLOADING THIS STAT

I have loved Flatland ever since my 4th grade math teacher told us about it (and then I searched out a copy the year after, as I couldn't find it right then), and I've read Possession. =D

Yay!

I used to teach Flatland, in a math-for-nonmajors course, so I figured that its appearance on the pinch hit list was fate.

Thank you!
