Somehow I never read this on ao3. Now, with the current ao3 downtime, I turned to your dreamwidth journal in search for fanfic and found this.
I like the story a lot - I can well imagine Maia's household and family, you paint a very vivid picture for them.
I find it interesting that Idra is on the one hand sensitive and mature enough to discuss implications about their mother, but then resorts to a blunt instrument like letting Ino overhear her suitor's true opinion. Maybe a result of his time away? In any case it makes room for this very beautiful scene with Maia.
I like that university is not the answer for everyone and everything. Especially Ino is interesting, and how her issues do not have a ready-made solution, so she really has to find her own way.
I can really see the picture you paint of this family, of their positions at court but also in relation to each other. Beautifully done.
