I had been uncomfortably aware for a while that it made no sense to give ErmegÄrd a necklace with a pendant to be worn under her partlet: the fashion was for chains - sans pendants of any description - to be worn on the outside of one's clothes. But I needed that pendant for the plot and...

...in the writing of it made it small enough that I just now realised it'll fit on a ring instead. *Rings* are in fashion, rings galore -- not quite as flashy as this, but almost, and the Spider won't notice even if Mikkel Ahlefeldt would have.

This will involve some rewriting (eg it will no longer be able to be looped around the Spider's belt) but has bonus symbolism attached.

[I post this here because I'm convinced that if I posted it on rasfc someone would think that I was asking them to solve my problem, and would tell me that it was perfectly okay to write in a pendant if I wanted to. <head-desk> ]

Yes! Actually it occurs to me that it'd be an interesting exercise to take a random scene and pick a random detail and change it, just to see what happens; one can always change it back if it turns out to be worse. But until I actually wrote this change in I had no idea it'd affect so many things.
