“Splash? A splash effect?” Lina blinked. “I – oh, like ripples?”
“Something like that,” Jackson agreed. “I don’t know enough magical physics-”
“I didn’t even know magical physics was a thing,” she cut in.
“Well, to be fair,” Ethan put in, “did you know magic was a thing, like, a week ago?” Continue reading
You’d think they’d practiced it, the way they moved to the bus. Lina’s dad smiled at them and hugged her one-armed. “You made it. Some people here said there was some inter-Organization difficulty-?”
“My aunts.” Ethan made a face. “They were, ah, pushing people to do something else, or to, at least, push us to do something else. They’re, I don’t know. Maybe they’re still waiting for the Old Wise Sage who’s going to save us.” Continue reading
First: A beginning of a story which obnoxiously cuts off just before the description,
Previous: In Which Amrit Takes a Run.
Please note: there are two chapters after “in which they stop kissing…” which have been deprecated. This re-write begins from Amrit and Mieve ending up in bed.
This is another commission from @Momerath@wandering.shop for another chapter of Beekeeper, (there’s one more of about the same length coming, too). Thank you so much to Momerath for your patience!
This story is a follow-up to the sixth one to my Squish-Squash, Pumpkins and Gourds Prompt Call.
This story is Fae Apoc, BeeKeeper – it is set before the Beekeeper series. The unnamed guy in this story is Amrit, and Roger is the sausage vendor.

There were often strangers at their market.
That was why they’d set it up where they had – the highway might not be quite the hub of traffic it once had, but it was still a broad, easy way for people to move, and they still used it (once Roger and the others had cleared out enough cars to make 2 lanes passible again). Continue reading
Curry is a character in Addergoole: Year 9. This is set – well, it’s got to be an AU which I didn’t think about until I’d finished writing it, or rather, until I started posting it.
This is set in 2021 or thereabouts, which means it can’t happen the way I wrote it, because it is set 10 years after the apocalypse. No Victoria’s Secret Angels in 2021 in Fae Apoc.
But enjoy it anyway as a look into Curry.

“You’re.. thirty.”
“Thirty-four.” Curry shifted. He had kids that were older than he’d been when he’d – when – when he’d seeded.
Which was enough time to figure out a few things, he supposed.
He cleared his throat. He’d thought this would be the right sort of person to talk to. He’d called back to Addergoole and they’d suggested this woman as someone he could talk to about everything. Continue reading
This story comes from my Squish-Squash, Pumpkins and Gourds Prompt Call and is a follow-up to Heirloom Gourds. Brett and Enid were mentioned and present in Exhaustion.
Aunt Family.
🎃
As with most good things, Cordelia found she couldn’t leave well enough alone when it came to her neighbor with the amazing squash.
More so when, over the short, decorative fence, she could see that her new neighbor Millie was having victors. Continue reading
First: Purchased: Negotiation
💰
“This is what you have in mind? You picked this out all by yourself?”
Leander tensed, because Melody’s tone was the sort of thing she could get away with taking with him, but she wasn’t talking to him, she was talking to Sylviane, and whether or not Leander liked the tone — he didn’t, people shouldn’t talk to her like that — Sylviane wasn’t likely to put up with it.
Was she?
“I’m not twelve.” Sylviane huffed quietly. “Yes. I picked out these options all by myself, Melody. The tux for Leander —”
“Rather plain, isn’t it?” Continue reading
Ethan glared at Lina and Jackson. “I mean it. Stop beating yourself up. We slept, yeah, and now – this time.” He took a deep breath. “This time, we know what we’re going into, and we can call a taxi, rent a limo if we have to, and we won’t need as much sleep, because we won’t have just stopped that riot and then the end of the world. Just the end of the world,” he added, trailing off on that happy note. Continue reading
Fae Apoc, early on in the apoc.
If you’d like a good sense of the Fae Apoc, check out faeapoclive.tumblr.com – a site on which I posted news articles of the beginning of the Faerie Apocalypse.
To know enough to read this story: there are godlike creatures attacking the cities, and there are fae – including young fae, 20-somethings – who were born on earth and lived like humans until their teens.

This was written just because of that idea, that might-or-not-be-a-Mr. Rogers-quote, the one that is the end of the Look for the Helpers quote – if you’re an adult, Be the Helpers.
I started this June 12 this year. It’s taken me a while to finish!

“-and down on Court Street, you can see that the Banner Building has collapsed. We don’t know how many people are still alive on the other side of the devastation; all communication seems to be down.”
The local reporter looked tired; more than tired, she looked desperate. The first building going down could’ve been coincidence, but now a four-block area of downtown was completely blocked off, and at least some of it had to have been deliberate. Continue reading
This story is the eighth one to my Squish-Squash, Pumpkins and Gourds Prompt Call. It comes pretty much exactly after Lexiconal.
🎃
At least when you were snowed in, you had no shortage of ice packs.
Maddy held one to her face, where she’d gotten in the cross-slapping of swinging dictionaries. Continue reading
