How DaisyMer Ruined My Birthday
Short Stories By Fia I’m Fia, and I spend my summers in Ireland with my family, and that means I always get to spend my birthday with my grandparents, which is much better than being back in stuffy old Rome with my parents, who just don’t understand anything. It was my 30th birthday! Now, when… Continue reading

The “Borrower”
From Lira: It seemed like only moments ago that I walked out of that strange gallery. I was thinking of the Awenian skyline, trying to imagine I was back there, and it seemed a gust of wind came up, and I had that dizzying feeling I am learning to associate with portal travel and Realm-hopping.… Continue reading

A Grand Sight
From Lira: This Realm-hopping lark is becoming addictive. And it’s easy, as with most things, for me to lose focus and stop thinking about getting back to Awenia or finding HFM. Recently, I’ve started to wonder what makes it all work. And, wouldn’t you know it, I found myself in a gallery room, the sort… Continue reading

Paradox
From Lira: Sometimes I think I’m losing my mind, which is weird, because my mind is really all I have. It’s all I’m good at. One minute, I was trying to hone this “second sight” thing, and then with no warning, I found myself in some kind of tunnel. Well, not exactly a tunnel. I… Continue reading

A Fool’s Journey?
From Lira: After I remembered HFM Gwyneth’s collection of tarot cards, I couldn’t get divination off my mind. So I did what any self-respecting Chimerical Librarian would do: I looked it up on the internet. Cross-checking with terms like “sorcery” and “wizard”, I came up with quite a lot of pictures of different printings of… Continue reading

Is this a lark, or a lapse?
From Lira: I was able to mop some tech from one of the libraries, so I am now outfitted with an old iPhone 14, a decent pair of over-ear headphones, and an iPad with a keyboard. Don’t know why I grabbed the iPad except that it was there, and it had a keyboard and nobody… Continue reading

Things Change. Things Do The Other Thing, Too.
From Lira: Look. I didn’t ask to get dropped out of a portal transfer from the Great Fantasy Faire and into this weird place the locals called The Space Between. I didn’t. And you know the worst part? It was awful. Like, full of things that bit you. And everybody said you could never get… Continue reading

Waiting.
The signs were clear. Now, in this cloudy dusk, I can’t see the stars at all, but on a clear night, not so long ago, the signs were clear. With night rolling in, and the sgraffito sky making it all feel like celluloid, time seems to slow. Even Good Witches (OK, Not-So-Good Witches) can’t have… Continue reading

The Dark
From Gwyneth: Look. I think I told you earlier that The Author is going through it a bit. Now, sometimes her moods and life situations don’t affect me all that much. I guess it depends on how world-shaking the whole experience is. But this one, well. The upshot is she’s in such a funk she… Continue reading

Enchanted at Midsummer Enchantment
And I wasn’t sure why it was a sad day, except of course for all the reasons why I was sure why it was a sad day. I’d run out of books to read, for one. I hadn’t had my hooves done in days, for two. And because things always have to come in threes… Continue reading
