By the Mire of Whispers, I Learned False from True

From Friðrós: This dream came to me of Mire of Whispers. I do not have many prophetic dreams, so I went there again to settle myself and dream in the Realm itself. Now, I fell asleep on the great flat stone, inside a comfortable sleeping bag, with a pillow under my head. But I woke 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

The Storyteller of Shimmering Fen

From Gwyneth: Some Faires, this doesn’t happen, but most it does. I’ll be in a Realm, and I’ll meet one of the inhabitants and learn their stories, or I’ll just get a strong feeling about something, and then for a few hours I am suffused with the essence, not of that person, but of someone Continue reading

Autumn Reminiscence
I miss my Gran. Of all the people in my (adoptive) English/Welsh family, it’s her I’d really like to talk to. Because she’s the one who knows how it all happened, I’m sure of it. She handled the deal with the Sidhe, she arranged the “private” adoption for my London parents. And that means she might know Continue reading
