The Noiselessness of Ling Xiao Long
First Voice: To wear this world of paper, you must firstImagine how the texture fits your form.It wrinkles there, and here’s a dash of red,and over there the shadow of a path. Second Voice: It’s not enough to be a paper doll;No, you must learn to breathe in two, not threeDimensions: forget depth, and think… Continue reading

Calling Spring
So much time alone. Even here in Faerie we are touched by the current human pandemic; our tourism has ceased for the foreseeable future, as we are not a wholly magical set of Realms like the Fantasy Faire, and our tourist base is largely in Realms where travel is heavily controlled. Now, of course, we’re lucky… Continue reading

But that chance meeting… Continue reading

I shall tell you stories, and I shall be so many people. But today, I will let the puppeteer… Continue reading

Bringing Back the Light
These Dark Days will segue soon enough into light. So much work to do, before they’re done. And of course it falls to us magical beings to set the wheels of the Cosmos into motion, because we are the Beings who see those wheels. From the lonely strands of Winter, we weave the roots of… Continue reading

The Other Side of the Forest
This life of dreams will come to an end soon: I feel it, and I fear it. I have wasted my summer, my power, wishing and hoping to be elsewhere, and now… Now Mabon is upon me. I feel Autumn clutching at my heels with every step I walk. And the future looks darker still, but… Continue reading
