    Summary

    I don't understand what this means. It's a mythic story--something out of legend. Out of the Shapers' War. Secret weapons. Masked players who killed a trickster god. I don't know how it fits into everyday life. I don't know how it fits into my kitchen.

    “Are you in trouble?” I ask.

    “What a question,” Bolaire mutters, looking to the side. “Am I in trouble? I suppose I'm not in any new sort of trouble.”

    “So you're in old trouble,” I say.

    “Living as a perpetual lie involves a certain amount of ongoing trouble,” he says. “That's the nature of the beast.”

    Summary

    Since I've been writing a lot of sad things, I decided I wanted to write some fun things for the whole gang!

    After the Sister of The Void ending, a heavily injured Hornet, a confused Hollow, an angry and sad Lace, and tired Shakra, all try to keep their cool when the flea caravan rolls into Bellhart for a festival.

    This fic was also inspired by an artist friend of mine who did some art about food that fleas might have at their parties. You can find them here!

    Summary

    The orbit of the moon, Myrmecar, widens and wobbles. Its shape once birthed a culture inconceivable: a world of arachnids and the strange civilization they wove. But the days grow longer and the temperature drops. In the coming cold, leaves die, egg sacs fail, and Myrmer become caught in their molts.

    In the orbit spins a ship carrying a final hope for this dying world. Cor, a earthling space trucker pretending to serve the interests of the Climatology Guild, lies about the efficacy of their cargo. They lie as much as they hope that this world will not join the growing number blotted out by their adherence to a distant, callous bureaucracy.

    As the moon orbits, the eclipse begins. With it begins an ancient Myrmer mating ritual, witnessed for the first time by one not of their kind. Bathed in eclipse shadows and a growing love for this strange sunset world, Cor faces a ghost from their past and the odd way it resonates with a secret haunting this dying world.
