not sure if the Faye realm has winter, but if it did this would be a must for the Nymphs (Asreanthe and Fayrinn especially)

He’s so pretty, his pale skin gives me Dayeliss vibes

Sketch of Renwick, my changeling wizard with his sassy talking book. This book is his arcane focus and is always floating around him or in his hands. Renwick has a thing about being touched so they always have gloves on. Anyway, I love my librarian man.

sybil if her love was more than just superficial, or asreanthe after Arcadius leaves her

“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.”

— Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

Acrisius’ goodbyes

literally every second reaction that Fayrinn and Caspian are gonna have

Worried Sentence Starters

“[Name] - [Name]. Hi. It’s okay. Don’t try to sit up, do you know where you are?”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay, I’m right here, it’s okay.”

“I thought I was going to lose you.”

“You weren’t answering, and I thought -”

“I tried to… our first aid kit was tiny, but I tried.”

“I couldn’t get to you.”

“When I found you, you weren’t breathing.”

“You were dead. They/I had to bring you back.”

“It’s… It’s just really good to see you awake.”

“Call me back when you get this, okay? I’m worried.”

“You asked me to help but I - I couldn’t. I tried. I’m sorry.”

“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”

“Hey, did you see the news about that building collapsing? Weren’t you on that side of town?”

“I missed three calls from you and couldn’t get a hold of you, so I came in person. What’s up?”

“Was it me? Was it because of me?”

“That cough sounds pretty bad.”

“Are you sure you should be doing that so soon? You were hurt.”

“Your body needs time to recover.”

“Should I stay with you?”

“Nobody can get to us out here. We’re on our own.”

Defined how Lystratta killed steal and her children when she married into their family

when people talk about using magic in knitting or crochet, it’s often for protection, healing, or some other kind of blessing. that’s great, i’m working on a piece in that vein right now.

but i think it has great potential for the more baneful side of things too. imagine muttering maledictions into every stitch and having your target voluntarily wear it.

of course there’s the issue of giving it to them without prompting suspicion, if you have an obviously terrible relationship with the target. i think this would be best for someone who has harmed you and doesn’t recognize that, or has harmed someone you care about but thinks they’re on good terms with you. or you could potentially have a third party give it to them.
