For origfic bingo: Arc’s lying in bed, humming a lullaby to herself, before she stops and bites her lip. She glances across the room, but for once, her normally insomniac roommate is actually asleep, exhausted from over-training and getting thrown hard into the wall by another team member. There’s always curiosity from Skylight, questions pooling […]

The One (drabble) – 100 words of magic
Written for origfic bingo: They called it ‘magic’, this feeling that was supposed to overwhelm her when she finally met the one. Air tossed another cheap paperback book across the room, narrowly missing Shadow’s head.

Ice Queen made it out injured, but it wasn’t injury keeping her awake. On the other other side of the bedroom, Wolf breathed steadily, as though she slept, as though today weighed nothing. Ice Queen rolled over and stared at the wall, into flames crackling beneath the cries of her mare, village burning because her […]

“Would you do it differently? Any of it, knowing everything we do now.” Arc turned her head slightly, still not quite looking at Ice Queen, fingers delicately not quite holding the jar of tea in her hand.
