Isla took several deep breaths, though it sounded to her more like she was hyperventilating: in-and-out-in-and-out. It was bad enough trying to calm herself down. Trying to calm down Wren too was a painful double duty. The little mute rarely panicked, rarely even worried. But the real possibility of getting caught sent her into a … Continue reading
It took Voldemort twice as long as he might have anticipated to convince his Death Eaters that Harry Potter was now a member of their ranks. First there was actually showing them, then there was shooting a series of curses in their direction when someone dared to question if he was sure about this. After … Continue reading
*ring ring* “Hello, and thank you for phoning Foul Play by Farceurs. My name is Francine. How may I assist you?” “Oh, um…yes. Hello. I’m calling to reserve a, uh…demise slot for a sworn enemy. Do you have any available?” “Oo! Indeed we do! Let me bring up my calendar. You know, this is usually … Continue reading
Proving moderately competent among Scarlemagne’s pets had its advantages. For one, Isla got sent out on missions more often, which meant less time wearing the movement-restricting, breath-denying monstrosity that was standard dress for the human females under Scarlemagne’s watch. Isla had once and only once seen him try to send one of the women on … Continue reading
Illustration by Crystal Rose “I want to join you.” Harry said the phrase in Parseltongue so that none of the Death Eaters would understand it. The sheer look of shock and confusion on Voldemort’s face was amusing enough, almost as much as he anticipated it would be. Inside he felt a strange sense of confidence … Continue reading

If she had … Continue reading
Much to Zuko’s humiliation, his opening words to Katara when she visited for the first time in years, “So, um… how are… life things?” He really wanted to slap himself sometimes. The two of them sat opposite each other at a small dining table waiting for breakfast to be served. She looked at him blankly … Continue reading
Welcome to the third and (for now) final part of my mini-trilogy. To recap, this was a challenge to take one of my characters and incorporate two other writers’ characters–one as an antagonist and one as a secondary character who helps solve the main conflict. My protagonist is Dawn Roseworth, and the first two parts … Continue reading
Izumi ran her tongue over her dry lips. She could still taste a bit of iron where her lower lip had been bleeding. She wasn’t quite sure if her wardens had forgotten to bring her water this morning or if they were purposefully withholding it again. They’d done both in the twenty-four hours since Iroh … Continue reading
The Fire Nation’s first “Institution for Troubled Benders” opened with little fanfare. The press was all over it, of course, especially the moments when President Raiko and Firelord Iroh both personally escorted Lady Izumi all the way from Republic City. Nanami was with them every step of the way, of course. The papers never made … Continue reading
