In the end, he asked about Rose. Wasn’t much Jenny could tell him, and she admitted it – said she’d told Archer as much, too, when he’d been asking. Yes, she’d almost certainly been Sacaask, and yes, she’d almost certainly been brought up somewhere in … Continue reading Fire in the Sky: Chapter 26 (draft)
Turns out heatwave plus pain spikes plus a fun and exciting uptick in societal transphobia (stupid fuck-off EHRC ‘guidance’ which can get entirely into the fucking bin along with the people who pushed it through) equals brain a wee bit too full of bees for … Continue reading Apologies for the schedule slip around here
If he was completely honest, Fest hadn’t actually wanted to go anywhere near the University. Yes, he’d gone back there briefly when they’d got back to the city – if nothing else, he needed to make sure that nobody had done anything awful to his … Continue reading Fire in the Sky: Chapter 25 (draft)

Then she dropped the basket onto one armchair, dropped herself into another, put her head in her hands, and swore, quietly and viciously, in every language … Continue reading Fire in the Sky: Chapter 22 (draft)
How much Anneke knew about wellsprings turned out to be ‘rather a lot’ – to the point that, by the time they’d run out of useful information and started in on the self-admittedly wilder end of theorycrafting, Fest had managed to get up, have a … Continue reading Fire in the Sky: Chapter 21 (draft)
