The Price of Protection

The Price of Protection Or, A Tale of Magic Against Crime Hello again. Finally looks like it's clearing up out there, doesn't it? Thank heavens, I thought we were going to have a flood. You sounded so anxious on the phone, what's the matter, dear? Ah, I see. Lisbet left you off in a rather bad stopping place in the story, did she? All right, come on in, get yourself settled. That's better. Now, where exactly did she stop? I see, I see. I'll pick up where she left off then. Hm. At first we just saw some men stumbling around in the dark. I think they were just checking on things, not actually adding to or taking from their stash of liquor.

Visions in the Looking Glass

The Visions In The Looking Glass Or, How To Spy on People Without Their Knowledge Goodness gracious, honey, can you believe this weather? I swear this is the fifth day straight of rain. Here, put your coat in the closet. Yes, there, thank you. Now, do come in and get warm. Anything to drink? Of course, of course. Come on in to the kitchen and I'll get a cup ready for you, I could use a sip of tea myself. Now, let's see. Oh, pardon me. Please take the further chair. So Clara tells me you're interested in my mirror, are you? Yes, the same as the one connected to Clara's old big one, the one I talked though on my end. It was a hand mirror.

The Sickness in the Body

The Sickness in the Body Or, Pestilence Come in, quick, hurry, there you go. Goodness, let me get the door closed. Put your jacket over there, I can hardly believe this weather, it's been pouring all week. Did you make it here all right, no mishaps? Good, good. Take off those muddy shoes, don't you go walking on my carpet with them! What a mess, just leave them there in the foyer. Goodness. Do you want anything to drink, dear, I've got some cocoa warming up in the microwave. Certainly, marshmallows? Good, it's not hot chocolate without marshmallows. Do you need a Kleenex? They're over there, on the table, the garbage is under the sink. A

Lily Unmaid by QueenAlatariel, literature

Literature

Lily Unmaid

A short modernization of the Arthurian story of Elaine, known as the Lily Maid of Astolat, or the Lady of Shallott. Lily Unmaid She was a tiny creature, small and pale, curled into a corner of a rain stained window. Her eyes were like water in a grey storm, clear but reflecting the clouds above, turbulent and shadowy as they shift. Small waves eddied around her face, colorlessly cupping her chin and her cheeks, the redness washed away in the stillness of the raining world. In the greyness, she was at home, colors muted and swept from vision. Lace draped itself around her, shrouding her in white folds of delicate sti

Bloom of the Cherry -Chapter 1

Prologue- And as she slept, she dreamed. And the visions of faces fell before her, painted onto the blossoms of the sakura petals, of enemies of long past, of friends who she treasured. But these sights were not earthly, for they swirled and passed by her, and she could not touch them, as their beauty faded and wilted under her fingertips. There was sunlight, or perhaps moonlight, but from no source that one could see, coming from every space, ebbing into her vision, washing away the darkness, but blinding her even as she tried to grasp for some stability in this tiny enclosed world. There was a sound of laughter, and as it is in dreams

Not Quite Shining Armor part 1

Not Quite Shining Armor Shard detector. Shard detector! He called me a shard detector! I can't believe it. You know, I've got things to do. School, mainly. Kami-sama, I'm at least a month behind. And Math! Argh! I'll never catch up. You know, I'm chasing Buyo, minding my own business, and now I'm here, and stuck with him. Look at him, up in his tree as usual. Sure, he's trying to keep an eye on camp, make sure no more of those freaky youkai come to pick a fight. Of course he'd beat them, but still. Shard detector! He called me a shard detector! Fine, maybe in a very wrong way, that's true. I can find them. But still, how rude. S

Bloom of the Cherry Chapter 2

The Bloom of the Mountain Cherry Chapter 2- Illusion, Who Lets No One See Her Face As life flows on, who ever will read it? This keepsake to her whose memory will never die? -Murasaki Shikibu Her eyes flickering easily over the page, Ami read from her assignment book. There was a great feeling of satisfaction, getting work done, and done well. She felt content, having completed Friday's test, and even Usagi was giggling that she thought she did well on the exam in social studies. For her, a miracle, but if I were to fail, imagine the shock of it. The illusion I cast over myself would be shattered. And it was true. Some viscous

Not Quite Shining Armor part 2

Not Quite Shining Armor -chapter 2: the return of the textbook! Kuso. You know, a minute ago, I thought she was pissed at me, and now she's all smiley while she sleeps. Feh. Hell, she'd probably be pissed if she knew I was watching her. Can't understand her half the time. Feh, half the time? Try none of the time. Nothing about her makes any sense. Wish she'd get it though her thick full-human skull that finding the Shikon no Tama is more important than her damn 'tests' or whatever. And 'school.' Feh. If Naraku gets ahold of the thing, who knows what he'll do with it? And won't that change her world, too, if stuff gets messed up here? Las

Literature

The Thing at the Bottom

The Thing At The Bottom of The Stairs Or, A Discourse On The Monstrosity of Monsters Welcome! Nice to meet you, dear. Come in, come in, don't just stand there hovering. Have a seat, make yourself comfortable, there's plenty of room. Would you care for something to drink? No? Settled then? Good. I suppose I should just get started with the tale, then, shouldn't I? I'll begin it in my favorite way, with the words that begin all fairy tales, though this is not exactly what you would consider to be a tale of the fairies. If you'd rather hear something about them, then perhaps I'll send you to a friend of mine, who would certainly be better ab

Astonishment

:shocked: I got a dailyDev! :jawdrop: And...didn't even realize it until a month after I got it.  :doh: Someone, please smack me when cool things happen to me and I don't realize it. :D I'm sifting through messages now...and...a month after it happened, it's new to me, so I'm still a bit stunned. Especially for a story I posted here in 2005. Thank you, ever so much, everyone who reviewed, and to WordCount and GunShyMartyr for suggesting and featuring me! *is proud of her girls* I'm still fuddling my way through the favorites :shocked: and such. Sorry for the delay to anyone who reviewed. Until about an hour ago I had no idea I'd been featu

Just Rolling Along Through

0 min read

Long time no see, everyone! And for the most part, that seems to be how it will stay. I'll still be dropping by every blue moon or so to browse through and see if anything important has been left for me, but real life has been filling up my, well, life. So, instead of having a very old journal entry gathering dust and spiderwebs, I thought I'd post a note saying that I'm around, more or less, but it may take some time for me to get back to you if you try to contact me via devart. In regards to my fiction/fics/art - all of my original fiction is up here (at least what will go online). If you are interested in my fanfic, most of which are in

It Was Good...Yokohama....

0 min read

So, has anyone else been watching Heroes? :) Hmm...a couple weeks ago I went to Yokohama with the Boy. Well, I went to Tokyo to visit the Boy, and we spent one of the days in Yokohama, which is a lot closer to Tokyo than I realized. (Only about 15 minute train ride. I knew it was close, but I figured it was more a thirty or forty minute ride....) We went to Chinatown, which was so packed...of course, being a Chinatown, there were dozens of restaurants eveywhere...and we arrived just at lunchtime. Lines out the doors. We ended up at a fun little 'food court' style restaurant, which had the best gyoza ever. Gyoza are a type of pork dumpling. S
