    Summary

    Something lurked in the forest. Ever since Phoebe had been isolated with her family, nothing felt right anymore. She heard whispers at night, caught glimpses of eyes between the trees… And a whispered promise had taken root in her mind: to live deliciously.
    (Clearly) based on the movie “The Witch”.

    Summary

    Despite having been the one to leave Aglaea and flee Okhema, Cipher cannot help but keep coming back. Aglaea wants to know why, to nail Cipher to a wall and interrogate her until she is satisfied with the answers, but she knows that any attempts to pry will only push Cipher even further away from her. So she waits, watches, hopes, for a day to come when Cipher is ready to share, until decades turn to centuries and it becomes far too late.
    "Cifera takes a nap in the largest tree she can find in the garden, curled in on herself like a cat. Aglaea watches the rise and fall of her chest, the golden threads pulsing with the rhythm of it, committing it to eternal memory. She takes a knife to the worn-out surface of Cifera’s absence and carves her shape into it, from the tips of her fluffy ears to the gentle wave of her tail.
    Within the space of her mind, when her hands bleed, they bleed red. She smears it, dark and messy, over the line of Cifera’s collarbones, down the back of her neck and between her shoulder blades, satisfied with the quality of her imitation. Beyond the glass wall, her emotions stare at her, pale and quiet, their original colors muddied by glowing gold."

    Summary

    Eyebrows twitch. “What makes you think I’m fae?”

    “Oh, please!” Enid makes a broad sweep with her claw. “You look like a goddess, you’re powerful as fuck, you eat fear for fun. What else could you be?”

    The glare softens into a mildly shocked stare. “Flattery will not save you.”

     

    Enid Sinclair is equal parts terrified and enchanted with the National Park she works at. Especially after she befriends (?) one of its supernatural residents.

    Summary

    ‘You are a child,’ she spits, low. ‘A child in the house of a man grown. Do not speak to me of love as if you have ever received it in your life.’

    Something knots within me, winding around my bones. It will be interred with me upon death, this wickedness. I see it before me, finally. A space I can fill, the clear path to a long-awaited victory.

    ‘Show me,’ I tell Mrs Danvers, whispering so the words don’t crack apart as they leave me.

    Summary

    As Janis is pulling the blanket over Regina, she hears, “I’m sorry.”
    It’s so quiet it’s almost a whisper, but it makes Janis freeze.
    “For what?” Janis asks cautiously.
    "Being scared.”
    Janis sits down carefully on the edge of the bed. “Scared of what?”
    “Of you,” Regina says, half into the pillow.

    or

    Regina tells Janis the truth, and everything that comes after.
