Summary
A dozen brown sacks of seeds line the walls and Hatterene whirls around with a ferocious grin.
“You will separate the poppy seeds from gains of soil. Complete this task before I return, and I will grant you a fire. But if you fail, I will devour you.”
The witch tosses a small loaf of bread to Gladion and locks the door behind her. Gladion stares at the dark seeds indistinguishable from soil. For an hour, he labors through the sack seed-by-seed until his hands shake with fatigue. The creases on his face grow deep, and the air dispels a despondent vapor. How can I save Lillie and Type: Null if I can’t complete this task? As the night labors on, his helplessness against his mother and the Forest Witch gnaws his confidence thin.
--
Inspired by Vasilisa the Beautiful, Gladion is seemingly whisked away into a fairy tale that forces him to confront his fears in order to save his sister, Lillie. A journey of heart and resolve, he befriends a strange, helpful doll and undergoes a trial from the Forest Witch.
Written for the Fairy Stories Zine.

Summary
“After all, we are the children of the dark. The demons that dwell inside a citadel of shame, anger, and fear.” Jinu takes another step toward her, his thumb on her chin as he tilts her head higher. “But if you allow yourself to fall, I will be the one to catch you.”
“You’re evil,” she murmurs weakly, but there is no heat behind her words. Only defeat. Resignation.
“You think I’m evil.” Jinu replies quietly. “That I’m not capable of feeling. But that’s what all demons do. We have the capacity to feel. And most of all, we have the capacity to regret.”
The lamp above flickers and the light returns. She winces and shuts her eyes from the brightness.
“And like you—I was once human.”
When she opens her eyes, Jinu vanishes. Only the ghost of his touch and the word regret lingers with her.
--
In which Rumi struggles with her identity. But when she meets Jinu, where does his humanity begin when that demon part of him ends?

Summary
In imperial China where the inner court runs on secrets and shadows, a new kind of light arrives in the form of Amunet, the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh — Vessel of Ra, born from desert gold and ancient fire.
Sent from the southern reaches of the Nile as part of a rare trade accord, she carries with her an abundance of gold, iron, jewels, and a lineage that traces back to gods of old. Her presence in the Chinese court stirs a volatile mix of awe, fear, and curiosity as she prepares to wed the Emperor's son and future heir to the strongest Empire on Earth: Ka Zuigetsu.
The Moon Prince.
Beloved and untouchable, he represents everything Amunet distrusts about court life...And is nothing at all like the playful and childish man Amunet begins to uncover beneath the surface.
What begins as a mere political arrangement between two ancient powerhouses slowly gives way to something neither Amunet nor Zuigetsu ever could've planned for: an intimacy born not only of duty, but unbridled trust and vulnerability. But as they draw closer, a hidden enemy emerges from the shadows—one with no loyalty to either crown, and every reason to see both Empires come crashing down.

Summary
I never forgot the letter my grandpa had left me. It often appeared in my mind; as I was waking up at five in the morning, my room still dark, to prepare myself for another day of lectures and night shifts; as I was returning home, surrounded by the noise of the city (I used to love it; what happened?) and breathing in its everlasting smog; as I chugged down another bottle of a sickeningly sweet energetic drink, knowing I would be falling asleep over my notes, otherwise. I’ve developed a habit of carrying the letter around with me, recently, like some sort of an amulet. I’ve never opened it, though. Not until yesterday.
Before my bus to Stardew Valley took off, I had smoked my last cigarette. I intend it to be the last, at least. A symbolic goodbye to my old life.

Summary
A high-minded prince and a solitary king try to make sense of one another and the divergent paths in their lives that brought them together whilst they traverse an unknown wilderness that dares to unmake them.
Certain ideas and principles are inevitably tested, with the wires between past and present either brittle or taut, including fragile feelings for people who aren't there but whom they still hold dearly.
