  2. Summary

    Short stories for the eight Sabbats of Alexandrian Wicca. Some depict Wiccan deities and what happens to them on the Sabbat, some follow the spirit of the Sabbat, and some deal with the modern meanings of holidays. For a short explanation of the symbolism of the Wheel of the Year, see the introduction in A Witches' Bible: The Complete Witches' Handbook by Stewart Farrar.

  3. Summary

    Flash fiction re-imaginings of the poems in the Romancero Gitano, a poetry collection by Spanish writer Federico García Lorca. The themes of the poems are very powerful and, to me, somewhat difficult to meet head on. These fics are an attempt to take an oblique look at them and make them my own, in a way.

    I try to link the poems with their English translations in the notes, when I can find them online. Please be aware that the vast majority of the translations, while faithful to the meanings of the original poems, do not keep the meter and the rhymes, and therefore do not convey the magnetic charm of Lorca's works.

    Summary

    He met Lan Zhan’s gaze and came to a cold realization that this Lan Zhan didn’t recognize him. This was not his husband who had grieved him for thirteen years, who had been punished with thirty three strikes of the discipline whip by a sect who claimed to be righteous – but only complied to that righteousness when it fit their ideals, if anyone fell out of line, clearly, they could not be held responsible for dealing out punishment for stepping off the path – his husband, who had branded himself after finding their son in the ruins of the Burial Mounds.

    This was a version of his husband Wei Ying had not gotten to experience.

    This was a desperate Lan Zhan.

    or: an accidental time travel takes Wei Ying back to a time (to a cave) he doesn't remember, and it's now up to him and his husband to save everyone before the clans come to lay siege.

    Summary

    “Excuse me.” At the sound of his voice, they looked at him and the hood revealed very worried looking Wei Ying. “Wei Ying, what are you doing here? Lan Zhan’s not home yet.”

    “No, I know, it’s just…” he sighed deeply and looked up into the old mans eyes.

    In this moment it was evident that the boy just stopped crying. He’s eyes were red and glossy, his face a little swollen.

    “Let’s get inside, it’s getting cold out here”
