Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Summary
All the stories painted the experience of being Fatemarked as a rare and beautiful anomaly. It meant that somewhere out in the world, there was a person—your soulmate—waiting for you. This was supposed to be a blessing... so why didn't it feel like one?

Summary
“Should we talk about what just happened?” Baird asked, voice very low.
“Talk about how an eleven-year-old child opened a doorway to divine power?” said Myles. “Or talk about how that child did so to save the prince from an unnatural disease sent to disable the line of succession? Or talk about how that child is likely now a prime target for whoever sent it?”
“We could talk about how we’re not referring to that child as a boy, right now,” offered Baird, and Myles took a sharp breath.
"For that child’s sake, we should talk about none of this.”
_______________SOTL through POTS from the realm's Chief Healer, who has a very good heart. Also, Wilina.
