Summary
The oldest act of creation demands the oldest kind of magic.
A bed of grass, the blood of maidens, a turn of the wrist withershins for every eight the other way, under the light of the solstice – either will suffice – clad only in one’s skin. Not the most precise of spells, and not the most reliable either – an act of creation that can lead to nothing, or worse, but one tries it as one must.
However, with a lack of precision comes a lack of specificity – the verses in language that no longer stretches to a rhyme are never very clear about what a maiden is. Certainly, two witches who have shared a bed for countless decades can believably be maidens to the right ears.
In which Nicholas is born of old magic. It is not enough.

Summary
“‘I’m so in love with you, Dani,’ she whispers, dotting her kisses to Dani’s cheek and pulling her into a one-armed hug.
And it’s been over a year, but those words still make Dani feel like the ground has been dropped out from beneath her feet.
‘Well, that’s convenient,’ she says. ‘Because I love you, too.’”[Jamie and Dani and all the worlds where they find each other]
