I read the Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands and so I drew another strange fairy, a fox man called Snowbell. He is small in stature, a bit of a man-eater, but he knows the fairy realms. He likes journeys. His species is called "fuchszwerge". I looked it up, but of course it's the author's invention, in our world that's what a breed of rabbit is called.

Snowbell ! My temporary roommate!

New Emily Wilde one-shot!

This begins a new multi-chapter ficlet set a few months after the end of Compendium (so about a month after Emily's coronation). This ficlet explores a few post-canon themes I've been wanting to get to, many of which revolve around the theme of family.

Read it here on AO3

Wendell was already waiting for me at the training green, whose grass had already grown over the torn-up places from this morning. His white lace-up tunic and tan breeches were also miraculously pristine, which made me wonder how many of these identical sparring getups he has made for himself. His dressing room is much larger than mine, and that is saying something.

“You are very punctual,” I said.

“I will have you know that I was a model student in my day. Always on time, always the quickest learner.”

“In which subjects, I wonder?”

"Swordmanship. Knife-work. Needlecraft.” He thought for a moment. “I think that about covers it. My attendance to the other subjects was a little more, ah, spontaneous.”

“So as long as sharp objects are involved…?”
