"Are you sure?" Steele asked as he stood in the house's entryway and glanced around.

"We raised six children here," the man who'd hired him explained.

"And it looks it," the woman beside him added.

Steele nodded. His magic would fix every scratch and chip and gouge and mark. It would make the house as it was when they'd moved in, or possibly even better.

"Are you sure?" Steele asked again as he pressed one hand to the nearest wall and felt the house's decades within.

"Well maybe we could just paint?"

Steele nodded. He sold a lot of paint.

Daron stared, terrified, as the headmistress held up a spell he'd covertly copied out of one of the main library's big books.

They weren't supposed to do magic outside of class but nobody listened to that. Swapping interesting spells was normal!

"You've caused an impressive amount of chaos, young man," the headmistress said.

Daron winced. But how...? It was a room cleaning spell...

"Not to mention your language!" She tapped the page.

"'Tuck in the corner?'" Daron questioned.

There was silence for a long moment.

"Work on your penmanship!"

I've been very haphazard with my archiving, especially the fanfiction. ^^;; If there's a link that's not clickable that you'd like to see clickable just let me know!

I do have stuff on AO3 still, but I stopped posting there last year for various reasons. I'm also working on archiving everything from an old site I no longer have edit-access to.

It's a LOT.

I've been writing and posting online for about 22 years now and while old stuff is old, watching so much other stuff disappear just makes me want to archive it more.

Just because.

I, a person chronically allergic to self-promo, would like to very quietly mention that I have a website that I'm very slowly putting all my writing on!

lemonadecafe.neocities.org/

also mirrored on Dreamwidth here:
lemonadecafe.dreamwidth.org/

There's both original fiction and fanfiction on both; it's a little messy right now because I have a lot to archive, but I'm doing my best.

👋FAREWELL TO THE DEAD🔥

Obon (お盆) draws to a close in the next few days, and tomorrow evening families will be saying goodbye to their ancestral spirits for another year.

From 8pm fiery shapes will appear on five of Kyōto's mountains...beacons guiding the dead back to the Netherworld.

Please stop using "blindness" as a lazy synonym for "ignorance" in your writing. If there’s one thing about Blind folks: we survive and thrive by being perceptive, observing patterns and responding to cues. Not only is this use of "blindness" rude — it's uninformed. Mistaken. Obtuse. Naive. Counterfactual. There you go — five better ways to say "ignorant" than "Blind"

I think one of the saddest things about the internet/instagram side hustle culture/late stage capitalism is that its convinced everyone they're supposed to be making money from their art and if they're not they are somehow a failure.

Creative expression is something you're just allowed to have, to do, to make yourself feel something, you can share it with other people if you want but it's only purpose is to exist

if you want to make money from your skills then fine but don't let it crush you

Hallie pulled off her helmet and breathed deep. The terraforming hadn't failed; the planet was still lush and green and the oxygen levels were perfect.

But MartA27 had been abandoned decades before, left to slowly be reclaimed by the nature imposed upon it.

Hallie unclipped her device and began filming as she wandered through the remains of a theme park.

Robot cows rusted red. A video panel quietly stuttering "cheese" and "membrane" and "Wisconsin". A tattered robot in a red apron.

Hallie didn't understand it.

She documented it anyway.

My sister told me that my 15yo niece Indie was embroidering her own sneakers. “Cool,” I said, remembering how I used to doodle on mine. Then they sent me the photos. 🤯 They are STUNNING. Look at that. A TEENAGER DID THAT. 😍🐝🌸 #embroidery #embroidered #converse

Violet looked from the pair of hulking WRMs - war-robot-machines - to her group of nervous students.

"A little grease isn't going to kill any of you," she said firmly. The first time was always like this. Then they'd all learn that rolling up their sleeves and getting dirty was kinda fun.

"The barrel would if it landed on you," one student pointed out.

"That's why the gravity is on," another countered.

One girl finally stepped forward to take a handful of thick purple WRM-grease and headed for an ankle.

Violet grinned.

It was a good start.
