New Episode! Sometimes, you reach the limits of what sociological analysis and late-night tea-fueled family therapy can do. And then you've gotta go chase some idiots through a deadly jungle, climb some mountains, and fight some spider-wolves.

Rescued when their boat sank, the elves find themselves guests in an orcish city they never knew existed. And the surprises aren't over yet.

  Ábrahám stood at the iron ring sunk into the basilica floor, the rope coiled with a neatness that struck Fehér as either overly cautious or liturgical.  He was in his good coat; the way a man comes to do something upon which he has already decided.
  "You do not have to do this," Ábrahám said for the third time, each a bit hoarser in the morning damp.
  "You have begun to repeat yourself, pap."  Fehér checked the knot at his chest with a firm tug.  "That is generally a sign that the argument is finished."
  "The ministry knows that we have come here."
  "The ministry knows everything."  He gave the old priest a direct look, saw the fear of what might be discovered secreted away underneath them in his eyes.  "Historically, that has never been a stumbling block on the path towards anything worth doing."
  Ábrahám's face in the lamplight was a face in a Dürer - not the heroic ones, where contemplative saints pondered the weight of the world.  He had been a good man, Fehér thought, in years when goodness had been structurally convenient.  That was true of more people than comfortable to count.
  "Lower me," he said with the resolution of stone.

A deer head stared vacantly from its position above a door cut into to the back wall, while a rack of shotguns hung to one side of the door. Lanterns were scattered about the room, their light bleeding through the garish red curtains masking the windows.

Ebook screenshot from Flight of the Fates, book one, Fight or Flight: 
"Suddenly I was panicking again. “Sorry Miss! I didn’t mean - I should’ve offered you some, I didn’t-”

  She waved a hand and shook her head, though. “No, no, not at all. I would’ve refused, had you. Can’t eat the stuff - nothing cooked, nothing dead. Living meals, only.”

  I shivered at the concept, goosebumps rising on my skin and I suppose she saw it because she spoke again.

  “Is it so much better to have your meat die away from you, than it is to have it die in your jaws?”

  I took a deep breath, and I couldn’t really answer the question. If I thought about it just generally it didn’t seem like it could make any difference, really, but as soon as I thought about food I saw the fish in her teeth again and then I couldn’t in good conscience say that it didn’t matter.

  “I- I don’t know, Miss, I don’t suppose that it should be but it still seems to.” That was the answer I eventually settled on."

AL realizes they forgot to offer Molly any of their (cooked) fish when they notice Molly staring. Molly, however, doesn't care.

We can't believe it, but our little podcast is now officially TEN YEARS OLD! Not old enough to vote yet, but old enough to make a pretty good shoebox diorama for a fifth grade science project. We'll be celebrating with special retrospective links to old episodes! Watch this space!

#WIPSnips | library
Next to Carinen’s backpack, a cluster of pinkish-white mountain laurel was growing out of the library floor. Well, that hadn’t ever happened with Jessie. Several of the hexagonal flowers unfurled and doubled in size as Carinen watched. Faint hints of the laurel’s scent drifted up

#WIPSnips | wake
Charles’ magic is floating around the new bundle, not finding purchase. Carinen&Nancy watch as Ayana&Eric pull apart and try to scoop up wisps. A couple latch & sink in. More are drawn along in their wake. More and more, until all of the magic coming off of Charles is tucked inside.

#WIPSnips | dart
Carinen flushed. Well, okay. That was fair. She really shouldn’t be randomly leaving her (gorgeous) date to dart off the trail to pick up trash. She probably also shouldn’t be prioritizing grabbing trash on the trail over paying attention to what Lorene was talking about.

#WIPSnips | addition

The pet store Nancy had found had fish, turtles, rodents, & a bunch of different lizards, in addition to the cats & dogs the local shelter had brought over for an adoption drive. Carinen found it all fascinating, having grown up without any pets in the house.

Carinen had heard snippets of Judith practicing, but it was much more interesting learning about all the different types of communes as one coherent speech. Carinen had no idea how she’d found the energy to do so much research after the end of semester marathon.

They giggle, Carinen nudging Jessie to look at the pond's edge, where the plants are growing. There are plenty of sedges & rushes & pickerelweed, & oooh cardinal flowers! to investigate, green leaves reaching for the sun & roots for the water.
