Summary
“Saints have radiantly empty eyes.” — Elena Shvarts, ‘Paradise; “Where are we?”’
Girl, he reminds himself. Sage can be no older than eighteen, and that is still very much a girl. He remembers her birth as if it was yesterday, for it was the same day his brother- her father- had the bolt put through his chest, and his wife, bleeding and dead in the birthing bed, her child and her antlers, missing. Alister had been fifteen, and thinking himself a proper man, but had wept over his brother all the same, his sister-in-law’s dark dead eyes boring through him, red tears pouring down her face.
(An uncle meets his niece for the first time, in a sacrificial dance.)

Summary
“The corruption begins with the mouth, the tongue,- the wanting. The first poem in the world is ‘I want to eat’.” — Erica Jong, ‘Where It Begins’
Even if you do not know the many skins he’s shed, or of the numerous lives that were lost because of him- you’ve become quite good at reading him. So good, sometimes he wonders if you know him better than he does himself. And for it, the blame falls on his shoulders alone. He never should've let you get this close and yet- and yet.
And yet, he has never met anyone like you at all.
(The four times Gwylan resisted kissing you and the one time he didn’t.)
A prequel to Foxlore, that could also be read as a standalone.

Summary
“What’s the winter for? To remember love.” — Theodore Roethke, ‘Random Undated Notes’
Gwylan listens to it all with a quiet, but gentle expression on his face. He looks over at Sir Lance, seems to think for a second, before unclasping his dark green scarf and wrapping it around Sir Lancelot’s neck. It’s a good fit.
“He won’t be so cold now,” he says, and grapples Aderyn back into his arms. She looks utterly delighted. “Sometimes warming a heart can be much simpler than we think.”
(Another fox tale, to share over Christmas.)

Summary
“You and I are so special; the miracles we know, no one knows, and no one loves the way we love.” — Vladimir Nabokov, in a letter to his wife, Vera
“We spoke a little,” you muse. “It told me about you. That waiting is never forever. And… and something else. I don’t remember.”
He looks at you funny. “The moon is that talkative? I never could’ve guessed. Then again, the moon controls the tides and the sea is never quiet.”
“You’ll need to teach me,” you bump your head against his shoulder. “I only understand their language when I’m sleeping.”
(In a dream, come your answers for the future.)
