nothing but flowers

For a taciturn character, Gracia sure has a lot to say.

Unfortunately, this story is supposed to be from Beth's perspective. (I think I'm having a hard time concentrating on it because I find the older characters more interesting than the college-age ones. The older ones have all that great baggage and history.)

( Wee piece of the magician story that doesn't fit )

And in case anyone from St A's is reading this, the person from whom I blatantly stole Cal's last name was B's dad ('cause he was my History of Magic professor), not B himself. :-)

It looks like what I have here is two separate but intertwined stories, such that I have to build them both at once, supporting each other. The second story is scaffolding that will mostly get pulled out from under the first, but it has to be there during construction. sigh

( It's possible that the side story starts this way instead )

( my favorite piece of the post-apocalyptic fairy tale so far )

It's almost too fun to be in Jordan's point of view.
