I wrote a fic!!

This was my gift for the lovely @albatrossisland in the @jaime-brienne-fic-exchange - despite all the sad tags, it's intended to be more about healing and hope - also: bees, some chickens, and a cat who lies :)

A gazillion thanks as always to @catherineflowers29 for being amazing and reassuring me this wasn't terrible every ten minutes for MONTHS, @shipping-receiving for very patiently walking me through multiple 4am rewrites YET AGAIN and fixing everything brilliantly, and @firesign23 for all their amazing hard work sorting the exchange (and all the death march sprints!)

They can never understand that one does not necessarily leave for hate, one may leave to save one’s dream.

The Wild Swans

This illustration is inspired by the fairytale "The Wild Swans" (Hans Christian Andersen's version of the tale) which has has a ton of variations like: "Six Swans" or "The Seven Ravens", etc. The basics of the story include a widowed King with 7 to 12 children and an evil stepmother that curses all of the children except the youngest daughter into swans. To save her brothers the youngest is given a terrible task involving nettles. My favorite retelling of this fairytale is easily 'Daughter of the Forest' by Juliet Marillier (I would recommend it for an older teens/adult fiction audience). Have any of you ever read it? Or let me know your favorite version of the fairytale I am always looking for more! :D
