Summary
Even the noblest heroes can err, but it takes courage to call them out on it.
And also maybe a little hotheaded impulsivity. And a giant mountain cat at your back.
Post Castle of Llyr: Fflewddur broods over the well-being of his surrogate daughter.

Summary
You know that scene in The Book of Three, that showdown between a desperate, fallen queen and a defiant hero? Well... what if that wasn't their first meeting after all? What if the real story was more tangled, more nuanced, more tragic? Boundaries can be crossed and instinct overridden, but it's impossible to truly leave oneself behind...
(Set roughly 18-20 years before The Book of Three. Consider this on the mature side of a T rating; it's Achren-fic, after all.) -

Summary
So I decided to try a villain crossover story. I am very much in the "let's just see where it goes" stage, so things might change from beginning to later on. I'm mostly writing to share with my friend circle, but it's public so of course anyone else can read if they want.
Following near total destruction, The Beast has taken refuge in a realm far from The Unknown, which he has taken to calling The Eternal. The wayward souls of the wicked tend to find themselves drawn here upon their departure from their respective living realms or otherwise through near-death states. Determined to retain his claim over The Eternal and to sustain what remains of his soul for eternity, The Beast offers some of these souls their greatest desires, in exchange for the disposal of those with enough willpower to resist the call of his forest. This results in the formation of two warring factions: the followers of The Beast (The Kingdom of Skulls), and those who resist (The Tyrannical Alliance). Along the way, some will learn that the power of friendship is not restricted to heroes, some will overcome personal demons, and some will defiantly remain the same.

Summary
Prydain drabble and shortfic collection, spanning entire series and a little beyond. Most, but not all, Eilonwy-centric. Spoilers abound. Some will make more sense if you’ve read my longer stories.

Summary
This is ‘The Castle of Llyr’, and the beginning of ‘Taran Wanderer’, but from Eilonwy’s point of view. I loved these books dearly when I was a kid.
I’ve tried to track her corresponding journey of self-discovery. I’ve taken a few passages of dialogue from ‘The Castle of Llyr’ but interwoven them with my own writing. As always, I have tried to match the style: that’s all part of the fun.

Summary
If Taran had only held his tongue for one more moment, there under the pressure of Achren’s whispered offers, her poisonous taunts, then things, it was certain, would have turned out quite differently. As it was, that final test proved too much for his beleaguered heart.

Summary
I have been tossing this idea for a long-running Prydain fanfic around in the back of my mind for awhile now. I'm afraid with the other stories I'm in the middle of, and haven't even started yet, it's just never going to happen. So I'm putting the main ideas out here, and I invite you to share your thoughts on how good of a story you think it would be?

Summary
Achren’s voice rose sharply. “Eilonwy! What did I just say?”
Eilonwy hurriedly glanced down at the yellowed page. The letters seemed to twist and writhe under her gaze, like the worms she sometimes spotted in the courtyard after a storm. There was something unpleasant about them—the letters, not the worms. Well, the worms too, but that was hardly their fault. If Eilonwy didn’t have arms and legs, she’d have to writhe along too, and she'd hate it if people held it against her.

Summary
Eilonwy still remembered the day he moved in next door. Her room had a window that looked directly into the room across, close enough that they could climb from one to the other. Sometimes she imagined climbing into that other house, down the stairs, and running away never to be found. But she was practical enough to know that she would be in at least as much danger on the street as she was in this house, if not more. Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t as they say.
