    Summary

    “Fate etched your demise in the fabric of eternity itself,” Rio says, sweeping her arms open; spiders skitter from the dark creases of her cloak. “It was written eons before your birth. Now – the time has come to – ”

    “The end is nigh, sinner!” says a familiar voice behind her. “It is I, Lady Death! Ooga booga!”

    If Rio had eyes right now, they’d be twitching. Slowly, she turns to take in the unwelcome (if increasingly-frequent) sight: Agatha, holding a Ghostface Halloween mask over her ghostly face. Draped over her head in a paltry imitation of Rio’s cloak is a sequined black shawl – Billy’s, Rio guesses. She knows that the kid’s been trying his hand at drag recently.

    “Oh, this is so embarrassing,” Agatha says, flicking a finger in Rio’s direction. “One of us is gonna have to change.”

    ------------------------

    Just when a ghostly Agatha decides she's ready to give into Rio's centuries-long pursuit, Rio swears that she's finally done with the pursuing.

    Summary

    Wanda wants to fight Death, Death wants to fight Wanda, and Agatha wants to watch.

    ***

    Wanda moved quickly to pry the knife from Rio’s hand. Rio let her, mostly because the trade-off was fun and she wanted Agatha to get a complete show. Rio tried to bite, but Wanda pulled her away by her hair. Almost impressive, Rio thought.

    “Careful,” Agatha added. “She’s into that.”

    Wanda groaned in frustration and managed to scramble on top of Rio, putting her full weight on her chest to keep her pinned.

    “God, what’s wrong with you two?”

    Summary

    Agatha Harkness is one of the only original shop owners left on the Witches' Road, Westview NJ. Yoga studios and craft breweries have been popping up relentlessly, and over the last decade Agatha's seen her clientele morph from misfits and miscreants to the kind of customer who dares ask her to tattoo them with the likes of Hello Kitty. Enter Rio Vidal, Agatha's new neighbour, nemesis and owner of the Witches' Road Florist.

    Summary

    “You’re early,” Agatha managed, feigning a flicker of annoyance, though her pulse quickened.
    "I missed you.” The words were simple, almost soft. Her dark gaze held Agatha’s, steady and unyielding.
    "Agatha huffed, “Is that so?” She turned away, trying to mask the slight flush rising to her cheeks. "I’d think the Queen of Shadows wouldn’t be so sentimental.”
    The woman’s lips curved ever so slightly as she closed the distance between them. “Think what you want. But here you are."
