I can't imagine what the connection could be with Helen and that Sion Aivry guy, but here's hoping those two kids make good. Quite the dark set-up for things, but with a fitting amount of light coming through as well. I liked the bit where she talked about making her constructs and how he responded. It was a rather charming encounter, as long as one looked past the setting and implications and whatnot. Maybe not a modern "meet cute", but a reasonable Dark Ages version.

I really do hope to read the full story someday!




As I do read a fair amount of equine fiction, I have to say it really isn't hard to do... the good ones read like Parodyverse stories (especially Parodyverse stories starring Pegasus, I suppose.) But then, you know that I've never been overly worried about the accident of a character's condition... I don't care if they're unicorns, or robotic fleas, or holograms, or completely unremarkable and entirely real people. None of that affects whether I connect with them or not.
