@rebeccathorne.bsky.social has giant birds, espionage, and marriage, @hannahnicolemae.bsky.social wishes you'd give the boy next door a chance, I'm not sure what Olivia Atwater is doing here (something to do with Tamlin), and @lrlam.bsky.social has a sapphic lady in a tower who needs rescuing!

Warbirds, by Rebecca Thorne: Giant birds plus an arranged marriage, with a surprising twist!

Every Rose Has its Thief, by Hannah Nicole Maehrer: A magical rose by any other name would pay your debts. So would the boy next door, if you'd let him.

The Last Train from Faerie, by Olivia Atwater: AKA "Tamlin on a Train", AKA "My Friend's Younger Sister Rescues Me From a Bunch of Faeries".

Rose Bloom, Rose Bud, Rose Blood, by L.R. Lam: Get your hands off my girl/goddess, you filthy government scum!

@kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social says "the monster's pretty nice, actually", @quicunquevult.bsky.social says "ACTUALLY, MARRY THE BEAR", @laviecestmoi.bsky.social says "what if we kissed in the library", and @julietmarillier.bsky.social says "actually, Wildwood Dancing DOES get another story"!

Double Trouble, by Kelley Armstrong: When one of the monsters you're hunting turns out to be a pretty okay guy, actually?

Unearned Luck, by Alexis Hall: Choose the bear. Marry the bear. Fall in love with the bear. (This story was hilarious.)

Speaker and Calligrapher, by Vida Cruz-Borja: Magical study sessions with the annoying guy who's totally not your crush.

The Moonlit Pathway, by Juliet Marillier: A follow-up story to Marillier's Wildwood Dancing and Cybele's Secret, set in the modern era.

@sennydreadful.bsky.social serves up some supernatural matchmaking, Chloe Neill gives us an alliance via marriage, @greerstothers.bsky.social gives kiss/kill a new definition, and @aychao.com hit every single one of my favourite wuxia tropes with a lady martial artist disguised as a man!

'Tis Pity He's an Elf, by Jen Williams: A human and a faerie conspire at matchmaking. The job is harder than it looks.

Silver Dahlia, Golden King, by Chloe Neill: Sometimes you meet your future husband by shooting him in the leg.

Fool in Love, Ghoul in Hate, by Greer Stothers: Have you ever hated your enemy so much that you just had to kiss him? (After killing him, of course.)

The Brocade Prince, by A.Y. Chao: Martial arts! Secret identities! Rooftop fights! (And kissing.)

Our roommates officially have chickens! (Though @nicholasatwater.com built most of the coop.) They are so. So dumb. The roommates had to chase them out of the rain and into shelter last night—they REALLY wanted to stay outside in the rain. Mr Atwater played Benny Hill music while it was happening.

Five very dumb brown hens creep out of their chicken coop in search of food.
