Benjamin Sullivan, the honorable and somewhat mysterious court magician was married last Saturday to Lettie Hatter, formerly of Market Chipping. The other court magician was also there, presumably as a guest of the matron of honor, Sophie Pendragon nee Hatter, the bride's sister. They seemed wrapped up in some sort of disagreement for most of the ceremony though.

(a sapphic story about past lives, a folklore tale and two star crossed lovers)
Though I try hard to be alone, I can't be alone. I think about this kind of sweet apprehension. What can I do for this person? What can I be for that person? Maybe not being anything, or trying hard to be something, but rather being honest to myself is the kind of love that I can give.

When we made it back home, back over those curved roads that wind through the city of peace, we stopped at the doorway of dusk as it opened to our homelands. We gave thanks for the story, for all parts of the story because it was by the light of those challenges we knew ourselves— We asked for forgiveness. We laid down our burdens next to each other.

“A heart’s a heavy burden.”
