Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science, right Penny?

Highlighting the fourth card Niamh draws in her reading for Harker because I have 0 instances of the word "fourth" for some reason???

#Smutcember first kiss: Penny and Thomas don't kiss on the lips. Their sex is entirely transactional... until they meet by chance at an orgy and sneak into a private screened space after having fun with others. This is the first moment they *want* it.

...they do a bunch of other stuff instead.

Niamh may be an ancient being of incredible power and awe inspiring fury but she also has big Sunday school teacher energy.

Fun fact: dragons explode into a soul-devouring death vortex when they die! Turns out fucking with immortality had some unforseen consequences!

Whomst among us could resist letting a malevolent decay spirit live in our compost heap in exchange for protection and really good soil additives? Im sure there will be no problems with this arrangement.

Niamh’s shop sets up a nice cozy fantasy vibe to which the rest of the novel immediately does arson.

Attempts to impede Penny's progress arent gonna work out great for you, Thomas.

Multinational instead of global.
