Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the people person.

ART: Brotherhood

Found Family. Argent Mettlebright has become an advocate for the rights of all crossers, offering them a safe haven at Stately House. But dragon crossers command a special place in his regard, largely thanks to Kyrie.

. . .

Every child of the Rogue, no matter how wretched the circumstances of their begetting, was a precious life. Yet they’d been born bereft. Orphaned. Unwanted. Exploited.

Lulling

On the Mend. You may not have even missed me. (Hey, everyone’s usually pretty busy over a holiday weekend.) Still, it only seems polite to report. Our household has survived a second go-around with Covid & I should be fully clear in another few days.

The impending writing binge may consume all my attention for a few d...
