The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Well, it took me a solid year: I started writing it last July. I think I'll be lucky to post the final version within a year, since it's a bit much to expect my betas to turn it around quickly.
It'll be fun to be done, though: this is the story I've written with the broadest appeal, since it's a Narnia novel set just at the end of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Fandoms come and go, but nearly everyone's read Narnia.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hasa Diga, stealth-WIP-with-11-chapters-finished author who has since started two more series (I did not check and see if they're finished). Hasa Goddamn Diga.
I know, WIP happens; it's just frustrating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love the gentle understatement:
A lot of alien plants turn out to produce pollen with powerful aphrodisiac effects. You'd be amazed.
And never even mind the fucking witches!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Is "I [fucking] hate witches" canon or fanon?
