Sentiment – Oak King Holly King short story on Patreon!

Surprise! We interrupt your regularly-scheduled Theo to bring you a rough draft of a short story featuring Shrike and Wren from Oak King Holly King.

~

“Sentiment,” Shrike had told him, “is the highest value any artifact may attain. It would grant powerful magic to its wielder. Your milk-teeth, imbued with a child’s innocence and a mother’s love, would prove potent indeed.”

~

Joining me on Patre♡n will give you access to “drawer fic” – aka the 500k+ words worth of manuscripts that have been shelved until I figure out how to fix or finish them. You’ll also be invited to join an exclusive Discord server just for patrons!
