Equinox as a time for checking the balance between good and evil, recognizing that stars are only visible in the darkness.

"By The Stars" (504 words)

And thanks for the signal-boost! Such is always appreciated!

A dragon or other long-lived creature contemplates the changing seasons.

More to follow -- now that my anthology piece is on its way, I'm moving on to these - but I wanted to at least drop this here for now:
SLA member or other professional spacer goes home just in time for the Equinox.
"Hearth and Home" (1153 words)

[stilghar]

Very nice. And the squirrel's tale might shape up into a nice little novella, if you decide to.

[shurhaian]

Have another one:
Farmer tilling his fields for spring planting unearths something unexpected.
"The Egg" (515 words)

This one's been on my storyblog for some days, of course, but is included here for completeness:
After seeding the fields, it is time to honor the Gods of all growing things with another kind of seeding...
"The Vessel of Virility" (NSFW; M/M, group sex, incest; M/F; bondage; 2091 words)

This one has not:
Blake getting his first little corner of his dad's vegetable garden to be a gardener in, and seeding it
"Growing Gold" (572 words)

Enjoy!

On Equinox, every tarot spread I do comes up with all 4 TWO cards.

[shurhaian]

Pardon me, but is this a prompt or just a comment? If it's a prompt, my lack of knowledge of Tarot would hit me - I have no idea what any of those cards mean, much less all four in conjunction.
