Update: It's under an hour til midnight as I write this, Atlantic time. Unless you get your prompt in within the next 55 minutes, prompts are now closed. Finished pieces will follow - anthology submission is out of the way, so I can work on them a little easier now

Seeking balance in diverse things

Dancing in and out of the shadows

Turning the earth and dreaming of harvest

Talking to Gaia

Sorry for the delay. Kind of missed my stride trying to get other stuff done, and then I had trouble finding a good notion to work from for one of these. But here it is!

Gaia's message for humanity on Equinox

Sorry for the delay, but here's this month's piece for you.

"Omens of Spring" (564 words)

Oh wow! That was beautiful! Is it from an existing universe that you write in? If so, I'd love to read more. Both characters, especially Leaftender, really intrigued me.

[shurhaian]

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's not an existing setting, no; all very spur-of-the-moment. I took the fairly iconic (I think) notions of a chieftain and a wise woman and sex-swapped them, but other than that it kind of just came together on its own.

Rolling in the hay (hey, it's appropriate for harvest-time. :)

Visiting home to help with the harvest or planting

Turning of the season, crisp air and cool nights

[shurhaian]

Happy belated birthday?

"Tryst" (NSFW, obviously; M/M human/lion; 536 words)

There's a bit of a power issue here, perhaps, but it's one the characters are actively defying, not playing up.
