Culturally, the two souls are 'siblings' and most get along well together. There are exceptions, but they are rare.

Here's a snippet from the prequel to this WIP, showing Navin and his wolf-sister interacting.

Planting Life in a Dying City is a chosen-family fantasy set in a bronze age world. Including polyamory, agender societies, challenging the status quo, autistic characters, and second chances.

Finally finished my ace pride band. Total is about an inch wide and 10 feet long.

Had planned to do trans flag next but can't afford more string right now, so need to go back to the drawing board, see what I can do with what I have on hand.

Okay, lets' try to do this properly.
I'm Jess,
I write queer fiction. Mostly SFF chosen family, some kink, lots of fucking-with-tropes.
On a personal, I'm nonbinary (they/them), Jewish, autistic, disabled, parent, polyamorous, radical, and talk about all of it.

Taking some time this evening to get some weaving done. My goal was to make a whole bunch of bands before next years pride and hand them out to folks who wanted. But next month I'll be working on a personal project instead -- leash for the service dog I'll be getting soon.
