Gettysburg

July 1, 2022June 30, 2022 ~ H.S. Kylian ~ 1 Comment

To commemorate the 159th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, I’ve completely rewritten this piece from a few years ago. The original post has been tweaked since then – originally they weren’t married. The story has changed more since the tweaks, hence why I rewrote it.

In which I post the first flash fiction since…oh, last month. Anyway…this is another Zero & Five fic, and to bring you all up to speed, it’s a modern/thriller retelling of the fairytale Jorinde & Joringel. I also have a Victorian Steampunk-ish retelling in mind too.

The Mirror

July 17, 2020July 20, 2020 ~ H.S. Kylian ~ 1 Comment

Back in January, I posted this for part of Fairy Tale Central’s Snow Queen month. At some point between then and now, I got around to writing a sequel-ish of sorts.
