The "A" Shelves; a continuation of Fairy Town for the Giraffe Call (@inventrix)

For @inventrix's commissioned continuation of Burning Summer Quest (LJ)
In Mr. Ting's (LJ)
Mrs. Gent's Lemonade (LJ) and Differences of Opinion (LJ); Part 4 of ?



The tension in the store was thick and uncomfortable. Jordan was unhappy, and Mrs. Gent was getting back-straight and glowering, like our neighbor down the street that liked to count heads as we left and frown at the number of people who lived in our three-bedroom house.

I didn't know what to do about it, either. Jordan was in charge of smoothing situations over. I was pretty good at putting my foot in it, but that was about it.

Story of the City, a story of Reiassan for the Giraffe Call (@ellenmillion)

For ellenmillion's prompt

Reiassan has a landing page here on DW and here on LJ

When Sahsyō returned home from the city for the festival of Veignevar, she told her family: "The first thing I thought when I saw Ūnetkabyē? I wondered where they kept the animals."

This was, as her new friends at University would say, a poetic retelling, and as her grandmother would have said, if she'd known, a steaming load of what came out of the far end of the goat.

This story contains magic and references to Changes but no slavery, or sex. It does involve references to violence.
