Tales from a magical mystical medieval AU, full of gratuitous glowing gemstones and golden glasses.

I've been holding off on posting this index because I don't want to jinx myself on the actual writing...but by this point I have a few solid chapters, so I think the fic is in the clear. (Knock wood.)

Ironic comment is ironic, as this may be the 'verse in which I finally manage to write some magical fempreg XD (Knock wood again!)
