    Summary

    This was a terrible, terrible idea. The worst idea she had ever had. Possibly the worst thing that she had ever even done. 

     

    McQueen shamefully placed her prize on the bed, the little item sitting innocently and making her guilt spike all over again.

     

    A single pair of gloves. One white, one navy blue. 

     

    Exactly like the kind that Teio wore.

    Summary

    This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akti, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.

    Summary

    An unexpected ingredient, a flash of inspiration and a dash of sugar. Serve with love and share with friends.

    Thimble hummed a half-remembered melody as he and Viv cleaned the kitchen, storing the sweets in the cold box, which was almost fit to burst by the time they were done. Feeling his heart buzz with the thrill of a new creation coming to life, he made a few modifications on his usual shopping list.
