  1. Summary

    This series is dedicated to the ficlets I write on my Twitter: once a month I receive prompts to write, so I'm leaving the corresponding fics here. December is already ready (I took a long time lol), January, February, and March are coming up!

    Summary

    The ages are truly dark: there are no books around, and if there were any, hardly any would be describing the nature of birds. Fortunately, a keen mind can easily notice details and draw conclusions. Especially when there is ample time for it — all sixteen years of it looming ahead. And so, Maleficent gains a lot of insights — absolutely unsolicited, small, somewhat funny, somewhat serious insights — about birds. More precisely, about ravens. About one of them in particular.

    Summary

    Maleficent lets out a long-suffering sigh. “It’s been three days, and you’ve been remiss in your duties. Your observations of the little beastie. Have the three bird-brained imbeciles finally burned down their cottage and the creature with it?”

    “I beg your pardon.

    “Oh, don’t be offended, even you must admit you have your moments. Like when you’re supposed to report back to me and come bringing back twigs instead of anything useful!”

    Or,

    The one where Diaval is shiftily building something at the base of Maleficent's tree and she has absolutely no idea what's up with that or why he's decorating it so intently with items that are the colour of her eyes. During nesting season.

    Summary

    Touching is different for ravens and humans. Diaval learns, and as his unusual unkindness grows, they learn too.
