jadislefeu | OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY

So clear back in 2009, Seanan McGuire had a story called Inspirations published in The Edge of Propinquity. Which is a magazine that only keeps stories online for a year or two, which I didn't realize at the time, and by the time I did it was no longer online. I actually emailed both her and the magazine to see if there was any way I could give someone money for a copy of it, but no dice. I gave up, I had given up for years, but I was just now idly googling to see if it was in the wayback machine somewhere that I'd missed, and I discovered that long after I'd given up IT WAS REPUBLISHED IN NIGHTMARE MAGAZINE IN 2016. I CAN READ IT AGAIN. THIS STORY HAS HAUNTED ME FOR A FUCKING DECADE AND I'M FREEEEEE

Inspirations, by Seanan McGuire, at Nightmare Magazine. (Fair warning that it's gory brutal horror full of despair and betrayal.)
