Summary
“Here, this is yours,” she says, a more formal address choking itself in her mouth. She sets the bag she has been carrying on the bed and turns to the Queen. The Queen has been carrying nothing since they left. She has been shuffling along clutching only her own elbows.
It occurs to her that the Queen may not even have a name anymore – that, too, was a gift of her birthright, which she has now forsaken. “What do I call you?” she asks.

Summary
When he’d told her about it all, about his father’s garden and his night of watch that had started him on his long journey, the Tsarevna had wondered whether the apples had given off their own light, and if that could not have been enough to stay awake by. When, later, she held the cage with the golden bird in her hands, she understood that no fruit could have compared to it, that even if the apples had any luminescence of their own, they would be nothing compared to the glory of this bird after midnight.

Fandoms: The Griffin and the Minor Canon - Frank R. Stockton
05 May 2024

Summary
The Minor Canon had known that the townspeople were mostly just happy to have the Griffin gone. But he’d thought that, maybe, being gone had made them realize what his role in the town was. What value he added. But it hadn’t at all. Their deference was just a performance, and the Minor Canon just a talisman to be polished and attended to lest misfortune befall them again.
And that meant that nothing had really changed. Before, it had always been just the Minor Canon and the few people who seemed to regard him with any sincerity at all, and the whole rest of them had spoken to him only out of politeness or obligation, or to ask for something. And that had been fine.
He glanced at the empty space where the stone griffin had been.
It was no longer fine.

Summary
Me, throwing all of my fairy tale ideas into one world with shared geography and overlap characters: this will definitely not get away from me and require actual thought and mapmaking, nope.
