My Dearest | Issues, Issue 13, May 2018 by Charlotte Burnett in the April issue of The Write Launch

My Dearest Sometimes I think they did it deliberately, these nations, started this war just to separate you and me. Sometimes I think they all did, these strange cowards who’ll follow me into battle....

Lady Button and the Scandal in the Library

It was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, Fanny decided. A very pleasant way indeed, to sit here and watch her favourite television show play across the screen. Not, she amended, that there weren’t many other pleasant ways to spend an afternoon, but there was just something so very freeing about watching something on the television. Perhaps it was because unlike say an activity like reading, she only needed Alison for a very brief moment.

Robin vs. the Diabolical Writer: or why Alison can never have anything nice to herself anymore

There was a trick being played here. Of that fact at least the ghost now known to all as Robin was certain of. A trick. It had to be. It was a pretty good trick. It had certainly fooled the other ghosts. They were all much too focused on smelling the deep aromatic smells of the combined forces of a takeaway Chinese, Indian, and Italian.

The Small Ones – Chapter 8: The Small Ones

Christmas is a fad. The others don’t believe it when he says this, they make excuses and allowances for their strange little cobbled together holiday. How its been here for two thousand years already. He almost laughs at the person who says that, it is only through the fact that it is Fanny that he manages retrains himself. Instead he states a simple fact.

The Small Ones – Chapter 7: The Others Part 2 – Weird Witches

The memory, he loses himself in now is older still, older than Camelot, or the house of Pendragon, older even than the Saxons. He thinks anyway, when they are not on this shore, he does not know their history. Maybe he shall ask someone more recently dead, when he has clawed his way back to the waking world again. But for now, all he can do is give himself to the memory.

The Small Ones – Chapter 6: The Others Part 1 – Silly Magicians

Robin knows that sometimes the others find him strange, he is neither particularly stupid nor blind to the odd looks his behaviour provokes in them. He is strange, he was so in life even to the people of his own time, and he has only become more of himself in death. He knows that the other ghosts, or at least many of them, if they had died as adults do not share his joy at following the lives of the birds or the field mice.

The Small Ones – Chapter 5: The Strong Ones Part 2: The People of the Stones

She did not see him. Not as the person he truly was, not as her brother. She did not know him, he knew this for a fact when after the man, the person that had broken the stone had been seen too and fussed over she had looked up. Up into the faces of the three strangers standing on the hill.

The Small Ones – Chapter 4: The Strong Ones

Many of the day-to-day memories of his life, of the days, the years, the decades leading up to that fateful lightning strike, are now faded and grey from lack of use. When he had first died, on the day of the bear and the lightning storm he had been in too much shock to think much of anything. But after the first year, the first time someone had walked through him, Robin began to accept what had happened to him.

The Small Ones – Chapter 3: The Pretty Ones

The forest had not been a scary thing to Robin now for many a year. Why would it be? The forest was life. It gave them the food they hunted and gathered; the streams they drank from ran through it; and most importantly, it sheltered them from their enemies. Whether those enemies be the great storms that Mahal unleashed upon the land in his fury at being trapped beneath the earth; the great predators, that would carry off the unwary infant; or even rival clans of dwarves, really didn’t matter.

The Small Ones – Chapter 2: The Bearded Ones

It turned out, life as a trader was not the same as a life of an adventurer. Sure, you did get to travel, and to see many different places you wouldn’t have otherwise. But it wasn’t in anyway a heroic or exciting road. You set out from your cave, with your travelling pack weighed down with all sorts of carved, and knapped things.

The Small Ones – Chapter 1: The Family

The people who Robin is born to will be given many different names in the years, the decades, the ages to come. Drúedain, Ogre, Savage, Caveman, Neanderthal – all of these are names he will hear and answer to over the years, the centuries of his death, but none of them applied in life. None of them, were what his people called themselves – of course he no longer recalls the exact word they used, but he remembers with a clarity that can only really come when one is dead, the meaning of the word.

The Small Ones – Fanfiction Announcement 

I told you I’d be back, didn’t I? Funny story, a while back when most of these fanfics were nothing but pictures in my head - I had several ideas on the story that would follow the War of the Dead. I knew I wanted to introduce the kind of world that the end of that story had created as something quite different than our own, but the question remained how to go about doing that.
