Iceberg 1: Learning Ice Magic

[bookblather]

Author: Kat, original story by Tom (serpentine)
Title: Learning Ice Magic
Story: Starikov Chronicles
Colors: Iceberg 12 (snowman) with geena's paint-by-numbers (And when it is closed, he already knows/He's forgotten all he knew before)
Supplies and Materials: Performance art, collage, graffiti, brush (euchre: to cheat or trick), watercolors (no unicorn or narwhal, but the demon's pretty awful), oils (words in winter), stain (Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad.- Diogenes the Cynic), glitter (a frozen lake), novelty beads (the cool factor)
Word Count: 830 in the original. Podfic is approximately four minutes long.
Rating: R.
Summary: The demon starts to teach Koschei how to use his cold magic.
Warnings: Sexual touch with minor (age seventeen), dubious consent, manipulation and being forced to sit in the cold.
Notes: Takes place when Kostya (also known as Koschei) is seventeen, years before he meets Zita. The demon in this is the demon who essentially owns the male bloodline of the Starikov family. I do hope I've pronounced Koschei correctly. Original here.

I really liked how you did the reading. It actually reminded me of some audiobooks I've read (strangely enough of one author's writing in particular...granted, she is also an inspiration too). Thank you.

(Sorry it too me so long to listen...I have feelings about revisiting some of my writing and apparently this story is a hard one to revisit.)

Don't worry about it. And thank you so much-- I'm so glad you think I did it justice.
