As we near year's end, a look back at BCS stories of 2024!
"God’s Breath" by W.A. Hamilton, BCS #412:
"“But you will enthrall her!” Georn called to the star-god, a terrible certainty tearing the words from his chest. “Your song will call to her, pull her to your side. You would have us believe she is choosing, when your very breath plants a desire she will not be able to resist.”"

From the BCS Archives: "Love, Resurrected," in BCS #65, by @catrambo (who has a new story, "Conversation with a Dragon," in BCS #414 right now).
"This half-life dragged at her. She felt weary all the time, a chilled-bone sluggishness of motion that belied the quickness of her thoughts. It was not painful to breathe, but it was tiring, and she began to eschew it when alone and unworried about frightening the living."

"Blood and Desert Dreams" by Y.M. Pang.
"My twenty-ninth kill. My heart twisted inside me, as if it were tired of pretending to be calm. I’m sorry, I thought, continuing down the hallway. Lord Farand hadn’t seemed like a bad man. He’d even stopped to help a stranger."
