The toadstools grew in a perfect ring the width of a childโ€™s hula hoop.
They were upside down and clinging to the ceiling like stalactites.
โ€œI have concerns,โ€ she said.
โ€œSo do I,โ€ they said. โ€œIf I step under it, does it count as stepping into a fairy circle? I mean, if a plane flies over a fairy circle it doesnโ€™t count as stepping into it, but do the same rules apply if youโ€™re walking under a fairy circle?โ€
โ€œRight.โ€
โ€œActually, what is the area of effect for a fairy circle? Is it like a sphere that has the same circumference of the circle, so if I just duck underneath it Iโ€™ll be fine? Or is it a cylinder? How far up does the cylinder go? Or down, in this case.โ€
โ€œRight.โ€
โ€œSome of the many mysteries of the fey we may wonder about forever.โ€
They continued to stare up at the ring of toadstools. Thoughtful seconds ticked by.
โ€œSee, my concerns are mostly about how much moisture you have in your room.โ€
โ€œSorry?โ€
โ€œYou have mushrooms growing out of your ceiling.โ€
โ€œOh.โ€
She patted their back with sympathetic pity. โ€œI appreciate that you live in a world of whimsy and delight, and I donโ€™t want to squash that because I love you, but I also really donโ€™t want you to die of black mold.โ€
โ€œSheโ€™s right, you know,โ€ said the goblin sitting upside down in the circle.

my favorite thing about tma/tmagp is its great diversity. tma was filled to the brim with sopping wet cat men. pathetic failure men. but not a ton of sopping wet cat women.
thankfully the magnus protocol has fixed this by being absolutely full of sopping wet beautiful pathetic cats of women.
this is the kind of diverse representation we need.

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. โ€œDo I look like a fool?โ€ said the frog.ย โ€œYouโ€™d sting me if I let you on my back!โ€
โ€œBe logical,โ€ said the scorpion.ย โ€œIf I stung you Iโ€™d certainly drown myself.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s true,โ€ the frog acknowledged.ย โ€œClimb aboard, then!โ€ But no sooner than they were halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the frog, and they both began to thrash and drown. โ€œWhy on earth did you do that?โ€ the frog said morosely. โ€œNow weโ€™re both going to die.โ€ย 
โ€œI canโ€™t help it,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œItโ€™s my nature.โ€
___
โ€ฆBut no sooner than they were halfway across the river, the frog felt a subtle motion on its back, and in a panic dived deep beneath the rushing waters, leaving the scorpion to drown.
โ€œIt was going to sting me anyway,โ€ muttered the frog, emerging on the other side of the river. โ€œIt was inevitable. You all knew it. Everyone knows what those scorpions are like. It was self-defense.โ€
___
โ€ฆBut no sooner had they cast off from the bank, the frog felt the tip of a stinger pressed lightly against the back of its neck. โ€œWhat do you think youโ€™re doing?โ€ said the frog.
โ€œJust a precaution,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œI cannot sting you without drowning. And now, you cannot drown me without being stung. Fairโ€™s fair, isnโ€™t it?โ€
They swam in silence to the other end of the river, where the scorpion climbed off, leaving the frog fuming.
โ€œAfter the kindness I showed you!โ€ said the frog. โ€œAnd you threatened to kill me in return?โ€
โ€œKindness?โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œTo only invite me on your back after you knew I was defenseless, unable to use my tail without killing myself? My dear frog, I only treated you as I was treated. Your kindness was as poisoned as a scorpionโ€™s sting.โ€
___
โ€ฆโ€œJust a precaution,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œI cannot sting you without drowning. And now, you cannot drown me without being stung. Fairโ€™s fair, isnโ€™t it?โ€
โ€œYou have a point,โ€ the frog acknowledged. โ€œBut once we get to dry land, couldnโ€™t you sting me then without repercussion?โ€
โ€œAll I want is to cross the river safely,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œOnce Iโ€™m on the other side I would gladly let you be.โ€
โ€œBut I would have to trust you on that,โ€ said the frog.ย โ€œWhile youโ€™re pressing a stinger to my neck. By ferrying you to land Iโ€™d be be giving up the one deterrent I hold over you.โ€
โ€œBut by the same logic, I canโ€™t possibly withdraw my stinger while weโ€™re still over water,โ€ the scorpion protested.
The frog paused in the middle of the river, treading water. โ€œSo, I suppose weโ€™re at an impasse.โ€
The river rushed around them. The scorpionโ€™s stinger twitched against the frogโ€™s unbroken skin. โ€œI suppose so,โ€ the scorpion said.
___
A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. โ€œAbsolutely not!โ€ said the frog, and dived beneath the waters, and so none of them learned anything.
___
A scorpion, being unable to swim, asked a turtle (as in the original Persian version of the fable) to carry it across the river. The turtle readily agreed, and allowed the scorpion aboard its shell. Halfway across, the scorpion gave in to its nature and stung, but failed to penetrate the turtleโ€™s thick shell. The turtle, swimming placidly, failed to notice.
They reached the other side of the river, and parted ways as friends.
___
โ€ฆHalfway across, the scorpion gave in to its nature and stung, but failed to penetrate the turtleโ€™s thick shell.
The turtle, hearing the tap of the scorpionโ€™s sting, was offended at the scorpionโ€™s ungratefulness. Thankfully, having been granted the powers to both defend itself and to punish evil, the turtle sank beneath the waters and drowned the scorpion out of principle.
___
A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. โ€œDo I look like a fool?โ€ sneered the frog. โ€œYouโ€™d sting me if I let you on my back.โ€
The scorpion pleaded earnestly. โ€œDo you think so little of me? Please, I must cross the river. What would I gain from stinging you? I would only end up drowning myself!โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s true,โ€ the frog acknowledged. โ€œEven a scorpion knows to look out for its own skin. Climb aboard, then!โ€
But as they forged through the rushing waters, the scorpion grew worried. This frog thinks me a ruthless killer, it thought. Would it not be justified in throwing me off now and ridding the world of me? Why else would it agree to this? Every jostle made the scorpion more and more anxious, until the frog surged forward with a particularly large splash, and in panic the scorpion lashed out with its stinger.
โ€œI knew it,โ€ snarled the frog, as they both thrashed and drowned. โ€œA scorpion cannot change its nature.โ€
___
A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. The frog agreed, but no sooner than they were halfway across the scorpion stung the frog, and they both began to thrash and drown.
โ€œIโ€™ve only myself to blame,โ€ sighed the frog, as they both sank beneath the waters. โ€œYou, youโ€™re a scorpion, I couldnโ€™t have expected anything better. But I knew better, and yet I went against my judgement! And now Iโ€™ve doomed us both!โ€
โ€œYou couldnโ€™t help it,โ€ said the scorpion mildly. โ€œItโ€™s your nature.โ€ย 
___
โ€ฆโ€œWhy on earth did you do that?โ€ the frog said morosely. โ€œNow weโ€™re both going to die.โ€
โ€œAlas, I was of two natures,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œOne said to gratefully ride your back across the river, and the other said to sting you where you stood. And so both fought, and neither won.โ€ It smiled wistfully. โ€œAh, it would be nice to be just one thing, wouldnโ€™t it? Unadulterated in nature. Without the capacity for conflict or regret.โ€
___
โ€œBy the way,โ€ said the frog, as they swam, โ€œIโ€™ve been meaning to ask: Whatโ€™s on the other side of the river?โ€
โ€œItโ€™s the journey,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œNot the destination.โ€
___
โ€ฆโ€œWhatโ€™s on the other side of anything?โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œA new beginning.โ€
___
โ€ฆโ€Another scorpion to mate with,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œAnd more prey to kill, and more living bodies to poison, and a forthcoming lineage of cruelties that you will be culpable in.โ€
___
โ€ฆโ€Nothing we will live to see, I fear,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œAlready the currents are growing stronger, and the river seems like it shall swallow us both. We surge forward, and the shoreline recedes. But does that mean our striving was in vain?โ€
___
โ€œI love you,โ€ said the scorpion.
The frog glanced upward. โ€œDo you?โ€
โ€œAbsolutely. Can you imagine the fear of drowning? Of course not. Youโ€™re a frog. Might as well be scared of breathing air. And yet here I am, clinging to your back, as the waters rage around us. Isnโ€™t that love? Isnโ€™t that trust? Isnโ€™t that necessity? I could not kill you without killing myself. Are we not inseparable in this?โ€
The frog swam on, the both of them silent.
___
โ€œIโ€™m so tired,โ€ murmured the frog eventually. โ€œHow much further to the other side? I donโ€™t know how long weโ€™ve been swimming. Iโ€™ve been treading water. And itโ€™s getting so very dark.โ€
โ€œShh,โ€ the scorpion said. โ€œDonโ€™t be afraid.โ€
The frogโ€™s legs kicked out weakly. โ€œHow long has it been? Weโ€™re lost. Weโ€™re lost! Weโ€™re doomed to be cast about the waters forever. There is no land. Thereโ€™s nothing on the other side, donโ€™t you see!โ€
โ€œShh, shh,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œMy venom is a hallucinogenic. Beneath its surface, the river is endlessly deep, its currents carrying many things.โ€ย 
โ€œYou - Youโ€™ve killed us both,โ€ said the frog, and began to laugh deliriously.ย โ€œIs this - is this what itโ€™s like to drown?โ€ย 
โ€œWeโ€™ve killed each other,โ€ said the scorpion soothingly. โ€œMy venom in my glands now pulsing through your veins, the waters of your birthing pool suffusing my lungs. We are engulfing each other now, drowning in each other. I am breathless. Do you feel it? Do you feel my sting pierced through your heart?โ€
โ€œWhat a foolish thing to do,โ€ murmured the frog. โ€œNo logic. No logic to it at all.โ€
โ€œWe couldnโ€™t help it,โ€ whispered the scorpion. โ€œItโ€™s our natures. Why else does anything in the world happen? Because we were made for this from birth, darling, every moment inexplicable and inevitable. What a crazy thing it is to fall in love, and yet - Itโ€™s all our fault! We are both blameless. Weโ€™re together now, darling. It couldnโ€™t have happened any other way.โ€
___
โ€œItโ€™s funny,โ€ said the frog. โ€œI canโ€™t say that I trust you, really. Or that I even think very much of you and that nasty little stinger of yours to begin with. But Iโ€™m doing this for you regardless. Itโ€™s strange, isnโ€™t it? Itโ€™s strange. Why would I do this? I want to help you, want to go out of my way to help you. I let you climb right onto my back! Now, whyever would I go and do a foolish thing like that?โ€
___
A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. โ€œDo I look like a fool?โ€ said the frog. โ€œYouโ€™d sting me if I let you on my back!โ€
โ€œBe logical,โ€ said the scorpion. โ€œIf I stung you Iโ€™d certainly drown myself.โ€ ย 
โ€œThatโ€™s true,โ€ the frog acknowledged. โ€œCome aboard, then!โ€ But no sooner had the scorpion mounted the frogโ€™s back than it began to sting, repeatedly, while still safely on the riverโ€™s bank.
The frog groaned, thrashing weakly as the venom coursed through its veins, beginning to liquefy its flesh. โ€œAh,โ€ it muttered.ย โ€œFor some reason I never considered this possibility.โ€
โ€œBecause you were never scared of me,โ€ the scorpion whispered in its ear.ย โ€œYou were never scared of dying. In a past life you wore a shell and sat in judgement. And then you were reborn: soft-skinned, swift, unburdened, as new and vulnerable as a child, moving anew through a world of children. How could anyone ever be cruel, you thought, seeing the precariousness of it all?โ€ The scorpion bowed its head and drank. โ€œHow could anyone kill you without killing themselves?โ€
