✨ New Story Reveal: The Door in the Dandelions ✨

Hello, dear tea drinkers and tale lovers!

I’m thrilled to share a sneak peek into my newest fantasy project — a story that’s been quietly unfolding in my notebooks and finally wants to leap onto the page.

At its heart: This is a tale about a secret society of Fae living among us — hidden in plain sight, their magic woven into the cracks of our everyday world. And at the center of it all is a girl named Elara, who stumbles (or perhaps is led) into their world after a strange encounter in the woods. But Elara’s connection to the Fae may go deeper than chance — and she’s about to discover that some doors open for a reason.

Expect shimmering magic, ancient rivalries, shadowy bargains, and a heroine who’s about to find out what she’s really made of.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing: 🍃 Early chapters and exclusive scenes 🍃 Character art and moodboards 🍃 Behind-the-scenes peeks at worldbuilding and Fae lore 🍃 My messy notes and inspirations

Thank you for being here at Tales and Teacups — your support means the world, and I can’t wait to bring you along on this adventure. 💛

Stay tuned, and keep an eye on the shadows… sometimes they’re watching back. 😉

P.S.

No images posted are mine!! All credit goes to the creator(s)!!

The Keeper of Moonlight Fire

For centuries, he stood on the edge of the world, guarding the flame that no mortal had the right to touch.Yet the fire was never his to keep.It had been meant for her. The one who would awaken it.”

Some stories leave more than words — see what remains [bio link].

Prompt

In a world where everyone is reborn into the roles of heroes and villains, one girl awakens to find herself in a nightmare—she’s been reincarnated as the story’s villainess. Destined to fall, betrayed by those closest to her, and meet a tragic end, her fate seems inescapable.

But with her knowledge of the story’s plot, she’s determined to change everything. To survive, she must navigate a world that’s set against her, rewrite alliances, and avoid the traps laid out for her character. Will she break free from the villainess's doomed path, or will the weight of fate crush her attempts at redemption?

What will you choose: to rewrite destiny or fall to its inevitable end?

The Clockwork Garden 🕰️🌺

What happens when nature reclaims time itself?

Last night, I found a garden that doesn’t exist on maps. No—it exists between them.

Vines twist like rusted clockwork intestines, their thorns ticking in unison. Flowers bloom in fractal patterns, each petal a sundial casting shadows in directions sunlight never follows. The air smells like oxidized metal and forgotten birthdays. And at its center? A keyhole suspended in midair, humming a tune my bones recognized, but my mind didn’t.

I reached out. The moment my fingertip grazed the lock, the ground dissolved.

Now, I’m writing this from a place where roots type secrets on old typewriters and fireflies flicker in Morse code. The garden’s rules are simple:

1. Speak only in questions.

2. Never count the same leaf twice.

3. Leave a memory as payment.

I left my childhood goldfish’s name. What would you surrender?

PS: If you hear a clock chime 13 times tonight, don’t open your window. Or do.

The Spell & the Spark

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/9cjnkIT by WhatVenusWrote “You always think you’re better,” she hissed. “I don’t need to think,” he shot back. “I am.” In 1824, Thea Ashbourne arrives at Hogwarts with a borrowed wand, a sharp tongue, and the legacy of two unforgettable parents. Muggle-born. Unwelcome. Unbothered. She’s determined to master the magical world on her own terms — not charm her way through it. Then she meets Arian Montclair. Pureblood. Perfect. Poison-tipped charm in wizard form. They clash from the first moment, spar in every classroom, and burn through every hallway in a rivalry too electric to name. Over seven years, they push each other to the brink of fury, of brilliance, and of something neither of them is quite ready to admit. Now, on the eve of graduation, with the magical world pulling them in opposite directions, Thea must choose who she’ll become. Scholar? Rebel? Witch? And Arian? He’s never believed in fate.

#Indiecember Day 12 The next indie book in my TBR is The Black Veins. I, unfortunately, don't remember what this book was about, but it's Young Adult, Urban Fantasy, it's big on Found Family, a Road Trip, and little to no romance. There's also some hidden magic too. I'm hoping to read this book next year, I freaking swear it! Dead Magic book 1 The Black Veins is by @ashiawrites #Bookstagram #Books #AmReading #YoungAdult #YA #TBV #DeadMagic #TheBlackVeins #HiddenMagic #FoundFamily #RoadTrip #IndieBook #IndieAuthor #Fantasy #UrbanFantasy #FantasyBook #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #ReadersOfIg #ReadersOfInstagram #PoCAuthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CXZP4g0rdMc/?utm_medium=tumblr

There is quite old draw still in stock (this one from november, back then I was recovering from a looong inktober..^^). It was done quite fast, an easy coloration to go back to marker art. The subject of this composition was to have a "portal" hourglass, that pours the sand magically between the two spheres. (It's too discreet though) I even thought it could be an easy trick to have just a hidden pipe along the body. ^^ #brownart #lowcontrast #streetwearoutfit #hourglass #eggtimer #hourglassart #streetfashions #weirdclothes #hiddenmagic #fashionarts #mangafashion #magictrick #mangaartist #markerart #twinmarker #copicsketch #vividcolors #instagramartists #dailyarts #sketchoftheday✏️ #onepostaday #poseinstagram #mangastyleart #portal #portalreference #portalhourglass https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUmowwjomY/?igshid=12hphgfnk0sop

Prompt

At Wisteria Academy for Young Witches, each student receives a unique spell-mark upon their initiation, identifying the magical specialty they are destined to master. Most marks are common—potions, divination, elemental magic—allowing students to easily find their place. But your mark is different. It’s unrecognized by any professor or magical text, hinting at an ancient, forgotten form of magic.

To graduate and survive in this world, you must either uncover the secrets of your lost art by finding hidden, long-abandoned spellbooks, or take on the difficult task of reviving an ancient form of magic that hasn’t been practiced for centuries. As you investigate the mystery, strange occurrences around the academy begin to surface, and you suspect your unusual mark might hold the key to a larger, hidden conspiracy.

Can you spot today’s #hiddenmickeymonday? I would give this one a 5/10 on difficulty. My son and I spotted it immediately but my husband needed a little help to see it. Then my son and I had to have a debate about what constitutes a “real hidden Mickey.” Apparently he has a list of rules, some of which I disagree with 😂 What do you think? Are there rules for what makes a real hidden Mickey? . . . . . . . . . . #mickeymouse #waltdisneyworld #disneyhollywoodstudios #disneyparks #disneydining #hiddenmickey #mickeyhead #50sprimetimecafe #disneyrestaurant #50sstyle #vintagerestaurant #hiddenmagic #discoverunder2k #disneyblogger #disneyaccount #wdwap #disneylifestyle #disneymomlife #disneyfood #disneycommunity #disneyfriends #disneyorlando #disneyflorida #disneydays #disneyexperience #disneyenthusiast #disneysigns #disneydetails #disneymagic (at 50's Prime Time Café) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPRcRSqBRh-/?utm_medium=tumblr
