An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
the singular work that now exists on the ao3 archive for The Sigilist's Notes on the Fell Lord's Staff by Stephen Granade is here, written for @ageorwizardry for battleship 2025! even if you don't read the fic, please do give this queer short story (linked above) a read - it's delightful and chewy and 100% free!
the fic takes place after canon but still pre-relationship!
