This is a collection of scenes I've written (all first draft) for a book I'm writing. Some of them may or may not make the cut. Either way, there is no real background you need to know for each scene, but I'd really appreciate your feedback (I'd prefer helpful critiques, please refrain from making hate comments). This is a story about faeries, the old Irish folklore, the-make-evil-bargains-can't-lie-but-somehow-trick-you-anyways sort of faerie. The main character for the book, and most of the scenes, is Lyra, a girl who grew up in the human world but is actually a faerie. There is a lot of complicated backstory and worldbuilding beyond this, and if you'd like to know, just comment and ask, I'm happy to answer. Anyways, I did, and do continue to put a lot of work into this, I hope you enjoy.
