Timothy Weaver, smalltime witch and full-time survivor, is having a rough season, and the dragon child that crash-landed in his forest home hasn't made things any better. Now he's stuck in a new town, hiding the very secret that drove him to spend seven years with only the critters of the wood for company. Still, there's at least one nice thing about living in the small town of Fresa-- it's never boring.

But when a new patient crosses his path, a hybrid faerie named Ashton, even he begins to doubt his ability to help this patient. Ashton doesn't know where he is or how long he's been away from home.

Milk Teeth & Moon Sugar
Milk Teeth & Moon Sugar follows Vesper Retchley, a dry-witted, sharp-eyed apartment witch with a talent for quiet magic and a habit of writing things down before they slip through the cracks. Her apartment isn't much - creaky floorboards, a stubborn kettle, a cat with too many opinions, and two pigeons who gossip more than they fly-but it's hers. And it's where the magic settles: not in spells or spectacle, but in small nudges, warm rituals, and the soft reshaping of everyday life. Vesper doesn't chase adventure. She brews tea, listens closely, and occasionally corners a neighbor in the hallway to help them get their life back on track. She writes not for fame, but because the world is always saying too much-and she needs a quiet place to answer back. This is a story about the magic tucked between the lines of ordinary life. Cozy, clever, and a little offbeat, it's perfect for anyone who knows that even the smallest moments can carry a touch of wonder.
