'Human and Magician societies have existed in a tense, bitter truce for hundreds of years. So it should be a relief, this great good thing, when the Magicians finally relent and agree to share the secrets of their magic. But the joke is, as always, on the humans. (1/?)

My plan is to write a full first draft of this by the end of November. I have written almost nothing so far (except for teeny bits just for fun). I'm going to try and write 50 one-thousand-word-long chapters. (5/?)

TROPES IN THIS BAD BOY INCLUDE:

2. Turns out your childhood faves suck, actually (is this a trope? It should be)
3. Exes-to grudging allies-to friends-to lovers excellence (7/?)
