Finnian Blake

When a tired human roofer gets called out to fix a leaking tower roof, he expects a normal job. What he gets instead is Thyra-a twelve-foot wolf necromancer who can raise the dead, and is barely holding her crumbling home (and finances) together. A gentle, low-stakes, character-driven story about a lonely necromancer, a practical tradesman, and the slow warmth growing between them in a drafty old tower with very bad structural integrity.
Length: ~10k wordsFeatures: Big shy wolfgirl, skeleton named Steve, and a bit of roofing / HMOFA content. Comfy.
