Crossover Comix: The Priory of the Orange Tree by @sshannonauthor meets the Elemental Logic series (book 1 is Fire Logic) by Laurie J. Marks. Between thecentral f/f relationships, the many queer POV characters, the big worlds, and the subtle, imaginative magic systems…I just think these books should be friends. ⚔
My fifth work for A Year In Shaftal, the Elemental Logic fandom event hosted on @shaftal; prompts 33: a crossover, and 41: femslash february
I promised myself I would make this so simple, but it ended up clocking in at 26 hours, not counting research or writing ♀️
Did you decide to add a book to your to-read list because of this comic? I would like to hear about it! Are you one of the rare individuals who has already read both of these stories? I want to be your friend!
Bonus:
Available with transcript and even more author’s notes on ao3.

Clement is my favorite in a competitive field because I love when one woman is another woman’s narrative foil. Tracing complementary curves through their world, grappling with unbearable pain in such different ways, and both stepping out of it blinking and transformed… Clement illuminates Zanja’s journey. And her duty! Her moral struggles! Her bewildered embrace of new intimacy, friendship, and family! I could go on, and I probably will.
New blog! @shaftal is for fans of the Elemental Logic series by Laurie J. Marks. I love these books, and I want to discuss them with you and make fan works together~
I needed an icon, so: Zanja, a dagger and a glyph card.
