[You know what now is a good time for? Escapism. The pen name of this author may be familiar from a certain long-running saga involving mechanics, but today they're turning therir hand to something a little different: a dreamy, elgaic story about Cobalt and Thorn crewing a small sailboat between postage-stamp sized verdant islands. They appear to be on some kind of ill-defined fetch quest, but mostly they spend a lot of time traversing beautiful sunlit seascapes while wearing loose white linens. Occasionally they put into port and run small, gentle errands while searching for clues to lead them on their trip: at present they are engaged in delivering a letter and a package from Leviathan to Wednesday. Nothing much actually happens and it's far slower-paced and far less sexy than the Mechanic Saga, but it's slow and gentle and dreamy and things aren't happening quite beautifully, so maybe that doesn't matter so much.]
