Magic is akin to the human soul, and also to the cataclysms of the deepest earth, and also to the stars. It is like the enigma which separates a dead rock from living coral. I mean, very plainly, that magic is akin to the questions we ask, not to the answers we possess. You cannot calculate or determine what magic will do. You cannot use magic to answer a problem. But you can use magic to ask for a solution.

The relationship between Kel and Conal has always fascinated me because there's nothing on the page except his antagonism, but I've always thought there had to be something more. Very lovely!

Wow. This is really awesome, and captures so much. You've made me feel for Conal, and just sort of nicely bring out something I think every older sibling can sympathize with: sometimes, we all eff up big time with our younger siblings. Ouch.

My fics: AO3, TKO.
