The Lantern Between Stars
Teen And UpNo Warnings ApplyFinishedGenEnglishPart of The Embers Between · #1
Every crossing between the stars is paid for by the light of a lantern, and every lantern is paid for in memory. Aster Vane takes the post at Lantern Nine expecting a quiet year and an empty ledger. Then a convoy asks for a flame that would cost more names than the frontier can spare, and the ledger turns a page by itself.

Read it twice and cried twice. The line about the lantern getting the copy is going to live in my head rent free. Thank you for finishing it.
Thank you for reading it twice — that is two more crossings than the lantern expected. I am glad the last page worked; I rewrote it four times.
