This short story is a crossover between Hazelthorn and Don't Let The Forest In. It contains major spoilers for Hazelthorn, but you could still read it even if you haven't read Don't Let The Forest In yet (it only contains minor spoilers for it). This story is from Laurie's POV and takes place in October during the events of Don't Let The Forest In. The story takes place in the lead-up to Chapter 16 in Don't Let The Forest In (and this all happens before the events of Hazelthorn).
Writing this was a chance to explore Laurie's previously untold perspective, and I thoroughly loved being in the head of my wretched, snarky boy. The story turned out to be 9,000 words, so, well — Laurie had much to say.
I hope you enjoy reading a little more forest rot.
