Summary

Author's Notes

Both the title and Artemisia's name (genus of Wormwood) are a nod to Wormwood from The Screwtape Letters, which was my first thought when epistolary stories came up. I named the other characters via the connection to absinthe. Nella is from pimpinella, the genus of anise, though I wouldn't give her anything that awful as an actual name. Flora is short for Florence, which is a common fennel cultivar.

Additional spoiler-ish details about Flora

She is the human half of a changeling swap, and was raised in the fae realm. While I don't know an exact age, she's certainly older than she looks. Settling down in a quaint little human village to be boring and responsible was probably a rebellious act for her.
