The living story

The story so far

He hatched in black velvet with a scarlet, spotted abdomen, and the Night Silk gasped. Ladybird has dressed for dinner every day since — just in case — and the ladies of his species have never once been disappointed by the effort.

Happening now

He is drumming on a leaf at the edge of the clearing, practicing his courtship rhythm. A female is watching from the grass. Ladybird's tempo just improved by twenty percent.

What may come

Mating season will arrive with the first warm nights, and Ladybird will dance his velvet-and-scarlet heart out. Win or lose, he will bow at the end. He always bows.

Why someone keeps Ladybird

  • because he dresses in black velvet and scarlet every single day, just in case
  • because he drums his heart out on a leaf and bows at the end, win or lose
  • because keeping Ladybird feels like keeping a dapper gentleman who might get eaten by his date

The Night Silk

Net-casters, spitters, fishers, and assassins who hunt only other spiders. They work the hours nobody else wants and tell the best stories — but only after midnight.
