Tarot Fiction

Your fate,
narrated

This is for you if you like getting tarot readings or if you believe in the power of magic and symbols that arise in our lives through the material world. The same way that I believe that if we listen to ourselves, we can know all the answers, I also believe that tarot cards can hold up a mirror.

With this service, I lay the cards. I read what they reveal. Then I write the story they tell — not a prediction, but a myth. The figures in the cards become characters. The spread becomes a plot. You receive a piece of fiction that holds the truth of your reading like a secret inside a story.

Written slowly, on purpose

I never write a story in one day.

The first draft is by hand. Then I put it down and do something else, because a story needs time to rest before it can go deeper. The next day I come back and write it again, in different ways, still by hand. Only after that does it reach the laptop, and the real rewriting begins.

Every story finds its own rhythm. But each one takes days of my attention.

That’s why I write fewer stories, and why they cost what they do. I’d rather give yours the time it needs than write quickly and give you less.

What if I can’t afford it?

Write to me anyway. Tell me your situation, why you want this story, and who it’s for. I read every message, and sometimes I lower the price for someone who needs a story. I can’t do it for everyone, but I’d rather you ask than not.

Options

Major Arcana—One card, One story. ~1,000–2,000 words. €135 (on sale for €55)

Full Reading~Three-cards + story. ~2,000–3,500 words. €195

This is for the story you want to hold.

Every piece is written entirely by my hand, without the use of artificial intelligence. Please allow up to 10 business days for your reading to be drawn, interpreted, and written.

Children's Fiction

A story written
for your child

No two children are the same. Neither are two stories. Tell me about your child — what frightens them, what they dream of, what their world looks like right now — and I will write a story that belongs only to them. Their fear becomes a dragon they faced. Their wish becomes a prophecy fulfilled. Their life becomes the first myth they will carry.

Magic Fiction

Your words.
One world.

Not ready for a deep conversation? This is the open door. No category, no template. You tell me what you need a story to do, and I write it.

It's the same thing I do in the 1:1 conversations, just lighter. No call, no digging. A story that holds up a mirror, and lets you learn something about yourself the gentle way: through fiction.

It can be for you, when you're between two versions of your life and can't quite see your own shape yet. A story can show you what you haven't found words for.

It can be light. Something strange, funny, or tender to read on a slow Sunday.

It can be a gift. For the friend who always leaves the party first, or the person who has everything except a story about themselves.

Tell me anything — a question you can't answer, a person you're thinking about, a moment you want to understand. Give me whatever you have. I'll find the story in it.

You will not know what you are getting until it arrives. That is the point. This is a demonstration that story is everywhere, hiding inside the smallest things, waiting to be found.

(If you'd like to go deeper, have a look at the Mirror Conversation.)

Birthday Fiction

The myth made for you

Every birthday is a threshold. A before and an after. Most people let it pass unmarked. This is for those who know that crossing a threshold deserves a story — not a card, not a caption. Something that makes you feel, for the first time, like the hero of your own life.

There are two ways to tell that story.

The Myth is epic and sincere. The person becomes the hero they always were without knowing it. In this story, their life and character will be fictionalized.

The Epic. Tell me who this person is. What defines them. What makes everyone in the room laugh when their name comes up. I will write a story that holds up a mirror to their life. So they can see themselves, perhaps for the first time, as the protagonist of something that matters. As someone whose story is worth telling.
