They may all be found [here](https://post-self.ink/cycle) as paperbacks, ebooks, and free to read in the browser.

### About the authors
> There's not that much literature out there that touches on this sort of 5-12 year old kidcore aesthethic and it was nice to see it done so beautifully. I absolutely loved it, it's up there with some of my favorite pieces.

Thanks, as always, to the polycule, who have been endlessly supportive, but most especially to The Lament, so many of whose words appear within this book.

They would talk of the small things and, when all claws or nails had been colored pink or blue or ever-shifting waves of green, they would roll onto their backs and pick out shapes in the clouds and Michelle/Sasha would tell Motes all of the things she would have done with her kids, had she had any.

Motes would explain all of the ways she would get in trouble — lying? Check. Punching a boy for calling her stinky? Check. Drawing on the walls? Check, in bold-face and italics — and for each one of them, Sasha/Michelle would counter with the most poetic of punishments: when Motes lied, she would make her live within a cone of silence for a whole day, so that no untruths could be heard. When Motes punched a boy for calling her stinky, Michelle/Sasha would take her with when she went shopping for perfumes and make her smell each and every one of them. When Motes drew on the walls, why, all other projects would need to be put on hold and she would simply have to keep going until every inch of the room was covered with the most beautiful art she had ever seen.
