I'll admit I had a minor heart attack when I saw these prompts, but crime caper was sooo much fun. Definitely played fast and loose with the poolroom, but eh, it's in the judges' hands now.

Faith, Trust, and Highly Flammable Pixie Dust
The Curiosity Club is a death-trap for faeries, but Meri is determined to get herself–and her friends–out safely. All they’ll need is faith in human men’s greed, trust in each other, and the help of some (slightly explosive) pixie dust.


PLEASE share this story when we're able to post to the forums. I LOVE your title and the idea of a crime caper done in a fantasy setting... It makes me think of The Lies of Locke Lamora somehow.

Plans A and B, to swap the famed and framed 5k bill from behind the bar of the legendary Get a Cue poolroom and auction it off, seem simple enough, but when both fall through, will a risky Plan C succeed? Or should we have known better than to hustle a hustler?
