He dreamt of cards – he often did so now, though he had little enough to do with such things, waking, nor ever had.
The cards he dreamt were no mere lordling’s favored gambling deck, painted and illuminated by the skilled hand of the court’s current darling. Nay, these – these cards were …alive…. aware. As if each scene were a window cut into a living world, each different, alluring – each dangerous, as the world is, dangerous; each realized in fey perfection.
Want the rest? Check out The Cards of Fortunate Destiny
Also added a Splinters intro page

What the Heck is a Splinter Universe?
Glad you asked. Splinter Universe is a new short story feature site from Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. We’ll be posting stories on an irregular basis, along with teases, character sketches and perhaps the occasional cartoon. Some, even most, of the stories will be based in Sharon and Steve’s Liaden Universe®. However, the authors reserve the right to post a story set elsewhere, and to introduce new characters and situations.
First story in the line-up is “Kin Ties.” I’d tell you more, but it’s still being written. What I can tell you is that it concerns the affairs of a dead man, his wife, and the child of a bitter enemy.
